To the toilets - if we may, but not before this: You need to drink enough water to keep yourself well hydrated through out the walking safari. You will sweat some of the water out - but you can also expect that you will frequently need to use the toilet. Now which toilet?

You are in nature and what is needed is the etiquette. And here is a guideline;

1) Alert your safari guide that you want to make a brief toilet stop. He will scan the area to give the all important safety OK and he will also hold keep the rest of the group within a respectable distance from you.

2) Move away from the hiking trail , any source of water and sites that you can clearly see they are used for picnics etc.

3) What ever you do , if need be cover it up with grass, twigs or rocks and nature will take over the decomposition.

4) Leave no footprints - so don't leave behind any plastics, bottles or materials that can not decompose.
