CODE OF CONDUCT and ETIQUETTE
Tips for a comfortable, happy and safe visit ...
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
CALLING ALL VISITORS

Tourism, a valuable source of foreign currency to East Africa, seems set to become the world's largest industry, with people travelling internationally each year.  The resulting environmental, cultural and ethical impacts on destinations are profound.  However, travel is a natural right of all people - and is a crucial ingredient of world peace and understanding.

With rights come responsibilities and respect for the dignity and diversity of other cultures and concern for the natural resources of the destinations we visit.  It is up to us to ensure that they survive for future generations to enjoy.

While you are in East Africa, we hope you will take the opportunity to learn more about its extraordinary geography, culture and customs.  

Listen to the local people and learn about locally-based and international conservation efforts.  

Many organisations are working to protect this land and people, and they need your help.
East Africa contains a mixture of races and religions.  It is interesting to take time to learn about the customs of the area you are visiting, and helpful to respect its traditions.

Mombasa Old Town is a Muslim area.  Respect the customs and dress code.  Women should not wear shorts and skimpy shirts while in the town, as this can cause offence and unnecessary hassle.  Knees and shoulders should be covered at all times.

If you are wishing to take photographs of the local people, you should ask their permission.  In some instances, you may be expected to pay for the privilege.

  • If you are travelling with a Guide, ask his advice if you are not sure about local etiquette.  Hotel staff can also be extremely helpful.
  • Throwing sweets to children is degrading and embarrassing.  The people in these countries are not beggars and have a right to be treated with respect.
  • Do not give money to street children - invariably the money will be used to purchase glue for sniffing or other drugs.
