We are a smoke-free property. Smoking is NOT permitted in the rooms or common areas. You are free to smoke at the designated smoking area OR in the balcony of your own room. While in the balcony of your room, please ensure that the doors are closed, so that the smoke does not enter the room.

InnTheWild does not serve alcohol. Should you bring your own alcohol, please note that consumption must be restricted to ONLY your area of accommodation. Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited in common areas of the property.

Possession, consumption, or distribution of banned or illegal substances in any form is strictly prohibited and can attract severe penalties/prosecution by law enforcement.

Please do NOT litter anywhere. It is against the Law.

There are dustbins provided in every room for waste. If you are smoking, please ask the staff for an ashtray for your room balcony/veranda. Avoid using polythene bags, tetra packs and other bio non-degradable materials.

Respect the nature and the beauty that surrounds you.

Pay attention to the prior briefing and interaction with local staff in order to make your stay safe, informative, and enjoyable.

• Do not feed the animals or attempt to catch their attention by throwing stones or making noises, this can frighten them away or provoke them to attack — elephants especially can be very aggressive and cause fatalities
• To blend in, avoid wearing or carrying items with bright colours; opt for neutral colours like brown, olive green, khaki and beige
• Maintain absolute silence (especially while on safari); if you are carrying a cell phone, set it to silent mode
• Never walk in the wilderness on your own; the Tree House and Tree Top accommodations are a little away from the common area, always request for a staff member to accompany you
• If you want to take a nap in your room or step out of your room, be sure to lock the doors and keep the windows closed — you wouldn’t want any animal friends paying you surprise visits
