- Wear good shoes, a hat and sunscreen.
- Take water and snacks, and charge your phone.
- Run in groups, not alone.
- Stick to the marked trails.
- Keep a safe distance from baboons and snakes.
- Respect wild animals and do not feed them.
Summer is hot, so run early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Take care at river crossings, and do not cross after rain or when the water is flowing fast.
