However, animal tourism in past years hasn&#8217;t necessarily always been ethical, although things are looking better! Here&#8217;s what to keep in mind before you book your (sustainable) animal encounter experience&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Tip 1: Stay wild<\/h3>\n<p>The first rule of thumb is that you don&#8217;t want to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">interfere with the personal space<\/span> of the animals&#8230; they&#8217;re kind of like <a href=\"\/the-trave-food-show-5-must-eats-in-finland\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Finnish<\/a> people in that way. This is why observing the animals from a distance while they are in their natural habitat in the wild is the best way to have an animal experience. This could include wild safaris, national parks, or wildlife sanctuaries. A perfect example is <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Chiang Mai&#8217;s Elephant Nature Park<\/span>, where the elephants go about their daily business while you get to be an observer on the side. Whatever you do, it&#8217;s not a good choice to go riding an elephant: that&#8217;s not exactly their natural habitat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>{{cta(&#8216;5f875785-0742-4245-b4d2-5e73c7be0327&#8242;,&#8217;justifycenter&#8217;)}}<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/elephants-4275741_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Three elephants on a savannah at sunrise\" width=\"378\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 378px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/whale-1118876_1920.jpg\" alt=\"A tail of a whale diving into the blue ocean\" width=\"378\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 378px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Observe animals in their natural habitat<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Tip 2: Read tourism operator reviews<\/h3>\n<p>We all know that one of the first places we go to check if something is worthwhile or not is by checking the reviews. You should do this also when booking your animal encounter experience. Look for both positive and negative reviews to get a proper understanding. Usually, the 1 or 2-star reviews tell you best if something during the tour was unsustainable! <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Google reviews, Trip Advisor and Facebook<\/span> are all worth checking out as to what the people are saying. You can even check if the tour operator is certified under international certifications such as the Fair Trade Tourism certification. By going in a <a href=\"\/how-to-a-perfect-group-travel-experience\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">group<\/a>, you can also book a private tour for a reasonable price!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>{{cta(&#8216;1942fc05-157b-43d9-9c87-efcdb6a46b6c&#8217;,&#8217;justifycenter&#8217;)}}<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Tip 3: If animals are used for entertainment purposes, it&#8217;s probably a good idea to skip it<\/h3>\n<p>If the animal is being used for entertainment, this is a sure red flag. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Performing dolphins, elephant painting, snake charming, dancing bears&#8230;<\/span> you get the idea. I think we can all be quite sure that the animal is almost as far away from its natural habitat as it is possible to be. Note: this includes zoos! Since when was it normal that we gawk at giraffes in a cage in the middle of <a href=\"\/the-best-road-tripsin-europe\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Europe<\/a>? Just head to <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/trips\/destination\/Africa\"   title=\"Africa\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" target=\"_blank\">Africa<\/a> instead, and take your friends with you! \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>{{cta(&#8217;93abaf6a-eec9-49ef-b6e4-b36aaccb7a68&#8242;,&#8217;justifycenter&#8217;)}}<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Tip 4: Support local\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>This is one of the top ways to begin traveling sustainably. You can check out some more tips on how to do just that <a href=\"\/how-to-sustainable-travel\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. When it comes to animal tourism, it&#8217;s important that you consider supporting the community as well. Donating money to international corporations may be a good idea sometimes, but what is more important is that you&#8217;re actually <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">supporting communities<\/span> where sustainable animal tourism takes place. By eating at local restaurants and embracing a different culture, you&#8217;re also giving opportunity for the community to protect their natural environment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/bagan-3996479_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Two women selling seafood in Myanmar on the street\" width=\"1920\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 1920px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Support local\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Tip 5: Keep it on the DL\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Animals aren&#8217;t fans of large crowds and lots of noise. In fact, it can even be traumatizing for animals who have been the victim of fear-based training, for example. So, you&#8217;re best served with a tour operator that makes sure the animals <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">aren&#8217;t being overwhelmed<\/span> by your presence! Also&#8230; animals aren&#8217;t necessarily fans of selfies! Keep your distance. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/neil-and-zulma-scott-8n6afAEGTAc-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A lion lying down licking its foot in Africa\" width=\"3088\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 3088px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Shh!
