Or maybe it\u2019s your dream to visit somewhere you\u2019ve seen in a viral video, where elephants are rescued and live out their days splashing in the water together? No matter how you want to interact with the animals you see on your travels, a wildlife tour is always the best way to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, however, not all wildlife tours are created equal. If you want to make sure the animals you see on your travels are happy and healthy, and support the local community while you\u2019re at it, you\u2019ll need to make sure the wildlife tour you choose is legitimate. With a little research, you\u2019ll be able to rest assured knowing that the first time you spot a lion in the wild, they\u2019ll be just as happy as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/f\/safari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a safari tour <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wildlife6.jpg\" alt=\"Ethical Animal Tourism is also about elephants\" class=\"wp-image-19225 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wildlife6.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wildlife6-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Animals in a sanctuary should have plenty of space | \u00a9 Nicole Olwagen\/Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which are the warning signs of a bad wildlife sanctuary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to a wildlife sanctuary can make all of your animal dreams come true: after all, you\u2019ll be visiting with animals rescued from various states of neglect or danger, and you\u2019ll be able to enjoy their newfound freedom with them! It\u2019s a heartwarming, exciting adventure. However, there are a few things to keep an eye out for if you want to visit a wildlife sanctuary that cares about more than just how much money visitors pay to see the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Animal habitats. <\/strong>The animals should live in an environment as close to their natural habitat as possible. Things like cages, bars, or sterile enclosures are warning signs. Ideally, the animals would have little contact with the staff unless necessary for their health. <\/li><li><strong>Photo-ops. <\/strong>We know, we know. Did you even go to the animal sanctuary if you can\u2019t post a selfie with one of them? But sanctuaries should never promote any kind of physical contact between visitors and animals &#8211; it can stress them out and cause health problems. If permitted, only take photos from a distance!<\/li><li><strong>Baby animals. <\/strong>While they\u2019re adorable, seeing a large amount of baby animals at a sanctuary could indicate the sanctuary is breeding animals. This could suggest the sanctuary cares more about pleasing their visitors than the animals they care for.<\/li><li><strong>Crowds. <\/strong>You know how you sometimes feel nervous in a crowded room? Imagine how the animals feel! Responsible sanctuaries will often limit the number of visitors and have strict time slots for visits in order to put the well-being of the animals first.<\/li><li><strong>Anxious animals. <\/strong>Are they pacing, shaking, or making a lot of noise? Do they seem to be afraid of the sanctuary staff? It\u2019s usually easy to see when animals are uncomfortable or unhappy, and if most of them seem to be, it could be an indication that things aren\u2019t quite right. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/first-time-safari-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Time Safari Tips: How to Get the Most Out of Your Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wildlife5.jpg\" alt=\"A tiger sitting on a rock\" class=\"wp-image-19224 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wildlife5.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wildlife5-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>If an animal seems anxious, they may be unhappy with their environment | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/-KNNQqX9rqY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Nick Karvounis\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Nick Karvounis\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to choose the right animal&nbsp;sanctuary&nbsp;tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right wildlife tour should be your perfect mixture of adventure, quality, and experiences.
