A responsible safari begins with everyday decisions: how close your vehicle approaches an elephant, whether you ask before photographing someone, where you buy your souvenirs, and what happens to your rubbish after a picnic.

Learning a few Swahili phrases before visiting Tanzania can make everyday conversations easier.
