Managing our guest’s expectations: PART 3
Are there any snakes around?
The much anticipated question and one we know you’ve all been waiting for 🤭
So, the short answer is: Yes! Again, let’s remember we are guests in Mother Natures garden. But, we can say that most of our sightings are ones of a fleeting presence as they move through and we are only left with a little clue that they have grown and moved on.
When, on the rare occasion, we do cross paths, we can assure all our guests that we are equipped with the correct tools and means to relocate the ones who may have overstayed their welcome.
Very, very rarely are we privileged enough to witness these amazing creatures in action. So rare that we are only able to boast ONE such video in 4 years.
Being in a Forest, it goes without saying our most frequent visitor is the Boomslang. But this guy is very shy and does not hang around waiting for guests to panic. He will find a way to escape as quickly as he can. The trick is to allow him the space to do so!
Our Night Adders are easier to catch and relocate, but we rarely see these around the cabins where it’s busy.
But, the most important thing to remember is that our snakes are not actively looking to intrude where they are not wanted. We have, to date, not had to remove any snakes from our guest cabins, so as stats go, we think you’ll be just fine!
Now we are off to go touch wood 🤭😂 Good thing we have a whole forest!
