What should I do if I encounter baboons while walking with dogs?

Dogs must be on leashes at all times, both for their own safety and the safety of other dogs and wildlife in the village. Provided your dogs do not chase or react aggressively towards them, they will be ignored by the baboons. Just make sure to keep your distance. 

If your dogs are reactive to baboons, rather turn around and take a different route. If the baboons are heading towards you and there is no alternative but to meet them head on, stop on the side of the roadside and calmly control your dog by holding onto its collar or harness.  The baboons will briskly pass by and will not linger near a reactive dog.
