Clear rules regulating visitor behaviour within
the MMNR are essential to ensure that visitor impacts on the
MMNR’s exceptional wildlife and habitats are minimised, and
that a high quality visitor experience is maintained. Although both
the CCN and the Mara Triangle sections of the MMNR have existing
visitor regulations, they are somewhat different (particularly with
regard some visitor activities) and have not always been accessible
to or easily understood by visitors to the area. To address this
issue, the box overpage sets out a simple set of visitor
regulations and guidelines in the form of an MMNR Visitor Code of
Conduct, for use across the entire MMNR. The Code of Conduct will
be reproduced in a small leaflet and/or on the back of a postcard
and made freely available at key points in and around the Reserve,
such as entrance gates, lodges, and ticket outlets. The regulations
will also be reproduced on a poster that can be displayed at all
MMNR gates and entry points. The Code of Conduct will also be
incorporated into the MMNR’s bylaws as appropriate when these
are revised and updated (see Action 1.2 of the PA Operations
Programme).
