Before you begin

Gather your supplies

Tick these off as you shop, borrow or pull them from the house. The list is a practical starting point, not a claim that every item is required.

The plan

Choose Approved Locations

Choose Approved Locations: Ask the owner, venue or site manager for explicit permission separately for every stop. Use accessible public areas with seating, clear exits and suitable weather cover; do not use moving transit or enter a private business without consent.
Agree the Route

Agree the Route: Publish the approved stops, walking distances, accessible route, meeting point, finish time and one named safety lead. Do not change locations without the organiser's approval.
Play Approved Short Rounds

Play Approved Short Rounds: At each stop, confirm the game and surface are allowed, keep walkways clear, and play one short-form round that ends immediately if staff or other guests object.
Close the Safari

Close the Safari: Score the approved rounds, retrace the accessible route together and leave every location exactly as found.
Name the Champion

Name the Champion: The player with the highest approved score wins, with a paper crown or other soft prop made before the route begins.
