💡 Go early (7-9am) for the freshest fruit and to avoid the midday heat. Vendors don't haggle on basics, but polite bargaining works for clothing.
💡 Bring small coins or fruit as offerings — the caretaker appreciates it. Don't feed the crocs yourself; let the guide handle it. Best visited with a local to avoid misunderstandings.
💡 Wear closed-toe shoes and long trousers against ants and grass. Ask for a guide at the village chief's house (small fee expected). Carry water — no shops along the route.
💡 Entry is free for rehearsals on Wednesday evenings (17:00-19:00). Paid events (about 500 CFA) happen monthly. Check with the town hall secretary for the schedule.
