Safety rules
Like any natural area, Hòfi Mango has some inherent dangers. While we make every effort to ensure everyone’s safety as much as possible, we do not control nature. Therefore, here are some important ground rules.
– The instructions of the employees regarding safety must be followed.
– You can find manzaliña trees almost everywhere in Hòfi Mango. You can recognize the manzaliña tree mainly by its small green apples. The fruit of this tree is particularly poisonous; however, some people get blisters just by touching it. Taking a picture while sitting on the branches of this tree in the Elephant Graveyard is therefore allowed at your own risk. Do not walk under manzaliña trees when it rains.
– Visitors must only use the paths and roads for their walk through the park. This is for your safety, but also to prevent damage to the surrounding nature.
– Mangoes regularly fall from the trees in the Mango Forest. Fun to catch, but less so when they fall on you. Therefore, be alert for falling mangoes.
– Hòfi Mango has many natural trails. However, these trails are uneven, not always easy to see, and muddy and slippery when it has rained. Take care and enjoy the untouched nature- In nature there are several natural elements that can sometimes be dangerous if one is not careful. For example, bees (hives), holes, mounds and broken or falling branches. Therefore, you should pay close attention.- Be careful when climbing stairs and hills. When in doubt about your climbing skills, please ask for help.- Pay attention to your children and do not lose sight of the- Be sure to use the trash cans and do not throw anything on the ground.
