Do I need a guide in the forest?

Yes — a guide is strongly recommended (and effectively essential) for orientation and wildlife. A skilled guide can be the difference between spotting ~40 species and 120+ on the same walk. Guide fees are separate from the entry fee; confirm current rates at the gate or with KEEP guides.
