RULES:
1. Participation in the South Africa Safari Animal Checklist Bingo is optional. You can choose to play just on animals, just birds or not at all. 2. You can only score the allotted points once per animal, regardless of how many sightings you have. 3. If you see the animal MATING, you can DOUBLE your points. Mark your scoresheet with an M next to that animal. 4. If you see any animal that is 30 points or above, you should have photographic proof OR confirmation from an experienced guide/safari-goer to avoid controversy (if you are playing against others). 5. If you see an animal/bird that is not included within the list, mark it in the additional space provided. You can choose to allocate points per guide advice or group decision. 6. Points allocated can be changed based on group decision if you disagree with the classification/points on this sheet!
RATING SCALE:
Common = 5 points Rare animals = 30 points Animals you have a good chance of seeing = 10 points SUPER RARE = 50 points Animals you are lucky to see = 20 points CRAZY SUPER RARE = >50 points
