BOOKING CONDITIONS AND PAYMENT

Terms and Conditions

A booking is confirmed by the issue of the final itinerary.

The booking is accepted only after we receive written confirmation from you along with 30% of the value of the travel arrangements.

If the booking is made within 30 days before the start date of your tour, then the full value of the travel arrangements is required at the time of confirmation.

Payment made to our account confirms that you have accepted our booking conditions.

Payment Schedules

30% of the full value of the travel arrangements is required after confirmation of your booking.

The balance should be paid 4 weeks prior to the agreed start date of your tour, otherwise we may treat the booking as cancelled by you.

Price policy

If the price of your travel arrangements is increased by matters outside our control such as governmental action, currency exchange rate fluctuation, suppliers’ price increases, or for any other reason, you must either pay the additional price to us when we request it or cancel your travel arrangements in accordance with these booking conditions.

Travel & Health Insurance:

Tour participants will have to provide their own travel insurance. We recommend a comprehensive insurance cover that covers all the activities and events included in the itinerary. It is understood and accepted that your proposed tour may expose you to inherent dangers; and that you may be traveling through remote areas, and wildlife habitats exposing yourselves to adverse political, physical, health, climatic and other injurious conditions.

You may require extra cover for adventurous activities such as scuba diving, rock climbing, gliding and ballooning. If your normal health insurance does not cover you for medical expenses abroad, please enhance the same or get an extra insurance cover and mail us a copy of the policy, as evidence. Please always keep a copy of the policy with you.
