All the bookings will be confirmed by us in writing as we confirm beforehand from our suppliers. On occasion, changes may be necessary. Hotels/lodges/camps where specifically named are given as an indication of the category, and rooms may be reserved at similar hotels/lodges/camps. We will advise you of any changes known to us prior to departure, but the possibility of change without notice, must be accepted when booking- even though it rarely happens. Single rooms are available at supplementary cost. Safari vehicles or shuttles will be provided according to the route and number of participants and as confirmed in your booking. The right is reserved to employ the services of sub-contractors if necessary. English speaking guides are provided. Occasional mechanical problems, changes of lodge or adverse road conditions may in turn require a changed with routing or game viewing without prior notice being given.

In practice very few itineraries are affected, but a little flexibility, on your part, will ensure that your tour is unique and rewarding.

We cannot be held liable for any third party arrangements you arrange in conjunction on your own. For example, we cannot be held liable if you miss your tour departure because you fail to arrive at the departure point at the agreed time.
