PASSPORTS, VISAS AND OTHER TRAVEL PAPERS:
It is the client’s sole responsibility to ensure that passports, visas, health certificates, proof of vaccinations, and any other documentation required are all in order for the countries to be visited.
The Company cannot be held liable for any consequences, damages, or claims if the client does not attend correctly to the client’s documentation and related matters prior to the commencement of the tour.
BAGGAGE
At any time, all baggage and personal effects are at the client’s responsibility, and the Company does not accept any liability for any loss or damage of any personal effects, howsoever arising.
Clients are recommended to pack light at least one bag of not more than 15 kg (backpack or soft bag – no hardtop suitcase) and a daypack. Please notice that on our trekking tours and on some “bush” flights, other baggage regulations may apply.
RISK ON SAFARI:
We recommend that the client is fully insured by a reputable insurance company as he/she accepts that all tours are of an adventurous nature and may involve an element of personal risk. Therefore, neither the company nor any of its agents can be held liable in any way for any injury, loss of life, or damage to property, howsoever caused. The client hereby indemnifies the company and will hold the Company, its agent, assigns, and servants harmless from any such claim.
The client accepts full responsibility for all risks involved.
The client must at all times comply with the laws, customs, and foreign exchange regulations of The United Republic of Tanzania
MARKETING:
In consultations with the clients, the Company will request the right to use any photographs and videos taken during tours for marketing or any other advertising material. The client hereby gives consent to use such photographs and authorizes the Company to retain copyright for these photographs and such material.
FORCE MAJEURE
In unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to war, mechanical breakdowns, weather, riots, and other unforeseen reasons beyond the control of the Company, may cause delays or alterations to the tour. The Company shall not be held liable in any way for any of these possible occurrences or any consequences, which may arise as a result of these.
PRICE CHANGES:
All our prices are based on the current national park fees and taxes. Should the authorities decide on increasing fees and taxes, even though they might currently not be scheduled, we would subsequently have to pass on these increases.
