RISK ON SAFARI:

The client hereby indemnifies the company and will hold the Company, its agent, assigns, and servants harmless from any such claim.

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.
