Brochure Entries

Brochure Entries
We make every effort to ensure our brochure entries are as accurate as possible. However, it needs to be pointed out that some of the ground arrangements for our tours are made at least 18 months prior to departure. Inevitably there are occasions when changing circumstances require us to alter published itineraries and hotel bookings. Normally we are able to advise clients of such changes before departure. Similarly, weather patterns in many parts of the world are not wholly predictable and it is virtually impossible to accurately predict the temperatures you will encounter while on tour. Thus it is necessary for there to be a degree of flexibility in our programmes that allows some freedom to do what is best in the particular circumstances. The chances of seeing certain species may also be affected by the vagaries of the weather. It is unlikely that a group will see all the species mentioned in the brochure text. We accept bookings on the understanding that these points are fully understood.

Sharing Rooms
Many of our clients prefer to book places on a sharing basis, in the interests of both company and economy. However, please note that your booking for a shared room is only accepted on the understanding that, should no room-mate be available, you will accept single accommodation and pay the appropriate single-room supplement. Allocation of room-mates will be made on the basis of the date on which bookings are received. Therefore, the earlier you book the greater the likelihood of being able to share.

 

Single Rooms
Many of our clients require single rooms on tours. The single rooms, which we advertise are occasionally not always available in the quantity we need when the tour is run. If you have booked and paid for a single room and it is not available, then a pro rata refund will be made to you post-tour for any nights of such accommodation lost. It should be noted that very occasionally the standard and location of single rooms can be inferior to those of some twin/double rooms.

 

Hotels
We try to choose hotels that are comfortable, friendly, efficient and well situated. All rooms have a private bath or shower and W.C. unless otherwise stated in the text for a specific tour. Please see the accommodation grading for each tour.

 

Insurance
The cover that is shown in this brochure may be purchased, if you require it, when booking your holiday with us. It is a prerequisite of joining any tour that you have sufficient insurance cover in case of illness or repatriation.

 

Smoking
If you wish to smoke while on holiday, then please refrain from smoking in the coaches and minibuses, as well as when close to the group in the field. Please do not smoke at the table while the group is eating. Also please note that smoking in public places and hotel rooms is now forbidden in some of the countries we visit.
