Questions
Is the price per person?
Yes, per person, in US dollars, based on sharing. The more of you there are, the less each person pays, because the vehicle and guide are shared. The calculator on each trip page does the maths.
Is a river crossing guaranteed?
No, and nobody can honestly promise one. The herds decide. What we can do is give you more days at the river, which is the thing that helps most.
How do I pay?
A 30% deposit confirms the trip. The rest is due 60 days before you travel. Bank transfer or card.
Can I change my dates?
Yes, for free, until 60 days before departure. It depends on what is free that week, but we almost always find something.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Bush flights run on the weather. If yours is late, we shuffle the day or drive you instead, so you do not lose time in the park.
