TOUR COST: Entire tour: $2545.00 • Single Supplement: $350.00

COST: of this trip, based on a minimum group size of four, is $2,545 If the final group is smaller than four participants, a small group supplement may be charged, or the trip will be canceled--this is the participants decision to make should it become necessary to do so.

COST INCLUDES: Accommodations based on two persons sharing a twin-bedded room. We select good quality hotels convenient to our birding or tour destinations. For single rooms a supplement will be charged. We try to supply roommates when possible, but we can’t always find one. If we can not find you a roommate, you will be charged the added cost of single accommodations. All transportation, this may be by private or chartered car, stations wagon, van or bus. Taxes, Tips & Local Fees. All necessary tips to local guides, drivers, etc., and local government taxes and park entry fees are included in the tour price, however, you may tip anyone you wish for special services

MEAL COSTS: ARE NOT included in the cost of this tour.

UNANTICIPATED COSTS: Rarely we have had unexpected costs. Cancellation of a flight has required staying in a hotel an extra night, hiring vehicles for extra birding excursions, and other services. A few times when all of the birds expected at an area were found more quickly than anticipated, the tour leader proposed shortening the visit to that location, adding flights to new destinations, etc. If such changes are proposed and accepted by participants, it is with the understanding that they accept the obligation to pay the extra unanticipated costs.

DATE OF COST QUOTATION: December 15, 2006 We can only quote current costs. Tour planning begins more than a year before the tour runs. While we try to arrive at the best estimates, we can’t predict fluctuation of currency exchange rates, increases in hotel or vehicle rates, etc. Therefore, we reserve the right to increase the tour cost when there are justifiable reasons. However, we make a sincere effort to arrive at the closest possible estimate and even absorb small increases at times to avoid raising tour costs. If there should be a cost increase of more than 10%, participants can cancel with no penalty and will be refunded all payments made.

REGISTRATION: A deposit of $400.00 and completed registration form are required to confirm space. Without these, no one is considered registered. Registrations are taken on a first-come first-served basis with priority based on the date received.

CANCELLATIONS: received in writing more that 120 days prior to departure will receive a full refund. To cover the work and expense of handling registrations and canceling them, $100.00 will be deducted from all deposits if we are notified in writing at least 90 days before departure date. Fees deducted for later cancellations are: 89 to 61 days before departure date your deposit plus any unrecoverable expenses; due to contractual obligations with our hotels, bus and van rentals, boat charters and other costs where we have contracted payment dates there can be no refunds for cancellations within 60 days prior to our departure. Airline tickets may be purchased upon receipt of your registration to insure your space with the group. Some of these tickets may be non-refundable, and as such those costs would be non-refundable to you should you have to cancel as well. In most cases you will be able to use the ticket toward the purchase of another ticket on the same airline (within one year in most cases) less any change fees. Some participants have lost substantial sums when illness or other circumstances prevented them from taking a tour. Therefore, we advise you to buy trip cancellation insurance which may reimburse the entire unrecovered amount if it is necessary for you to cancel. If you wish to purchase such insurance, write “Insurance” on the special needs portion of your registration form and we will send you a policy application.

UNUSED PORTIONS OF A TOUR: We can’t offer refunds for unused portions of a tour unless agreed to before the tour. If you fail to show up or meet the tour regardless of the reason, we are under no obligation to provide any refund. Trip cancellation insurance may reimburse losses if you must leave a tour early for illness or other valid reason.

COMPLETION OF PAYMENT Foreign travel agents, hotels, boat operators etc. require advance payment. Your cooperation helps avoid problems with your arrangements. For this tour we request final payment by January 1, 2006.
