Insurance
Insurance is not included in the tour cost, but Chongwen Safaris can assist you in insuring yourself comprehensively for the full duration of your tour. Passengers are strongly advised to have full travel insurance.

Itinerary changes
Please note that small changes to the itinerary may be necessary spontaneously during the trip due to weather conditions or long queues at certain sightseeing places.
Please always follow the instructions of your tour guide. If travelling in a group, we will agree on meeting points and times. If you fail to arrive on time at the destination agreed with your tour guide and miss your flight/train/bus you will have to pay yourself for transport tickets to follow the group later. If needed, you will also have to pay for transport tickets for the tour guide that might have to accompany you. However, we will try our best to book you a new connection for you at the lowest cost.

Accommodation
Our standard room allocation is a twin or double room. Single rooms can be arranged for a surcharge.
