Important remarks

  • The baggage allowance on domestic flights of most airlines in India is usually 15 kg per person, so lower than on international flights. Please take account of this when packing your bags.
  • Triple rooms in Africa are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
  • Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
  • It is mandatory to complete and sign a registration, compensation and liability waiver document before departure.

  • Luggage is limited to one large bag (sports bag or internal frame backpack) with a maximum weight of 20 kg and one small handheld bag or camera bag per person.
