For all trips where JOURNEYS represents Peregrine Adventures, please note that the hotels are of moderate standing. This means that they are usually three-star hotels without any "frills." All hotels have private facilities, but not the boutique-style facilities that we use for many of our other trips.

A second deposit of $800 per person is due four months prior to departure, and final payment for land arrangements is due 60 days prior to departure. Airlines require full payment when tickets are issued. The deposit may be made by Visa, Master Card or check, and the Reservation Form may be submitted by fax, mail or via our website. Full payment schedule is described in our Terms and Conditions as noted in our Global Expedition Catalog, on our website and elsewhere. Please request this if you do not have it before advancing a deposit.

Cancellation Policy: As JOURNEYS is acting as an agent for Peregrine Adventures, their cancellation policy, and not that of JOURNEYS, applies to this trip.  Cancellation more than 56 days before departure will result in a loss of deposit.  Cancellation between 56 and 30 days will result in a loss of 50% of land cost. Cancellations within 30 days of departure will result in a loss of 100% of the land cost, as well as any applicable airline penalties.

If you do not pay the balance of your total booking cost within 60 days of departure your booking may be terminated and you will lose your deposit. Additional cancellation penalties may apply. No refunds will be made if you leave a trip for any reason after the trip has begun. No refunds will be made for any accommodation, transport, sightseeing, meals or services not utilized.

If you wish to change your booking in any way, the following fees will apply:
1. Transfer from one tour to another - Amendment request received 56 days or more prior to the original tour departure date: $100 per person per trip will be levied and must be paid prior to any transfer being confirmed. Amendment requests received within 56 days prior to the original tour departure date: charges will apply as per cancellation fees.
2. Amendments to your booking, in relation to any other arrangements made in conjunction with your tour (e.g. pre- and post tour accommodation, transfers, etc), received within 56 days prior to tour departure date will be subject to a $50 administration fee per change. This fee is in addition to any charges levied by ground operators, hotels or airlines.
3. No amendments are permitted to your booking within 10 days of departure.

Force Majeure: We will not be liable for any delay in, change to or cancellation of trips due to ‘Force Majeure’. ‘Force Majeure’ means a circumstance beyond the reasonable control of Peregrine and includes, but is not limited to, war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, disease, industrial or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and strikes.

Insurance: TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH PROTECTION FOR AT LEAST $75,000 EMERGENCY MEDICAL EVACUATION PLUS $75,000 MEDICAL EXPENSES IS MANDATORY FOR THIS TRIP. Adequate coverage for death, repatriation and curtailment is also required. You will be asked to show proof of coverage upon your arrival. Obtaining medical insurance is the responsibility of the client. Although not required, we strongly recommend the purchase of cancellation insurance.

Air fares: JOURNEYS can make complete air arrangements applicable to your trip as noted in this itinerary. If you wish to redeem frequent flyer mileage or arrange flights directly with the airline, you may do so on your own at no penalty. If you do, please consult with us on exact arrival and departure dates and times before having your tickets issued to avoid errors.

Itinerary Change Fee: There will be a $75 fee for changes once an itinerary has been confirmed and approved. Additional cancellation penalties or change fees may apply as per our terms and conditions. The passenger is responsible for such fees.

Additional Notes: While traveling on a Peregrine trip, local hotel information is generally not provided other than the joining hotel at the starting point of your trip. Reason being as it is subject to change and if people pass the hotel information on to family and friends, it can cause stress and confusion if they call the hotel, as they may not speak English or the hotel may have changed en route.

Publicity:  You agree that Peregrine may use images of you taken during the trip without recourse to you and without compensation to you, for publicity and promotion purposes only through whatever medium it chooses.
 
Other group member's demographics including ages, nationality, etc., will not be provided to you as it is a breach of privacy.
