Welcome to Enchanting Journeys

Early Reservations are recommended. All Services are strictly on a ‘request’ basis, both for Air & Land and subject to availability of Seats & Rooms at the Hotel / Lodge / Camp. In the event of Services requested not being available, alternative Services will be offered. If alternative Services are not acceptable, your initial Deposit amount will be refunded in full. Some Suppliers may require higher Deposit for specific Dates / Properties & the same will be advised to you prior or at the time of Booking. Please be aware that all Airfares mandate instant purchase to lock in the Price & consequently, full payment for the Airfare will be required at the time of Booking. Specific or special Conditions, if any, will be mentioned in your personalised Proposal accordingly.

Accommodations is on Twin Occupancy basis in a Room, provided at the Hotels / Lodges / Camps as specified or similar. Single Room Supplements apply to persons occupying sole use of the Room but travelling with other Passengers on the same Safari or Holiday & sharing cost of Transfers, Game Dives, Sightseeing & Excursions.

Single Room does not necessarily mean Single occupancy of a Double Room, as some of the Hotels / Lodges / Camps have specially designed Single Occupancy Units. Though, The Journeys will make all possible efforts to accommodate all Requests, due to limited accommodation, Single Rooms may not be available, in certain places.

A Single individual requesting sole use of Hotel Room & exclusive private use of all Services, including ground transportation for Transfers, Game Drives, Guided Sightseeing & Excursions, may request a special Single Rate.

Requests for Upgrading the Rooms are subject to additional charges. Handicapped or non-smoking Rooms are always on a request basis, subject to availability at no extra cost. All Hotel Taxes & Service charges & Government Taxes are included in the Tour Price. Some Cities have commenced applying a Hotel Tax, which cannot be added to the Invoice & has to be paid every night, directly. In those cases, Guests have to pay directly (details & amount will be mentioned in the Proposal or Itinerary).

The Journeys reserve the right to substitute Hotels should conditions warrant such change for reasons beyond our control. Rooms are assigned by the respective Supplier(s) as on a run-of-the-house basis, in category(s) as specified in the Itinerary. YOU acknowledge & accept that Hotels, in accordance with international standards, request that occupants Check-in between 02.00 - 03.00 pm & Check-out by 12.00 noon, on the scheduled day of departure or the day immediately preceding a late night departure.
