In order to keep our tour rates as low as possible, we do not build into the price an allowance to cover possible increases from currency fluctuations. Therefore, as currencies do fluctuate constantly around the world, it may be necessary for us to raise the tour cost, at any time before final payment, if there are exceptional cost increases beyond our control. An increase in the tour price shall not be sufficient grounds for any refund of fees already paid for the tour.

Any increase in government taxes affecting costs included in the tour price will be passed through and paid for by the traveler. Any increase in the tour price due to a government tax rate hike shall not be sufficient grounds for any refund of fees already paid for the tour.

Although every effort is made to adhere to schedules, it should be noted that the tour operators in developing countries may be obliged to occasionally change routes and camps on tours as dictated by changing conditions. Seasonal rainfall, bush fires or other natural occurrences may bring about such conditions. Airlines, aircraft specific flights and other transfers may also need to be changed for various reasons. Kosen Safaris, Diceros Consulting LLC and/or Rhino Mercy shall not be held responsible for such itinerary changes as discussed above and shall not be held liable for any refund, provided such changes are beyond the control of Kosen Safaris, Diceros Consulting LLC and/or Rhino Mercy.

While we and our operators use our best endeavors to ensure that all reserved accommodation is available as planned, Kosen Safaris, Diceros Consulting LLC and/or Rhino Mercy shall not be held responsible for a refund either in the whole or part, if any accommodation or excursion is unavailable and a reasonable alternative, acceptable to the guest, is found. If the guest is unable to use any service provided in the itinerary, then there are no refunds due.

For safety and because space is restricted, baggage in the charter aircrafts commonly used to transport guests to and from remote locations is restricted to a maximum of 20 kg per person in a soft bag. This includes camera equipment and carry-on baggage. Should guests arrive with excess baggage without prior warning, their baggage could be delayed, as our operators may then have to fly the baggage into camps at a later stage at considerable extra cost to the guest. However, should the guests know in advance that their baggage will exceed the limit; we can usually make arrangements to book an extra seat for the bags on the aircraft, at an additional cost.

Please be aware that our tours may take you into close contact with wild animals. Attacks by wild animals are rare, but no tour into the wilderness can guarantee that this will not occur.

Please note that the majority of the tour camps are not fenced and that wildlife do move freely in and around the camps. Always follow the safety instructions from the camp's staff with regards to moving to and from your chalet and while on game activities throughout your tour.

The onus is upon the guest to ensure that passports and visas are valid for the countries they plan to visit.
