Programa del tour

Día 1

Antananarivo

Bienvenido a Antananarivo, la capital y mayor ciudad de la hermosa nación insular de Madagascar. Madagascar, la cuarta isla más grande del mundo, se asienta como una joya en la corona del océano Índico, frente a la costa de Mozambique. Antananarivo es una ciudad muy extendida y se divide en ciudad alta, media y baja, conocida por su lago en forma de corazón rodeado de jacarandas en medio del centro de la ciudad.


Serás recibido a tu llegada y trasladado a tu hotel. No queremos que te pierdas ningún aspecto de tu visita en grupo reducido. Para asegurarnos de que no lo hagas, te recomendamos que llegues a Madagascar antes de las 16:00.


Esta tarde conocerás a nuestro guía local en una cena de bienvenida.

­ 

You agree that the deductions and cancellation charges specified above are reasonable, represent a genuine pre-estimate of our loss and are required to protect our legitimate business interests. For group departures, a transfer of a confirmed booking to another departure date at your request is deemed to be cancellation of the original booking.

­ 

ILLNESS OR VACCINATION STATUS PREVENTING TRAVEL  

If due to any illness, suspected illness or failure to satisfy any required tests (such as a PCR or rapid antigen test in relation to Covid-19) or country specific vaccination requirements: 

­ 

an airline or other common carrier refuses you carriage;

a hotel or vessel refuses to accommodate you; or

we or our suppliers (acting reasonably) exclude you from the trip

and you are consequently prevented from commencing or continuing your trip, then:

­ 

if you have already commenced your trip, we will provide you with reasonable assistance to arrange alternative travel arrangements or to continue the trip. This will be at your cost.

if you have not commenced your trip then we regret we will not be in a position to provide such assistance.

We will not be liable to refund the cost of your trip (or any part of it) because we would have already paid (or committed to pay) suppliers and we would have already performed significant work preparing for the delivery of your trip and servicing your booking. 

­ 

We will not be responsible for any other loss or loss you incur in connection with your booking (for example, airfares and visa expenses) if you are prevented from commencing or continuing your trip in these circumstances.

­ 

CANCELLATIONS OR RESCHEDULING BY US

In these Booking Conditions, the term Force Majeure means an event or events beyond our control and which we could not have reasonably prevented, and includes but is not limited to: (a) natural disasters (including not limited to flooding, fire, earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption), adverse weather conditions (including hurricane or cyclone), high or low water levels; (b) war, armed conflict, industrial dispute, civil strife, terrorist activity or the threat of such acts; epidemic, pandemic; (d) any new or change in law, order, decree, rule or regulation of any government authority (including travel advisories and restrictions).

­ 

Force Majeure – Prior to travel

­ 

If in our reasonable opinion we (either directly or through our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents) consider that your travel arrangements cannot safely or lawfully proceed due to a Force Majeure Event then we at our discretion may elect to:

­ 

reschedule your travel arrangements (in whole or in part); and/or

cancel your travel arrangements (in whole or in part), in which case our contract with you will terminate (in whole or in part).

If we cancel any of your travel arrangements, neither of us will have any claim for damages against the other for the cancelled arrangements. However, we will refund payments attributable to the cancelled travel arrangements less: (a) unrecoverable third party costs and other expenses incurred by us for the cancelled travel arrangements; (b) overhead charges incurred by us relative to the price of the cancelled travel arrangements; and (c) fair compensation for work undertaken by us in relation to the cancelled travel arrangements until the time of cancellation and in connection with the processing of any refund.

­ 

Force Majeure – During travel

­ 

If due to Force Majeure we cancel travel arrangements after your trip has commenced, we will provide you with a refund of recoverable third party costs for cancelled travel arrangements only.

­ 

Force Majeure – General

­ 

If we provide you with any alternative services or assistance where travel arrangements are cancelled or rescheduled due to Force Majeure, then you agree the amount to be refunded to you will be reduced by the value of these services and assistance.

­ 

You acknowledge that the terms in this section are reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate business interests. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance that adequately responds to cancellation and rescheduling risks associated with Force Majeure events.

­ 

Other cancellations

­ 

If we cancel your travel arrangements for reasons other than Force Majeure, you will be offered (at your election) a refund of all funds paid, or the offer of a trip of substantially equal quality if appropriate.

­ 

We will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur if your travel arrangements are rescheduled or cancelled whether or not due to Force Majeure.

­ 

AMENDMENTS BY YOU

We will endeavour to accommodate amendments and additional requests. You acknowledge that these may not be possible to fulfil, and for group departures a transfer of a booking to a different departure is deemed a cancellation. An amendment fee of $250.00 per booking will be levied to cover communication and administration costs for any changes to bookings. You will also be required to pay any additional costs charged by suppliers.

­ 

AMENDMENTS BY US

Prior to travel

­ 

Occasionally, we may need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this. If we become aware of a significant change to your itinerary or its inclusions prior to the commencement of your trip (where the trip can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time.

­ 

During travel

­ 

You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the trip’s inclusions may need to change during your trip due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including road conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, and/or vehicle breakdowns. You agree that we have the right to pass on any costs we incur for alternative arrangements we put in place for your benefit in these circumstances.

­ 

General

­ 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible for any omissions or modifications to the itinerary or the inclusions due to Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond our control happening after we have accepted your booking. This includes any loss of enjoyment or distress caused by omissions or modifications.

­ 

If you are entitled to any compensation for any modifications or omissions, then you agree it will be reduced by the value of any alternative services we provide which you accept. 

­ 

We will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from any amendment or change to the itinerary or its inclusions. 

­ 

UNUSED & DENIED SERVICES

No refunds will be made for any travel arrangements not utilised, whether by choice or because of late arrival or early departure. This includes the failure of transport to operate according to schedule, which we disclaim responsibility for.

­ 

If you are not fully and validly vaccinated against Covid-19 in the destination(s) where services are to be provided, and particular suppliers refuse to provide you with travel arrangements, then you agree you will not be entitled to any refund for those arrangements. We will not be responsible to you for any loss or expenses you incur (including loss of enjoyment or the costs of alternative arrangements) if you are denied services in these circumstances.

­ 

CLIENT NAMES – EXACTLY AS PER PASSPORT

For security reasons, airlines and our overseas suppliers require names to be given exactly as stated in your passport. If you do not advise the correct information and we have to re-issue airline tickets or other documentation, then you will be responsible for any fees charged (such as airline cancellation charges or re-issue fees) in addition to our own reasonable administration fees.

­ 

TRAVEL INSURANCE

It is a condition of your booking that you are adequately insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. This is because cancellation fees and charges are payable from that time.

­ 

ACCOMMODATION

We reserve the right to substitute hotels, vessels and other forms of accommodation with properties or vessels of a comparable or higher standard.

­ 

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Special dietary requests are required to be notified to us at the time of booking. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee requests will be met by suppliers. It is your responsibility to check that meals and beverages do not contain any allergens. We expressly disclaim any liability for meals or beverages that contain allergens.

­ 

PASSPORTS, VISAS

It is a requirement that you hold a valid passport and any required visas for your trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the necessary documentation to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries to be visited.

­ 

AUTHORITY ON TOUR

FITNESS TO TRAVEL DECLARATION

At Bunnik Tours, we pride ourselves on our ability to create unique, once in a lifetime small group tours that are filled with incredible experiences you might not be able to have on your own, or in a larger group. However, that does mean aspects of our itineraries can be challenging for some travellers.

­ 

We want to make sure all Bunnik Tours travellers enjoy their trip, not struggle through it, so let’s work together to ensure you’re on the right tour for your fitness level.

­ 

A Bunnik Tour is for independently minded travellers with good levels of mobility. Designed for the not too young and not too old, we don’t put specific age limits on our tours but we do impose a firm policy on the level of fitness required by all our clients. This is to ensure your safety, and the safety of other travellers. Because of this, we reserve the right to refuse bookings if we feel that the requirements of the tour are too demanding.

­ 

Fitness to Travel Requirements

­ 

Within seven days of your booking, you will need to complete a Passenger Registration form, which also includes a fitness to travel declaration.

­ 

In this declaration, you must confirm you’re able to do the following:

­ 

Walk for a minimum of 2-3 hours daily, on uneven surfaces without the use of any walking aid at a group pace (often in humid forest areas in Africa and South & Central America)

Regularly walk up multiple flights of stairs and short, steep hills

Stand for extended periods of time without needing to sit down, including in hot/humid climates

Carry your own luggage

Get on and off various modes of transport without assistance, including small boats

Drive along very bumpy, dirt and gravel roads for extended period of time, particularly in Africa

Manage extended periods of time at high altitude (3,000-4,000 metres) when travelling in Africa and South & Central America.

It is also important to note there can be limited medical facilities in remote areas.

­ 

While we will still confirm your place on your tour, flight tickets cannot be issued until the Passenger Registration form has been received. Additional costs may be incurred if completed forms are not received by Bunnik Tours within these time frames.

­ 

If you do not feel that you can confidently manage all of the requirements set out above, please work with our team of Travel Specialists to find an alternative that is better suited to your current level of fitness.

­ 

Travelling With a Medical Condition

­ 

Passengers must inform us and the service provider of any medical conditions which may affect your ability to participate in the tour.

­ 

At our discretion we, including the service provider, can exclude you from a tour or in any activity if we consider that you are unable to safely participate in that tour or activity or if we consider your participation may place the safety of other guests at risk. 

­ 

We reserve the right to cancel your booking if any changed or non-disclosed medical conditions mean that you will require special assistance from our personnel which we cannot reasonably provide. We strongly suggest that your travel insurance policy includes comprehensive cancellation coverage.

­ 

We will not be liable for any damage, injury, death or loss of any kind arising from your failure to fully disclose relevant medical information or resulting from any pre-existing medical condition.
