1. Published prices may change without notice in case of unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
2. Prices are valid until 31 December 2009. Prices for 2010 will be published at a later date.
3. Prices are based on indicative exchange rates with the US dollar in June 2008: 1.97 US dollars to the £ sterling and 1.26 US dollars to the euro. For payments in £ sterling and euro the dollar shall be converted at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of payment.
4. Prices include transport and a driver/guide for the itinerary agreed, accommodation on a shared basis and meals stated (in Kampala, Entebbe and Kigali bed and breakfast only and on safari full board) and, where appropriate, boat trips, park fees, chimpanzee permits and one gorilla permit. At Volcanoes lodges (Bwindi, Mount Gahinga, Kyambura and Virunga), the tariffs are on an all inclusive basis and in addition to accommodation and meals, include unlimited consumption of all alcoholic and soft drinks; laundry services; and any activities clients wish to do around the lodges. A complimentary massage is also offered.
5. Prices exclude airfares to Uganda/Rwanda, entry visas, airport taxes and gratuities as well as personal expenditure such as drinks and laundry at non-Volcanoes Lodges.
6. All gorilla permits need to be purchased at the time of booking or a deposit equivalent to 20% of the cost of the safari paid, whichever is higher. Gorilla viewing is subject to availability of permits, which are limited; any additional gorilla permits required should be purchased when booking. Gorilla permit prices are subject to change without warning.
7. From the safari price paid by clients Volcanoes contributes $100 per client which will be transferred to the Volcanoes Partnership Trust, a separate non-profit organisation which undertakes community and conservation activities.
8. Volcanoes prices are all-inclusive so that, as far as possible, all costs for an agreed safari itinerary are fully covered rather than charging a low initial price for basic activities and then charge for extra services later or other unforeseen factors. Clients’ only extra expenditure is for personal items or items such as alcohol at non-Volcanoes lodges or gratuities. Our prices may therefore appear higher than other companies but they are all-inclusive, include more activities, are more flexible and have the safety of international back-up and insurance cover.
9. Prices for gorilla safaris re based on clients staying at Volcanoes properties. Separate quotes are available, on request, for clients wishing to stay at other properties.
