Changes:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, GoPhilanthropic may need to make adjustments to your travel itinerary which could alter the final price or design of your program. While we make all of your arrangements in good faith, unforeseen circumstances may make it necessary to change hotels, transportation or tour arrangements before or during your trip. We reserve the right to make itinerary and price changes as deemed necessary. As none of the accommodation, transportation and tour guide providers is owned by GoPhilanthropic, we cannot be held responsible for such circumstances and will pass any additional cost (or savings) on to the traveler.

Hotel Check in/ Checkout:

Hotel check out time is usually 12:00 PM. Extended check in - check out time may be granted subject to availability and agreement by the participating hotels.

Hotel and Service Ratings:

Please note that while GoPhilanthropic is obliged to list accommodation and service providers' official ratings—usually star ratings, we recognize that there can be a vast difference in the quality of services or accommodations with the same rating. GoPhilanthropic offers an honest assessment the quality of each element in your travel itinerary while designing and reviewing tour travel plans so you won't have to wonder which 4 or 5 star hotel is best for you.

Visas/ Passports and other Travel documents:

Be sure your passport is not close to expiring as some countries refuse valid passports soon to expire. While GoPhilanthropic will be glad to assist you with visa requirements, it is the travelers' responsibility to ensure that they have valid passports and visas, where necessary. Please note that GoPhilanthropic cannot be held responsible for information on visa regulations, or in the case where passports or visas are not obtained or accepted by local authorities.

Baggage:

Prices include two pieces of baggage per person. Weight and size restrictions apply on internal flights. Travelers bring baggage and personal effects at their own risk. Check with the airline for other baggage restrictions applicable to international flights. GoPhilanthropic is not responsible for costs incurred due to excess baggage. The transportation providers are responsible for the handling (damage or loss) of your baggage.

Air Transportation:

GoPhilanthropic does not book airfare to and from the travel destination. Once the traveler confirms the travel itinerary, he/she is responsible to ensure correct arrival and departure dates/times. GoPhilanthropic will not be responsible for mistakes or errors in airfare bookings made by independent third parties. Change fees and/or airfare penalties may apply for travelers who miss flights in the itinerary.

Air transportation can be affected by weather, schedule delays or cancellation which can affect the design of your itinerary (see Changes above).

Limits of Liability:

It purchases transportation (by aircraft, coach, train, vessel or otherwise), hotel and other lodging accommodations, restaurant, ground handling and other services from various independent suppliers. All such persons and entities are independent contractors. As a result GoPhilanthropic is not liable for any negligent or willful act of any such person or entity or of any third person. In addition and without limitation, GoPhilanthropic is not responsible for any injury, loss, death, inconvenience, delay or damage to personal property in connection with the provision of any goods or services whether resulting from but not limited to acts of God, Force Majeure, illness, disease, acts of war, civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food poisoning, mechanical or other failure of aircraft or other means of transportation or for failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart on time.

Risks:

There are certain inherent risks in adventure travel of the type involved here. These include, but are not limited to, hiking, walking safaris, climbing injuries and altitude sickness, and in all trips dangers of animals, inaccessibility to medical attention and difficulty in evacuation from remote locations in the case of a medical emergency. Passenger assumes all such risks with regard to these possibilities and is hereby given notice that hospital and/or health facilities/personnel for treatment of serious medical problems are often unavailable, and further that evacuation, if available, can be prolonged, difficult, and expensive. We assume no liability regarding provision of medical care or evacuation services and hereby provide notice that any of our staff or subcontractors who may provide emergency medical care in the field may not have had formal medical or first-aid training and would be acting only as a "good Samaritan."

Travel Insurance:

We strongly recommend taking the following precautions when booking your travel arrangements:

Take a comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover your trip. Such insurance cover should provide sufficient coverage against unexpected cancellation charges, journey delays, medical costs that might be incurred while traveling overseas, loss of money, or belongings, or personal liability claims. In the event of a claim for loss or damages, in the first instance Client and/or Agent should make such claim through the Insurance provider.

When booking your airfare to and from the destination, we suggest booking changeable or refundable tickets in case of unforeseen changes in the itinerary.
