Ground Transportation
except where road conditions are very rugged, we use
minibuses for our Kenya Uganda and Tanzania safari
tours. These vehicles are custom built and have good
ground clearance making them particularly suitable for
safari work. On the rough roads and long journeys these
vehicles provide a degree of comfort superior to other
safari vehicles. Additionally, their sliding windows and
roomy photographic roof hatches make them ideal for
photographic purposes. The standard minibus is licensed
to carry a maximum of nine passengers; however we
recommend that wherever possible, arrangements should be
limited to a maximum of 7 clients per vehicle as this
will allow each client a window seat and easy access to
the observation hatch. (For seating arrangements please
see below)
Safari Driver / Guides
Our English
speaking safari driver / guides are familiar with routes
and local conditions. They have an excellent knowledge
of wildlife, local people and other local attractions.
They are expert game spotters. The safari Driver /
Guides are vital to the success of any tour and
therefore African Safaris Destinations have gone to
great lengths to put
Together an unbeatable team, who are dedicated to
providing a helpful, attentive and knowledgeable service
to your clients. Some Driver / Guides speak an
additional foreign language such as; Hebrew, French,
German, Spanish, Italian and a little Japanese. Every
attempt will be made to provide such Driver / Guides
when specially requested. Local Couriers / Tour Escorts.
Some of our more specialized tours include the services
of a local courier, in addition to the services of the
Driver /
Guides. These couriers have been carefully selected.
Their life in Africa has provided them with immense
knowledge of local conditions, customs and people. They
really know and love the bush and their own enthusiasm
and avid interest will ensure your clients gain maximum
benefit from these specialized tours.
There are free-lance couriers in East Africa that can be
arranged for tours requiring the services of an expert
in a particular field, such as, Botany, zoology,
ornithology, photography, marine biology, archaeology,
anthropology, geology etc. However, these people are
much in demand and therefore bookings should be made as
far in advance as possible.
Tour
Leaders
Bona-fide tour leaders accompanying a group of 15 or
more full paying adult tour participants are entitled to
free land cost (except park fees). Tour Leaders should
be warned that hotels do not normally allocate the
superior rooms to free
Tour leaders.
Baggage and Insurance
Asso tours Adventures and safaris highly recommends
clients arrange their own cover for damage or loss of
baggage, plus
general travel insurance to cover cancellation charges
and medical expenses.
Children
All hotels, lodges, and national parks offer a reduction
for children under 12 years of age provided they occupy
a third bed in a twin room. Children under 7 years are
not permitted to The Ark, Mountain Lodge and Treetops.
Children under 5 years are not permitted to Salt Lick
Lodge. Children under 12 are not permitted in the dining
room / bar of Mt. Kenya Safari Club after 7 p.m.
Christmas, New Year And Easter
Most hotels and lodges in East Africa charge a
supplement over the above periods, for this they provide
special festive meals and sometimes gifts for all
clients as well as some special entertainment. However,
evening entertainment in the game lodges and camps is
rare, as noise is likely to scare away the wildlife.

Some of the Ancillary Services for Your
Clients
Briefing
should your clients require a special briefing one
of our senior management staff could provide one. This
may give your clients a chance to ask any questions they
may have regarding local customs and conditions. This
would
normally take place on the first night in the Nairobi
hotel.
Cocktail Parties and Gala Dinners
we will be pleased to arrange and quote for these
functions. Gala Dinners
can be done on arrival or departure in Nairobi. Black
tie dinners, cocktail parties, sundowners and bush
banquets can be arranged in some very exciting places in
the African bush for incentives or special groups.
Hospitality Desk
we are pleased to set and quote for this service at your
group's hotels.
This service is normally required only for large groups.
Fore-runner
For large incentive groups we normally send a vehicle
and rep or manager one day ahead of the group's
itinerary. This means he or she can arrange the rooms,
reserve the tables and generally ensure the smooth
running of the tour. In certain cases the agent assigns
one tour leader to travel with the forerunner.
Flowers, Fruit, Champagne and
Anniversaries
We will be pleased to quote to you the price to have
flowers or a fruit basket in your clients' rooms on
arrival - with your compliments. We would like to point
out that real champagne is difficult to obtain and the
cost is prohibitively
high and thus we do not recommend this as a welcome
gift. Sparkling wine is available more easily and
cheaply if this is what you want. We have a list of
unique safari gifts available, if this is of interest to
you please request it. Special birthday / anniversary
cakes are available at all hotels and lodges, if advance
notice is given |
