All trips operated by Taratibu Adventure Africa provide clients with a detailed itinerary describing the different destinations and experiences included. The safari services agreed upon with the client will be provided, except in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as road closures, adverse weather, operational difficulties, or security considerations. In such cases, the itinerary may be adjusted at the discretion of the company. Clients will be informed and alternative arrangements of equal quality and character will be made where possible.
Clients must understand that conditions in Tanzania/Africa differ from those in developed countries. Sudden changes in government-regulated fees or taxes such as park fees may occur without notice. Taratibu Adventure Africa reserves the right to pass these changes on to clients.
