Though our itineraries have been carefully crafted to optimize the travel and birding experience, unforeseen situations may cause changes in the original plan. In the event that published accommodations are not available, Exotic Birding LLC will do its utmost to arrange equivalent or best available accommodations in the same tour area. If any major changes in itinerary become necessary prior to departure, Exotic Birding LLC will inform participants and give them the option of withdrawing without penalty.
Minor alterations in itinerary may occur to take best advantage of birding opportunities at the time of the tour or because access to planned birding areas has been denied for any reason. Alterations might entail changing the sequence of events included on the itinerary or changing birding locations to take best advantage of conditions present at the time of the tour. Such changes are at the discretion of our expert guide and tour coordinator.
In the event that a scheduled guide or tour leader becomes unavailable for a tour, Exotic Birding LLC reserves the right to provide an alternate guide or leader of suitable qualifications. Should no suitable alternate be available, Exotic Birding LLC reserves the right to cancel the tour, in which case all payments will be fully refunded.
If unforeseen circumstances such as an airline strike, weather conditions, changing political conditions, etc., force a change in itinerary or abrupt end to the tour, any additional costs incurred as a result are the sole responsibility of participants. No refunds can be made in such cases. Participants are strongly advised to purchase travel insurance that would cover their losses under these circumstances.
