CONTINUED <br /><br /> Note:<br />• Routes Kilimanjaro is working hard to make sure key 3rd party partners align themselves with this commitment. In the unlikely event that they do not wish to participate then that cost or a proportion of it would have to be deducted from any refund or, in the case of a delayed journey, it would be added (annual % rise). In each case we would discuss this with trade partners before enforcing and make every attempt to limit this to zero.<br />As of today, in both Kenya and Tanzania, the health risk situation is as it was before Ebola surfaced with perhaps the added benefit that we and the medical community are all sharper for it. All our staff and partners are 100% comfortable that the virus, as it stands, is no reason not to visit east Africa and that if your client’s do they will be assured of an even warmer African greeting, if that is even possible.<br />Thank you for your support thus far and a firm commitment that you have ours as together we work our way through these unprecedented times.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Routes Kilimanjaro Adventures.<br />Routes Kilimanjarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488100365605294064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265987689760453703.post-89058233556460404282014-10-23T22:48:25.060-07:002014-10-23T22:48:25.060-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Routes Kilimanjarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488100365605294064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265987689760453703.post-62591225176313909462014-10-23T22:47:49.490-07:002014-10-23T22:47:49.490-07:00 EBOLA C... EBOLA CONTINUED<br />We seek to do this through transparent and regular (when required) communications and presentation of excellent value so that price at least cannot be a reason not to visit the region (please see Routes Kilimanjaro Special offers). Additionally, we will be adjusting our cancellation policy for travel with Routes Kilimanjaro in the event that there is an outbreak (as defined by WHO*) of the Ebola Virus in Kenya or Tanzania. This will be as follows:<br />Routes Kilimanjaro will guarantee that all cancellation charges that relate to Routes Kilimanjaro Adventures product and other 1st party services will be waived up until 24 hours before arrival except for the 3rd part products. This will be applicable to all existing and future bookings.<br />There are 3 possible options for maximum flexibility and coverage of that financial risk:<br />1. Guests with travel insurance should claim first and provide all documentation to Routes Kilimanjaro who will refund the difference between safari cost and claim payment less the international transfer costs <br />2. Alternatively guests will have the option should the Ebola Virus reach our region to move the safari to a future period (before December 2016) without financial penalty to agent or traveller**. You can be<br />assured of our usual and increased flexibility where possible to make things work for those that do wish to travel.<br />3. Guests purchase comprehensive insurance allowing the cancelation of travel for any reason.<br /> CONTINUING Routes Kilimanjarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488100365605294064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265987689760453703.post-85040153211920514172014-10-23T22:45:12.217-07:002014-10-23T22:45:12.217-07:00TRAVEL TO EAST AFRICA AND THE (Lack of) EBOLA VIRU...TRAVEL TO EAST AFRICA AND THE (Lack of) EBOLA VIRUS <br />Like many of our partners in East & Southern Africa we are feeling the effects from the global fear of travel both to Africa but also elsewhere. There is little doubt that our regions have been more greatly affected and as such we wish to articulate our position on this issue.<br />At this time there are no confirmed cases of Ebola in any of our operating countries(Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda) and, in addition to that, we remain further from the ‘hot zone’ than many of our potential guest’s homes with many more borders to cross. The major regional airline, Kenya Airways, suspended all flights to / from West-Africa back in August at the request of the Kenyan Ministry of Health, and entry has been suspended for passengers travelling from and through Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone (excluding health professionals. Both Kenya and Tanzania have taken increased observation action at international airports which have been tested (with what turned out to be non-Ebola related medical emergencies). <br />Despite the good news this week from Nigeria, the first country bordering the troubled region to have effectively eradicated the virus, and from WHO that the disease will be cured 100% in next three weeks to come, we remain determined and alert to the potential risk. We recognise its serious nature and the reasons that, thanks mainly to poor reporting, the travelling public has become cautious about leaving home. We know that the virus will be defeated but see it as a priority to assist where we can to ensure this does not decimate a travel industry and the associated conservation work, jobs and livelihoods through supporting our partners selling to the concerned public around the globe. We all have too much invested to underestimate the challenge we collectively face. <br />Routes Kilimanjarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488100365605294064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265987689760453703.post-44944588674506746122014-10-16T08:17:23.881-07:002014-10-16T08:17:23.881-07:00The Wildebeest migration is now around the Kogaten...The Wildebeest migration is now around the Kogatende and Mara plains roaming around the two famous reserves Kenyan Maasai Mara and Serengeti in Tanzania.<br />Follow us to search for the Serengeti migration.
