at Resort / camp. The activities are adjusted to the season
and weather conditions. Naturally, it may not always be possible
to follow this schedule to the minute and the circumstances
may force us to alter the program at short notice. On safari
in the jungle you will be accompanied by expert naturalists
who will advise on safety procedures and we request you to
respect their judgment at all times. If you wish to stroll
in the forest alone, a guide will have to accompany you for
your safety. O/N in Kathmandu (B)
