ITINERARY CHANGES AND TRIP DELAY
SerendipityNtravel Safaris reserves the right to change a program’s dates, itinerary, or accommodations as conditions warrant. These are expeditions and safaris to remote parts of Kenya and we reserve the right to change the itinerary due to weather conditions, lodge availability, political conditions, and other factors beyond our control without consulting the participants.
It is understood that such decisions will be made in the best interests of all participants and with regards to the safety of all staff. Participants have no right to any refund or other considerations in the event of these inevitable itinerary changes. If an expedition or safari must be delayed, or the itinerary changed due to bad weather, road conditions, transportation delays, government intervention, sickness or other contingency for which SerendipityNtravel Safaris or its agents cannot make provision, the cost of delays or changes is not included.
ITINERARY CANCELLATIONS
SerendipityNtravel Safaris is not responsible for any expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for the trip, including non-refundable or penalty-carrying airline tickets, special clothing, visa or passport fees, change in entry requirements to any country, or other trip related expenses.

LIMITATIONS AND LIABILITY
serendipityNtravel Safaris, its owners, agents and employees give notice that they act only as the agents for the owners, contractors and suppliers providing means of transportation and/or all other related travel services and assume no responsibility howsoever caused for injury, loss or damage to person or property in connection with any service resulting directly from: acts of God, detention, annoyance, delays, expenses arising from quarantine, strikes, thefts, pilferage, force majeure, failure of any means of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, civil disturbances, terrorism, government restrictions or regulations and discrepancies or changes in transit or hotel services over which it has no control.

SerendipityNtravel Safaris strongly advises that participants ensure that such eventualities are covered by travel insurance. If not covered by travel insurance the responsibility still remains with the passenger and SerendipityNtravel Safaris specifically declines any responsibility whatsoever.
