Decisions made by the tour leader in relation to safety, logistics and group conduct are final.

8. Bespoke Tours

Bespoke tours are tailor-made and confirmed only once the final itinerary and price are agreed in writing.

Due to supplier commitments, bespoke tours may be partially or fully non-refundable.

Cancellation charges may be higher and may reach up to 100% of the package price.

9. Optional Excursions

Optional excursions do not form part of your package holiday.

They are contracted directly with third-party providers.

Any assistance provided by Moyolo Travel or its representatives is for convenience only and does not create any contractual liability.

We do not accept liability for the acts or omissions of these third-party providers.

10. Third-Party Suppliers

Services included in your package are provided by independent suppliers.

We remain responsible, in accordance with the Regulations, for the proper performance of the travel services included in your package.

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.

The full balance must be paid no later than 90 days before the departure date.

If full payment is not received by this deadline, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain the deposit.

We reserve the right to correct pricing errors. Where an error is identified, you will have the option to pay the correct price or receive a full refund.

  • Taxes or fees imposed by third parties

You will be entitled to a price reduction where these costs decrease.

13. Changes by You

All changes must be requested in writing by the Lead Passenger.

Amendments are subject to availability and may incur charges.

Where such circumstances occur during the trip, we may make necessary changes to the itinerary and will endeavour to minimise disruption.

Flights are not part of your package.

You are responsible for arranging your own flights and ensuring timely arrival at the tour start location.

We are not liable for missed services resulting from delayed or missed flights.

You are responsible for ensuring that all travellers meet passport, visa and health requirements.

Failure to do so does not entitle you to a refund.

20. Medical Conditions & Fitness

Our tours may involve walking, uneven terrain, and exposure to heat.

You must ensure that you are physically capable of participating.

Any medical conditions or special requirements must be disclosed at the time of booking.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel a booking where requirements cannot be safely accommodated.

If, in our reasonable opinion, a traveller is unable to safely participate in the tour due to medical, physical or other reasons, we reserve the right to withdraw them from the tour. In such cases, no refund or compensation will be payable and any additional costs incurred will be the responsibility of the traveller.

We are not liable for:

  • Events beyond our control
  • The acts or omissions of the traveller
  • Acts of third parties not connected with the package

24. Complaints

Any issues must be reported during your trip to allow us the opportunity to resolve them.

Failure to notify us promptly may affect your entitlement to compensation.

Formal complaints must be submitted in writing within 28 days of return.

Your policy must cover, at a minimum:

  • Medical expenses
  • Cancellation and curtailment
  • Personal belongings

You may be required to provide proof of insurance prior to departure.

This protection ensures that:

  • Your payments are protected in the event of our insolvency; and

Repatriation will be arranged where required.

Full details of the financial protection in place, including the provider and how to make a claim, will be provided to you at the time of booking.
