If you’re a solo adventurer, we’ve got you covered! While some of our partner lodges and hotels may charge single supplements, we provide two personalized options tailored to your preferences.

Option 1: Dedicated Single Room. We can reserve a private single room for you, with the single supplement price clearly specified for each tour.
Option 2: Adventure Companionship. If you’re open to sharing your adventure, we’ll make an extra effort to match you with the perfect roommate based on your gender, age, and interests.

In the rare event that a suitable roommate isn’t available, the single supplement will be applied.
Rest assured, our calculation for the single supplement is transparent and fair. We determine this cost by deducting half the expense of a double room (plus any applicable taxes) from the actual cost of a single room. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we’re committed to ensuring your travel experience is as enjoyable as possible.

Camera Gear Bag:

Dedicated bag for your camera gear.

Separate bag for your clothes.
Handbag or Backpack:

This organized approach allows you to navigate comfortably, ensuring you have what you need at your fingertips.

We strongly recommend carrying a personal medical kit, including a first aid kit, to ensure your well-being throughout the trip. Consider including medications for common ailments such as colds, coughs, fever, diarrhea, altitude sickness, headaches, heartburn, and sore throats, among others.

For those with regular medical needs, including hypertension, blood sugar, allergies, or asthma, it’s crucial to bring an ample supply of necessary medications. Given our penchant for exploring remote destinations, having your medicines readily accessible is the best approach.

While our journeys typically require moderate stamina, ensuring you are in good health and high on energy will enhance your overall experience. Please note that this information is general, and we strongly recommend consulting with your physician or healthcare professional to determine the specific medications you should carry based on your individual health needs. Your well-being is our priority, and we want you to embark on your adventure fully prepared.

While many countries support International Roaming, local numbers for voice calls can be easily obtained at airports. It’s crucial to be aware that certain birding areas we explore may lack mobile networks. Additionally, internet access is limited at most lodges and, when available, is typically confined to dining areas. Please plan accordingly and stay connected through alternative means during your adventure.
