                  Notes from your Travel Consultant:
                  The below itinerary takes in the key highlights of Southern Malawi, with some time on Lake Malawi, Liwonde National
                  Park as well as obviously concentrating the trip around Mount Mulanje. Here you have an acclimatisation day,
                  followed by 2 nights on the mountain and ending with some R&R at the foothills of the mountain before heading back
                  to Lilongwe for your final night.

                  I have used a three red star rating to advise you on the comfort level of each lodge and a three green star eco rating
                  for their commitment to responsible tourism. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and working with you to create
                  the perfect itinerary.

                  With best wishes from Malawi. Dom

           Capital, Lilongwe was founded in 1906 along the banks of the Lilongwe River. Lying along a plateau west
of The Great Rift Valley at an altitude of 1,067 metres, Lilongwe is a great base to start a Malawian Holiday or for

of good restaurants, bars and activities for visitors stopping for a few days. Lilongwe has a bustling curio market,
ideal for buying gifts and a number of famous landmarks including the tomb of the first Malawian President and a
memorial tower in remembrance of soldiers who fought in the 1st and 2nd World Wars.

A good option for an afternoon activity is a visit to Lilongwe Nature Sanctuary or the Tobacco Auctions which can be
visited between the months of March and June.

Small lodges are dotted along the shore line interspersed with small fishing villages and wooden kayaks drying in the
sun. Away from the hustle and bustle of mainland Malawi the southern lakeshore has a unique feel to it, people walk a
little slower, the sun shines a little brighter and the warm heart of Africa really shows     true colours. Days can be
spent sunbathing on the beach, taking snorkeling trips and feeding the fish eagles or chatting with locals as they mend
their nets. Sunset cruises provide a wonderful opportunity to witness the magnificence of the lake before returning for

                                                                                      Booking Conditions
                          * Please read the booking conditions contained herein carefully. The following conditions will form part of your contract.


All bookings must be confirmed in writing, whereby this confirmation is taken as an acceptance of the terms and conditions as laid out below. A booking will be considered firm when the deposit or full
payment has been received by and accepted by The Responsible Safari Company Ltd. and a confirmation invoice issued, showing the balance due. The person who signs the booking form does so
on behalf of all persons named on the booking form and all are subject to these conditions. If for any reason we are not able to accept your booking your deposit will be returned in full.

Payment is accepted by International Bank Transfer in US$. For bookings made within 28 days of departure full payment will be accepted. The final balance is due 12 weeks prior to departure or as
shown on your invoice. If not paid by the said date your booking may be subject to cancellation by us and liable to full cancellation charges as shown on your invoice. Special requests should be
indicated on the booking form at the time of booking or made in writing. We will try to meet all special requests, but cannot guarantee their availability, nor will we be liable if any special request is not
fulfilled.
TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS PRICE
Prices quoted in our literature are based on tariffs, costs and taxes current at the time we went to print, often many months before the travel season. Whilst The Responsible Safari Company Ltd
makes strenuous efforts to adhere to the prices quoted in our literature or advertising, we reserve the right to notify you of any increase in the literature or
advertised price before accepting your booking. After a confirmation invoice has been issued, the price of your travel arrangements is subject to surcharges on or in relation to the following items;
increase in transportation costs (including fuel and airfares) Governmental action, exchange rate variations, overlying charges and fees chargeable for services (including land taxes and embarkation
or disembarkation fees at ports and airports). Only amounts in excess of 2% will be surcharged. However where a surcharge is payable, there will be an administration charge. Surcharges will be
notified by a supplementary invoice sent to you. If a surcharge increases the total Travel Arrangements price shown on your original confirmation invoice by more than 12%, you may cancel your
booking within 7 days of the date of issue of the supplementary invoice and obtain a full refund of all payments made to The Responsible Safari Company, except for Travel Insurance and any
amendment charges previously incurred. You may choose to pay for your Travel Arrangements in full at the time of booking, in which case the price will be fixed at the cost quoted by The
Responsible Safari Company Ltd. at that time. To take advantage of this benefit you should return the confirmation invoice to The Responsible Safari Company Ltd with full payment to reach us
within 7 days of the date shown on the confirmation. Should the value of the £ strengthen, we will not be able to reduce Travel Arrangements prices as all Travel Arrangements will have been pre-
booked by us at the prevailing rate at that time.

suppliers. It is important to note that airlines sometimes charge a 100% cancellation fee in addition to the cost of a new ticket.

CANCELLATION OR ALTERATION BY THE RESPONSIBLE SAFARI COMPANY LTD
The Responsible Safari Company Ltd has made every effort to ensure that the information, description and prices quoted in its literature are accurate at the time of printing. The Responsible Safari
Company Ltd reserves the right to advise you of any change, including any price changes, before accepting your booking. After a confirmation invoice has been issued, The Responsible Safari
Company Ltd. makes every effort to operate the Travel Arrangements as printed in the literature. On some rare occasions The Responsible Safari Company Ltd may have to modify a Travel
Arrangement prior to your departure. If the modification is significant i.e. change of flight time by more than 15 hours, a change of international airport (except between airports serving the same city
e.g. Heathrow and Gatwick) a change of destination or a change to lower standard of accommodation, The Responsible Safari Company Ltd will advise you as soon as practicably possible. You may
or may not accept the modification. However, if you cancel and receive a full refund following a significant modification made for any reason other than Force Majeure, you will receive the following
compensation, depending on the length of time before the date of departure that you are informed of the change.

                                           More than 42 £10 per person
                                           21 - 41 £20 per person
                                           8 - 20 £25 per person
                                           0 - 7 days £30 per person

Force Majeure means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond The Responsible Safari Company                              control, the consequences of which neither The Responsible Safari Company Ltd
nor its suppliers could avoid, including but not limited to war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity (actual or threatened), industrial dispute, hostilities, political unrest, Government action or
airport regulations, natural or other disaster, nuclear incident, weather conditions, technical problems with transportation, closure of airports, fire, flood, drought, temporary technical breakdown in an
hotel or apartment. If there is a minor modification before your departure (any change not included in the definition of a significant modification as set out above) The Responsible Safari Company Ltd
will notify you, although it is not obliged to do so, nor is it obliged to pay any compensation. If you fail to pay the balance of the Travel Arrangements price at least 12 weeks (84 days) before
departure or as shown on your invoice, we hold the right to treat your booking as cancelled and levy the cancellation charges set out in Clause 2 above. If The Responsible Safari Company Ltd has
to cancel your Travel Arrangements in any other circumstances before your departure The Responsible Safari Company Ltd will do its best to offer you Travel Arrangements of a comparable
standard or will give you a full refund.
The Responsible Safari Company
                                                                               Additional Booking Notes
                          * Please read the booking conditions contained herein carefully. The following conditions will form part of your contract.


Travel Insurance
Under current EC regulations we are obliged to ensure that you are adequately covered with travel insurance at the time of travel. Please seek adequate cover or consult The Responsible Safari
Company for advice. However, when taking out cover we strongly recommend that you read all the small print since some conditions and activities may be excluded.

Safari Wildlife Habitat Indemnities
As part of your travel arrangements you may have elected to visit such areas as, National Parks, Private Game Reserves or Wildlife Habitats. In these areas there may be wild animals or potentially
dangerous situations. You should be aware that in the majority of these areas you may well be asked to sign an indemnity indemnifying the principals and their agents against such occurrences as
injury or death in the event of any accidents. Whilst every reasonable care will be taken by the safari lodge or activity owners to avoid any mishaps, accidents can happen. In most instances if these
indemnity forms are not signed on arrival the safari lodge or activity operator may not allow you to take part in such activities or game drives, bush walks, riding or rafting etc. If you would be unhappy
to sign such an indemnity then please carefully consider your choice of holiday. Your confirmation of your booking to The Responsible Safari Company Ltd. accepts your responsibility on behalf of
yourself and all others to comply with these conditions.

Airport Delays
The Responsible Safari Company Ltd uses the scheduled times of the                major international airlines. These are rarely subject to lengthy delays. In the unlikely event that this does happen,
responsibility for arrangement for meals, overnight accommodation etc., will rest with the airline.

Groups
On Group bookings we reserve the right to exclude from group activities, or in serious cases, send home anyone who places any member of the group in danger because of his/her actions or who
causes problems or severe discord amongst the group. Where rooming companions are requested (same gender) The Responsible Safari Ltd group tours, although we will do our best to find a
suitable companion with a similar background and interests, it will be at your request and we therefore cannot be held responsible for any clashes of personality etc.

Travel Documents
Whilst offering all possible advice and assistance all passport, visa and health certificate requirements are your responsibility and The Responsible Safari Company Ltd accept no responsibility for
any delay or expense incurred through any irregularity in your documents. You are advised to consult The Responsible Safari Company Ltd for exact details if uncertain.

If you have a problem
If you are unhappy with any of the arrangements made by The Responsible Safari Company Ltd on your behalf while you are on your travels, you should inform The Responsible Safari Company
Ltd, the Hotel or our representative or other supplier whose services are involved, so that they will have an opportunity to correct the matter during your stay. If you fail to do so, any rights you may
have will be reduced. If any problem cannot be resolved locally and you wish to complain, full details must be sent to The Responsible Safari Company Ltd in writing within 21 days of your return from
your Travels. Disputes arising out of, or in connection, with this contract which cannot be settled amicably, may be referred to arbitration.
