More knowledgeable guide

From the wildlife specialist we’ll introduce you to in South Africa to the tour manager who gives you an insight into Japan’s time-honoured traditions, you’ll have expertise on hand, every step of the way.

Tour managers Tour managers are the people who can really make a holiday – some of our customers even base their holiday choice around their favourite tour manager’s schedule.

We personally select each of our tour managers to ensure they’re among the best in the business. They’re there to keep everything running smoothly and safely, but also help you get the most out of your time away. They’ll be there when you need them, on hand with hints, tips, help and advice throughout your trip.

Local guides On some tours or excursions, you’ll also have local guides to give you extra insight into your destination. Their in-depth knowledge can transport you anywhere from ancient Egypt to Istanbul during the Ottoman empire.

Although the places we visit are magical, by far the best thing about being a tour manager is the people.

To start with a group of strangers and watch as they become a group of friends travelling together, this is what makes this job the best in the world.

You’re the VIP It’s the little extra touch that makes the start and end of your holiday as easy as the rest of the trip: a chauffeur-driven transfer that whisks you from door to explore – and back again. We call it our ‘VIP door-to-door travel’ service and it’s included on every one of our holidays.

A warm welcome Our friendly drivers will pick you up from home (anywhere on the UK mainland) and take you to the airport, port or your UK hotel. Depending where you live our VIP pick up includes a home transfer and flight from your local airport to London.*

A safe return Once your holiday has ended, our VIP driver will be waiting to take you back home. *An extra supplement will apply if you decide you’d rather not take a domestic flight and travel via road.

More effortless Dreaming of a road trip through America’s Deep South or a rail journey across India? Perhaps a wildlife tour in the jungles of Borneo or the rainforests of Costa Rica? All are incredible adventures, but they’re trips that would take a lot of time and effort to plan if you were DIY-ing.

With us, it’s all done for you, opening up a world of truly hassle-free travel.

First, we pull out all the stops to create truly unique itineraries, with every aspect carefully considered to create a trip that really wows. Then the detail kicks in, working out the route you’ll take to a particular sight, researching the restaurants you might stop at for lunch.

Hours of planning go into each trip – as departure dates approach, we’re always busy behind the scenes, confirming hotel rooms and pre-booking tickets and passes ready for our travellers. Planning each tour to perfection is something we take pride in, and we love nothing more than our customers telling us just how effortless their trip was.

More flexible plus

Planning and perfecting are what we do best – but that doesn’t mean your itinerary is set in stone from start to finish. Pick ‘n’ mix excursions, experiences and lazy days at leisure to choose a trip that’s right for you.

Action-packed or laid-back Many of our tours have leisure time built into the itinerary – mornings, afternoons or full days when you’re free to do as you please. You might want to chill out at the hotel or wander into town for a quiet coffee or a spot of lunch. If you feel like a bit of solo sightseeing, your tour manager can recommend some great places to see and let you know how to get there. Often, there’ll be an optional excursion (or two) – experiences that we’ve hand-picked to complement the rest of the holiday.

Flexi Deposit Our Flexi Deposit allows you to secure your perfect holiday.

You can change your booking if you change your mind, too - Flexi Deposit lets you amend your holiday at any time up until final payment, with no additional fee.* *Valid on new bookings. Fees may apply for nonrefundable flights or higher deposit tours – please ask one of our travel advisors for full details

Book with confidence Our holidays include ABTA and, where flights are included, ATOL protection, and are provided in accordance with the Package Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. For further details, see our website.

Why choose a small group tour? group

They say that bigger isn’t always better – and that’s definitely the case with our small group tours.

With intimate group sizes (we limit numbers to a maximum of 24), we can truly immerse ourselves in our destination, enjoying unique experiences that just wouldn’t be possible with bigger numbers.

We can get off the beaten path, exploring the rainforests of Costa Rica, the game reserves of Zimbabwe or the national parks of central India. And it’s not just far-flung destinations – we also offer small group trips to the beautiful Balearic island of Mallorca.

Keeping things small lets us plan activities and experiences that aren’t usually possible for bigger groups, like witnessing the flag lowering ceremony on the India-Pakistan border, soaring over Botswana’s Chobe National Park in a light aircraft, or enjoying salt coffee with locals in Vietnam. It also means we can organise some unique overnight stays – think intimate lodges around Kruger National Park or desert camps nestled in Rajasthan’s dunes.

With a small group, there’s a much more intimate and engaging atmosphere with the people you encounter. We partner with local guides who’ll give a unique insight into the culture and history of the areas we venture to, and who’ll perhaps show you secret spots and hidden gems that aren’t accessible to larger groups.

A smaller group allows for a more sociable holiday experience too, with everyone quickly getting to know each other. If you think you might feel overwhelmed in a larger group, these tours are ideal. Customers tell us they love the ‘family’ atmosphere on small group tours – many travelling companions end up firm friends.

Our tour manager was exceptional.

He was there 24-7 to help anyone if needed, and gave us information about where to eat and places of interest. He really couldn’t have been more helpful.

Sandra, Titan customer

Amazing organisation and a superb tour guide made this holiday a not to miss experience. The group were all extremely friendly – we had some great laughs and were all sad to be coming home at the end.

Wild India

Egypt’s Nostalgic Nile

by Dahabiya

Wild India takes you into the heart of the parks said to have inspired Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Book’. Jeep safaris and jungle walks across a trio of parks mean you’ll have plenty of opportunity to spot tigers, leopards, sloth bears and more. You’ll also marvel at star-spangled skies, with an expert on hand to explain each constellation. Away from the parks, you’ll explore UNESCO-listed temples in Khajuraho, admire Mumbai’s art deco architecture and jump on the Jhansi-Delhi express train.

See page 27

On this magical journey through ancient Egypt, we’ll be guided through some of the world’s most famous historical icons by an expert Egyptologist. The Pyramids of Giza, Valley of the Kings, Luxor and Karnak top the spellbinding list of sights. But that’s just the beginning of our trip back in time - our adventure culminates in a five-night stay aboard a traditional dahabiya sailing boat.

As the wind kisses the sails, we’ll journey down the Nile in effortless style, watching life unfold on the riverbanks.

Who?

What?

Why?

Our solo tours are reserved for people travelling on their own. There’s always a great mix of people on each tour – regular Titan travellers, new faces, those holidaying solo for the first time. We welcome all sorts of people, travelling for all sorts of reasons.

Everyone has one thing in common, though: a passion for exploring the world.

Essentially, these are special departures of some of our best-loved tours. They follow the same planned-to-perfection itineraries, with private rooms for each traveller – guaranteed – and welcome drinks to help everyone get to know each other.

Our motto is ‘adventure made effortless’ – and this is especially true of our solo tours. Travelling by yourself is a wonderful experience, but planning and organising everything alone can be stressful.

A tour manager will accompany every trip, and they’ll be on hand to ensure everyone gets the most out of their holiday. Free time is built into each of our holidays, so there’ll be opportunities to relax, do some independent sightseeing (your tour manager can offer recommendations if you’d like) or join an optional excursion.

With us, you’ve got a thoughtfully designed itinerary, with everything from hotels to entry tickets pre-arranged. You’ll have experts on hand from the off, too – our travel advisors can help you find the perfect holiday, specialist guides will join you along the way, and, of course, you’ll have the friendly face of your tour manager throughout.

Where?

Our solo tours can take you anywhere from the rainforests of Costa Rica to the railways of India – there are more than 25 different countries to pick from.

Use the list below to take you straight to your dream destination…

NEW South India Temples and Waterways Experience the spiritual roots of Southern India, from the colonial-era powerhouses of Chennai and Puducherry to the ancient Chola Empire capital of Tanjore, and the spectacular Hindu temple complexes of Madurai. Discover spice farms in the countryside and wildlife in Thekkady, before winding down with a leisurely houseboat tour on the Indian backwaters in Kumarakom. It’s a journey that will leave you with a deep appreciation for Southern India’s rich history and cultural heritage.

This is one of the few places you may be able to glimpse a quetzal.

Day 8 Monteverde. • Today is free to explore this tropical haven, or take an optional excursion into the cloud forest canopy, a great opportunity to see how the forest works.

Taking you to the iconic temples and hill stations of Northern India, this tour is perfect if you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path. Discover the sacred spiritual centres of Amritsar (home of the Golden Temple, Sikhism’s holiest shrine) and Dharamshala. Listen for echoes of empire in Shimla and Delhi, the summer and winter capitals of the British Raj. And marvel at the spectacular scenery of the forest-cloaked Himalayan foothills.

Day 1 UK - In flight. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your overnight flight to Delhi.

Day 2 Delhi. Arrive in Delhi, with some time at leisure.

Days 3-4 Amritsar. We fly to Amritsar, and transfer to our hotel for some time at leisure to relax.

After dinner, we experience one of the great traditions of the city, the ‘putting to bed’ (Palki) ceremony. Twice a day, the holy book of the Sikh faith, the Granth Sahib, is moved in a grand procession from a dedicated chamber in the Sikh Parliament to the Golden Temple, and back again.

This daily ritual is really something to behold, hinting at the tremendous spirituality of Amritsar.

In the morning, we return to the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of Sikhism. At its heart, set within a sacred pool, is the Hari Mandir (Divine Temple). This gold-plated architectural jewel is topped with intricate spires and cupolas, and decorated inside and out with verses from the Granth Sahib. We’ll explore the vast temple complex, including community kitchens which provide free meals to 10,000 pilgrims every day.

Afterwards, we head out to walk the busy bazaars of the city and visit the historic Jallianwala Bagh.

We also take some time to admire the Durgiana Hindu temple, which takes its inspiration from the Golden Temple. An afternoon excursion to the India/Pakistan border town of Wagah showcases the pomp and pageantry of the Lowering of the Flag ceremony.

Days 5-6 Dharamshala. From Amritsar, we drive the 130-odd miles to Dharamshala, a small hill station surrounded on three sides by snow-capped peaks. This delightful town owes its fame to one particular resident, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who chose it as a place of spiritual exile in 1960.

We visit also the nearby Tibetan Children’s Village, a boarding school at which orphans are provided with a Tibetan education, clothes, food and healthcare.

Day 7 Pragpur. A morning’s drive takes us to the ornamental heritage village of Pragpur by way of a tea plantation and tea factory, where we learn about the plucking and processing of Kangra tea.

In the afternoon, a walking tour of Pragpur’s cobbled streets, lined with richly decorated buildings, offers a glimpse of the village’s regal past. Our hotel, a splendid country mansion surrounded by orchards, is also a delight to explore.

Days 8-10 Shimla. • Our next destination is Shimla, the summer capital during British rule in India (temperatures here averaged 15-20 degrees cooler than Delhi and the baking hot plains).

It’s an idyllic retreat, surrounded by pine, deodar, oak and rhododendron forests and criss-crossed by mountain streams - and all set against a backdrop of the snow-capped Himalayas.

Echoes of empire still abound in Shimla, in its churches, libraries and grand colonial edifices.

Our first full day here begins with a walking tour, including a visit to the Jakhu Temple dedicated to Hanuman, the monkey god. The following day is at leisure for you to explore and enjoy Shimla.

Day 11 Kalka - Delhi. A scenic rail journey aboard the Himalayan ‘Toy Train’ transports us from Shimla through the Shivalik ranges to the delightful hill town of Kandaghat, where we stop for lunch at a local restaurant. We then drive to Kalka railway station to board the Shatabdi Express, bound for Delhi.

Day 12 Delhi. We’ll take in the best of Delhi, ‘Old’ and ‘New’, from the hand-carved 12th-century Qutab Minar minaret and the garden-tomb of Emperor Humayun, to the Hindu Birla Temple and the grand avenues and government buildings of Lutyens’ New Delhi. We also visit Raj Ghat, the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, and the 17th-century Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India.

Day 13 Delhi - UK. Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

A walk through this maze of temples reveals pillars, courtyards and sculptural reliefs, including an impressive shrine to Shiva.

This introduction to the ‘Land of Serendipity’ reveals mountaintop fortresses, ancient capitals hidden in dense forest and national parks where elephants roam free. Starting and finishing in the island’s capital, Colombo, you’ll journey to Buddhist temples and botanical gardens, stopping to sample some of the world’s best tea along the way. A safari drive in Yala National Park is a great opportunity to spot Sri Lankan wildlife - we’ll be on the lookout for leopards, buffalo, elephants and crocodiles.

Day 1 UK - In flight. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your overnight flight to Colombo.

Day 2 Colombo. On arrival in Colombo we transfer to our hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Day 3 Colombo - Habarana. Colombo is Sri Lanka’s commercial centre, a curious mix of eastern tradition and western infiltration.

Our morning tour includes a visit to the fort built by the Portuguese. From our coach, we’ll also view the buzzing Pettah bazaar district, where the streets are crammed with stalls and shops.

We continue our journey to Habarana, in the heart of the island, where we’ll stay for three nights.

Day 4 Anuradhapura - Hiriwadunna Village.

We head to Anuradhapura, ruled by the Sinhalese Kings for over 1,000 years. Star attractions include ancient Buddhist shrines, dagobas (bell-shaped memorials) and pokunas (stone water tanks).

Later, we’ll visit a typical Sri Lankan village for an introduction to local culture and indigenous farming practices.

Day 5 Sigiriya. • Adventure awaits us this morning in Sigiriya, a 182m-high rock plateau on which a 5th-century ruler built a fortress and palace. The spectacular ‘lion rock’ fortress stands majestically over the green jungle. Carved in a niche in the rocks are frescoes of beautiful women.

This afternoon you’re free to relax or join an optional excursion to Polonnaruwa, built in the 12th century by King Parakramabahu. The remains of the King’s Palace include shrines, temples, dagobas and the Gal Vihara.

Day 6 Dambulla - Kandy. Today’s tour takes in the serene Golden Temple at Dambulla, named for its gilded interior. Marvel at the rock-hewn Buddha and explore the five caves that make up the shrine. We then stop at a spice garden before reaching Kandy, last capital of the ancient kings, which nestles among low hills looped by the Mahaweli River.

Day 7 Royal Botanical Gardens - Temple of the Tooth. This morning’s tour reveals the Royal Botanical Gardens, where you can admire stunning flora and fauna. Later, watch Kandyan dancers perform the enchanting national dance of Sri Lanka, before we continue our journey to the sacred Temple of the Tooth.

Day 8 Nuwara Eliya. Today, we’ll make tracks for Nuwara Eliya, home of Ceylon tea, built during the 19th century in the style of an old English country town. Victorian- and Tudor-style homes line the pretty lake, adding to its charm. Tea lovers will be in their element as we tour a plantation, where workers - or ‘pluckers’ - pick each delicate leaf by hand. See the entire manufacturing process, from grading the tea by quality and size through to its final preparation. Later on, we’ll return to our hotel for high tea.

Day 9 Elephant Transit Home - Yala. Our journey continues to the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawe. Unlike many other sanctuaries, this home rehabilitates orphaned and injured elephants until they are strong and old enough to be released back into the wild. We continue on to Yala, on the south coast of the island.

Day 10 Yala National Park. • We rise early for our safari in Sri Lanka’s best-known national park, in search of the elusive Sri Lankan leopard. Even if we fail to catch a glimpse of this majestic predator, there’s plenty more to see, including elephants, buffalo, monkeys, deer and crocodiles.

After all the excitement you can relax for the rest of the day, or join an optional evening bird trail with an expert local guide.

Day 11 Galle - Beruwala. The Old Town of Galle, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the best example of a fortified city built by Europeans in southern Asia. The Portuguese first took control of the city in the early 16th century and began the fortification process, only to surrender it to the Dutch East India Company around 150 years later.

The Dutch built substantial ramparts and walls, which are still standing today. Following our short tour, we head up the coast to Beruwala.

Day 12 Colombo - UK. Today we transfer to Colombo Airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

Spaces are limited at these prices. Prices are per person, are subject to change and will be confirmed upon enquiry. Price promise, ABTA and ATOL protected.

Why experience Borneo with Titan?

“Focusing on the region’s flora and fauna, it was important to me that customers stay within Kinabulu National Park and head into Sukau.

In this remote and magical area of Borneo you’ll see some fantastic wildlife. I was lucky enough to see orang-utans and proboscis monkeys hanging from the trees .” Cassie Stickland, Product Manager

Following in Doctor Livingstone’s footsteps, we have some pretty big explorer shoes to fill. We manage it by combining two of the world’s greatest natural wonders - Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Exploring by air, boat and 4WD, we get closer to nature cruising along the banks of the Zambezi past bathing elephants, viewing herds of giraffe from the skies, and criss-crossing savannahs in search of the Big Five.

Day 1 UK - In flight. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Day 2 Victoria Falls. Arriving at Victoria Falls airport, we transfer straight to our lodge.

Overlooking Zambezi National Park, wash away your journey in the two-tiered tropical pool, grab a drink on the deck as dusk draws in, and wait for the wildlife come to you. Voted as one of the ‘Great Bars of the World’, the bar overlooks a natural waterhole, whose nightly patrons include thirsty elephant, buffalo and kudu.

Day 3 Victoria Falls. We start out on a high with a day at Victoria Falls - one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Discovered by Livingstone in 1855, the pre-colonial name of ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ (the smoke that thunders) perfectly describes this force of nature. A mile-wide curtain of water freefalls down the rockface for almost a quarter of a mile, causing mists that can be seen from up to 12 miles away.

After a guided walk stopping at different viewpoints around the falls, we take to the water for a sundowner cruise along the Zambezi River.

The calm before the cascade, the water at the top of the falls is slow and meandering - with hippo, crocodile, elephant and giraffe coming to the water’s edge to drink.

Day 4 Mpisi Village. • Today we visit Mpisi, a local rural village near Victoria Falls where we get an insight into traditional life - learning about indigenous customs, generations-old farming methods, medicine and healing. The afternoon is at leisure back at the lodge.

Day 5 Kasane. Crossing the border into Botswana, we arrive at Kasane - the gateway to Chobe National Park. Our home for the next seven nights is located on the tranquil banks of the Chobe River. With monkeys, kudu and countless species of bird on our doorstep, it’s the perfect base to relax and watch the wildlife from the riverbanks after a day exploring the park.

Day 6 Chobe National Park. • Chobe was Botswana’s first national park, and the overflowing tributaries, lily-strewn waterways and miles of floodplains are home to Africa’s greatest concentration of wildlife - including the largest elephant population on earth. On our first game drive into this pristine and protected wilderness, keep a lookout for lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, buffalo and antelope.

Day 7 Chobe National Park. • Up with the birdsong, this morning we cruise along the river to spot yawning pods of hippo, basking crocodile and herds of bathing elephant. A paradise for birdwatchers, Chobe is home to more than 450 species - including heron, stork, jacanas and bee-eaters. Look out for small oxpeckers as they hitch a ride and a free meal on the back of thick-skinned hippos.

Day 8 Chobe National Park. • We’ve viewed Chobe’s wildlife from land and water, so today we take to the skies. Following the course of the Zambezi River in a light aircraft, we get a unique perspective of Chobe’s waterlogged landscapes.

Like ink on litmus paper, the dotted islands and tributaries spread out beneath us - with herds of elephant, giraffe and buffalo visible from up high.

Day 9 Chobe National Park. Back down to earth, today we get deeper into the national park. A river cruise promises further sightings of elephant, hippo and watchful birds on the riverbanks; while a 4WD safari holds the possibility of more big game - including lion, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, leopard, sable and wildebeest.

Day 10 Chobe National Park. • We’ve been living on the wild side all week, so today is free to take stock, relax and recharge. Spend the day by the pool, watch the world go by from the riverbanks, and reflect on our favourite moments with new friends.

Day 11 Chobe National Park. • Early this morning we take our final game drive - relaxing into the sights and sounds of the savannah now we’ve encountered much of the wildlife we came to see. This afternoon, there’s the option to take a boat trip or fishing trip from the lodge.

Day 12 Victoria Falls - In flight. Crossing the border back into Zimbabwe this morning, we’ll transfer to Victoria Falls airport for our overnight flight back to the UK. Day 13 UK. Upon arrival your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

20 DAYS FROM £5,545 We love...

• • • •

Birdwatching at Victoria Falls, where more than 400 species have been spotted.

Seeing the ‘tablecloth’ of cloud spilling over Table Mountain’s famously flat summit.

This African adventure delivers three weeks of incredible experiences. In Zimbabwe, feel Victoria Falls’ spray and cruise the Zambezi at sunset. Next up: a South African safari, where you’ll spy the Big Five and enjoy a candlelit bush dinner. Finally, you’ll board your cruise along South Africa’s spectacular coastline.

Day 3 Victoria Falls. • We’ll view Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side, and admire the rainforest, constantly drenched by the spray. Later, we’ll take to the Zambezi for a sunset cruise, on the lookout for elephants, hippos and crocodiles.

Day 4 Victoria Falls - Safari Plains. Fly to Johannesburg and transfer to our luxurious tented suites in the heart of the bush.

Days 5-6 Safari Plains. Each morning and afternoon, you’ll head out on a 4WD game drive.

As well as the Big Five, keep your eyes peeled for cheetahs, zebras, giraffes and more. On one evening, we’ll enjoy a magical candlelit dinner out in the bush.

We love...

Witnessing the circle of life as we follow in the hoof prints of the Great Migration.

Animal magic. Every year, the seasonal changes create one of the greatest spectacles on earth - the Great Migration.

We love...

Taking a Big Five safari in Amboseli National Park against the backdrop of the picturesque Mount Kilimanjaro.

Travelling on Africa’s newest railway and experiencing a little local Kenyan life whilst enjoying the stunning views.

Imagine watching herds of buffalo drinking from a pool, as the sun sets. It’s the perfect way to end a day of thrilling safaris through Kenya’s best wildlife reserves - Maasai Mara, Tsavo, and Amboseli. Tick off the Big Five, look a giraffe in the eye, meet Maasai, and

Follow your safari sundowners with sunset cocktails on the beach, on a 3-night extension to Africa’s beach-lined east coast. You’ll leave the group in Tsavo West and take a train to Mombasa, for a stay at the Mombasa Serena Beach Resort (4*) on the Indian Ocean. Mombasa offers opportunities to relax and to delve further into Kenya’s incredible natural and cultural heritage.

Prices on request.

cross savannahs with locals on Kenya’s new express train.

Day 1 UK - Nairobi. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Nairobi, where we’ll stay for the night.

Day 2 Maasai Mara National Reserve. Enjoy the unbelievable sight of the Rift Valley as we travel in 4WD land cruisers to the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. Our rustic lodge is ideally located for uninterrupted views across a river, where animals regularly visit. Our first game drive takes place this afternoon, on the lookout for an impressive 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 bird species.

Day 3 Maasai Mara National Reserve. Extended morning and afternoon drives across the Maasai Mara offer opportunities to see the park’s magnificent inhabitants, including the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).

You’ll be welcomed into traditional homes of a Maasai village by members of the Maasai tribe, dressed in traditional robes and clinking with jewellery. You can learn about village life, their crafts and traditions.

Day 4 Maasai Mara National Reserve - Nairobi.

We take one more game drive as we slowly make our way out of the park, and back to Nairobi for an overnight stay.

Day 5 Amboseli. Our next lodge is in the heart of Amboseli National Park, with wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro. This afternoon, we take a game drive to search for the area’s abundant beasts - lions, cheetahs, wildebeests and baboons to name a few, plus hundreds of bird species.

Day 6 Amboseli. Morning and afternoon game drives take you into different areas of the park in search for all the species that call this home.

It’s best known for the huge herds of elephants that make their way, surprisingly light-footed, across the plains.

Day 7 Tsavo West. Our journey today takes us to a natural anomaly, the Shetani (‘Devil’) Lava Flow, a former fiery monster that cooled into strange black, razor-sharp rocks, where a few plants are trying to break through.

We continue to our lodge in Tsavo West and, this afternoon, proceed on a game drive which includes a visit to Mzima Springs. The lakes here are unusually clear, filtered naturally through lava, making it particularly easy to spy on the creatures that lurk within. An underwater viewing chamber allows you to view the lake from below the waterline.

Day 8 Tsavo West - Nairobi - In flight. Our final day will be a busy one. We’ll take a sunrise safari into Tsavo West, a lesser-visited reserve, so the animals are more at ease with the few safari jeeps that do cross its plains, creating a wonderful safari experience.

Then we’ll make our way to the train station for a journey to Nairobi. As you sit among friendly Kenyan locals in a comfortable, modern express train, you can watch the changing landscape through large windows.

On reaching the capital, we head to the Giraffe Centre, for the opportunity to meet these towering quadrupeds eye-to-eye. We also visit the Karen Blixen Museum.

A farewell dinner is arranged at Carnivore, famous for unusual barbecued meats carved at the table.

Filled with good food and great memories, it’s time to transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Day 9 UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

We arrive at our lodge, built beside a watering hole.

Day 5 Lake Naivasha National Park. Explore the Crescent Island Game Conservancy, a haven for birds and game. Stop at Elsamere for afternoon tea. A small museum, it’s the former home of Joy Adamson, author of ‘Born Free.’

Day 6 Maasai Mara National Reserve. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Maasai Mara: a classic Kenyan safari experience. Spend three nights immersed in wildlife wonders and unforgettable Kenyan hospitality.

Rhino and families of elephant are relatively common visitors, slaking their thirst as we settle back after a fine dinner, and an innovative optional in-room buzzer alerts us during the hours of darkness whenever a spectacle is unfolding outside.

Days 7-8 Maasai Mara National Reserve. During your two full days here, perhaps spot prides of lion, or cheetahs hunting gazelles on the open plains. Keep an eye out too for the pods of hippo that patrol the nearby river - and some of the Mara’s hundreds of bird species.

Day 3 Lake Nakuru National Park. We head west by way of the Thomson Falls, regarded as Kenya’s most beautiful waterfall. Take a wetland game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park late in the afternoon. Lake Nakuru is an ornithologist’s paradise, and at ground level, it’s not unusual to spot Rothschild giraffes, black and white rhinos, lions and leopards.

Day 9 Maasai Mara National Reserve - Nairobi - In flight. After an early breakfast, journey back to Nairobi and visit the Giraffe Centre. Stop en route to experience aspects of daily life in a typical Maasai village. Transfer to the airport for your overnight return flight to the UK.

Day 4 Lake Nakuru National Park - Lake Naivasha National Park. • Take an early morning game drive before breakfast. We then make our way to Naivasha, another of Africa’s Great Rift Valley lakes. In this natural oasis we may see hippos and buffalos wallowing among the papyrus reeds, giraffes nibbling the acacia, Colobus monkeys leaping from tree to tree and birds adding flashes of colour. Later, relax and enjoy the resort.

The chance to spot all kinds of unique wildlife, from the cute to the outright weird - our favourite is the adorable, teddy-like indri lemur.

Staying in two show-stopping beachfront locations around the island.

Floating in the mystical, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. For the full therapeutic experience, be sure to give yourself a Dead Sea mud mask too.

The tiny kingdom of Jordan is a truly rewarding place to explore. Walk the streets of spectacular Petra, an ancient rock-hewn city rediscovered in 1812. Enjoy lunch in the heart of the red expanse of Wadi Rum desert. And enjoy a relaxing float in the Dead Sea’s exceptionally salty water.

Day 1 UK - Amman. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Amman, where we’ll base ourselves for three nights. Amman, the capital of Jordan since 1921, is built on seven hills.

Day 2 Ajloun - Jerash. We visit the 12th-century medieval castle at Ajloun before continuing our journey along the King’s Highway to the ancient city of Jerash. Likened to Pompeii, Jerash is one of the best-preserved classical sites, with its forum of colonnaded shops, temples and theatres.

This ancient city lay beneath the desert sands for centuries, and was only rediscovered in 1812. The highlights are the spectacular Treasury and the Monastery which have been hewn out of solid rock.

Day 6 Wadi Rum - Dead Sea. This morning we depart for Wadi Rum, for lunch in the heart of the desert. We continue, travelling down to the Dead Sea - so rich in salt, even non-swimmers can float freely in the waters here.

• The organiser has to provide assistance if the traveller is in difficulty.

• If the organiser or the retailer becomes insolvent, payments will be refunded. If the organiser or, where applicable, the retailer becomes insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, repatriation of the travellers is secured.

Passport & entry requirements

Please note you’ll be dealing with CIBTvisas direct and, whilst we recommend CIBTvisas, we will not be held responsible for any delays or problems encountered. In the event of cancellations or alterations to your holiday, our Booking Conditions apply, and we will not be held liable for any costs you may incur as a result. You’ll also be responsible for advising CIBTvisas of any changes or cancellations.

For British citizens - The UK government recommends you ensure that on the date of travel you have at least six months left on your passport and that it is less than ten years old. If your passport doesn’t meet these requirements, you may not be able to travel.

Please be aware that whilst premium and fast track options are available, standard passport renewals can take up to ten weeks.

Travel to a non-EU country - Some countries require at least six months validity beyond your planned date of return travel. You should check the expiry date on your passport and view the FCDO travel advice for the destination(s) you’re visiting for confirmation of the specific rules.

Travel to an EU country - It is very important that you check your passport carefully as the rules have changed post-Brexit. Your passport must be no more than ten years old when you enter your destination country. For most EU countries you must have at least three months’ validity beyond your planned date of return travel.

Please check gov.uk/guidance/passport-rules-for-travelto-europe for the most up to date details.

Passport and entry requirements can change before departure and whilst we’ll tell you if there are any material changes, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you understand and adhere to all entry requirements for the countries you’re visiting. We recommend you regularly familiarise yourself with the latest requirements. We’re unable to accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport/entry/immigration requirements.

Our partners at CIBT have an accurate tool to help you easily check requirements, which you can find at cibtvisas.com/health-requirements. In addition, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office’s travel advice also contains information on entry requirements gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice If your passport is endorsed in any way, you should check immigration requirements with the relevant embassy or consulate of the country to be visited. You should also be aware that if your passport contains previous entry or visa stamps of certain countries you may encounter problems when visiting other countries e.g. a passport indicating you have previously travelled to Israel may not be accepted by a number of Arab countries.

NOTE: Some travellers including those with certain serious communicable illnesses, criminal records, previous deportations, visa overstays and other problems may not be eligible by law to enter certain countries. Such travellers must check with the embassy or consulate of the country to be visited in order to ascertain if they are eligible to apply for a special restricted visa.

Holders of a British Subject passport and Non-British Citizens should check immigration requirements with the relevant embassy or consulate of the country to be visited, as should customers with Dual Nationality/ Renounced Citizenship.

Cruise ship visits - Please bear in mind, that on selected cruises where a visa is required for a port of call, the cruiseline may arrange a group visa (included in the price of your holiday), however in some cases this group visa only allows you to join organised ship excursions and if you wish to explore independently you must apply and pay for your own visa.

Visa procurement provider, CIBTvisas - Should you require assistance with your application, Titan Travel has partnered with CIBTvisas for this purpose. They’ll provide guidance with the required documents; complete application forms online on your behalf; review your application before it’s submitted to the respective consulate or embassy thus avoiding delays; check the issued visa; and despatch your passport securely as per your instructions. Titan Travel visa applicants receive discounted rates compared to CIBTvisas’ retail/public fees.

Travellers who are not British Citizens can also check their visa requirements at www.cibtvisas.co.uk/ titantravel and usually, CIBT can assist with most nationals who reside in the UK. Their operating hours are Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm.

To download the applicable visa pack for your

Alternative visa procurement provider and other options - Other visa procurement providers are available, and it may also be possible to obtain your visa independently (sometimes at a lower cost), via the relevant country’s embassy website. Please visit the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) website, which provides up-to-date information and advice on each country’s entry requirements - www.gov. uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Please note: If you require the address of your first hotel for the purposes of your visa application, please visit www.titantravel.co.uk/mytitan for details. If you have booked through a travel agent, please contact them.

Health/fitness requirements The Department of Health offers travellers health advice at https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/countries, https://www. fitfortravel.nhs.uk/home or https://www.nhs.uk/using-thenhs/healthcare-abroad/. We strongly recommend that if you’re concerned about any health issue (including DVT) you should consult your GP. It’s essential that you have comprehensive insurance that covers you for any medical treatment or repatriation costs whilst on tour.

Immunisation/vaccinations - Immunisation and vaccination requirements can change without notice and inoculations/precautions can be specified as a condition of entry, or just as an advisory only. We’ll advise you of any destinations that stipulate compulsory inoculations as a condition of entry. For other immunisations, local conditions are subject to change and we strongly suggest that you consult your GP or one of the specialist vaccination centres for more detailed and current information at your time of travel.

Medical conditions/disabilities - In order to ensure your enjoyment on holiday, you must let us know before a booking is made if you or anyone in your party suffers from a serious medical condition or disability.

Titan Travel cannot provide individual assistance with boarding coaches or other forms of transport, luggage handling, walking or other personal requirements, etc. and customers should be confident that they can do these tasks unaided.

Some suppliers such as airlines and cruise lines may request certification from your GP to confirm that you are fit to travel. We regret that we cannot be held liable for any costs you may incur as a result. Customers must have their own collapsible wheelchair to fit through hotel/ cabin doors and must be accompanied by a travelling companion who is able to assist them. Measurements of wheelchairs and mobility aids must be given at the time of booking. Regrettably we cannot accept motorised wheelchairs or mobility aids.

Due to the historic nature and layout of some towns together with local transport regulations - particularly in Europe - access by coach to hotels and places visited may be limited. Hotels may also be located on hilly terrain. Customers are advised that a significant amount of walking at a steady pace may be involved.

Many of the places visited are extremely old and there are often cobbled streets, uneven steps and terraces.

It is important that you take extra care when walking and wear appropriate footwear. Please refer to the pace guide found in our brochures and if you have any difficulty in walking or mobility problems, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to advise you on the suitability of any particular holiday. Should your travel needs change from the time of making your booking you must advise us as soon as possible.

Accommodation Accommodation is in twin/double bedded rooms, the majority of which have private bath/shower and toilet - occasionally this will be shower and toilet only, particularly on cruise ship cabins. In rainforest, safari and desert locations, accommodation may be in lodges or campsites where standards vary and toilet facilities may not be en suite. Where we provide written details of guest room facilities in our brochures, we can’t guarantee that all rooms will be equipped as such.

Similarly, images provided in our brochures are for illustrative purposes only.

Disruption - There may be redevelopment, expansion, building or roadworks taking place in the vicinity of your hotel during your holiday, and associated noise can be unavoidable. This may occur without warning to us. If we know in advance of any impending work that could cause disturbance, we’ll make every effort to inform you as soon as possible. If you do have a complaint at your hotel or indeed for any other service, you must tell your tour manager or the hotelier who will try and solve the problem on the spot.

Quality/Star rating - The hotel ratings we show are aligned with official local ratings, where such a system exists. In countries with no official hotel grading system we have graded the hotel based on our interpretation of quality, in line with the expectations of our customers.

Local standards do vary considerably, and official local ratings should be judged in line with other hotels in the same country, rather than against UK standards.

Single rooms - Despite the fact that single rooms carry a supplement, single accommodation is not always the same size as twin/double accommodation, particularly in Europe due to the age and character of many hotels.

Single rooms may not always be in the same area of the hotel as a twin/double, and the single supplement does not necessarily mean a twin/double room will be provided for single occupancy (unless specifically stated).

Making your own flight arrangements - Please note that if you make your own international flight arrangements and join one of our tours in the destination, Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service does not apply.

Onboard meals - On short haul flights, airlines offer minimal or no complimentary snacks or refreshments and special meal requests are rarely available.

Seating - Although every effort is made to secure seating on the aircraft to satisfy requests, we cannot guarantee that your choice of seats will be available or that seats together can always be obtained. Requests for extra legroom on aircraft are so frequently requested that it is unlikely to be available.

Meals Where meals are included in a holiday, there may be a set or table d’hote menu and as part of a group booking included meals are generally eaten together at a designated time. When a choice of menu is offered, it’s possible that you’ll have to make your meal selection in advance.

When requesting vegetarian meals or special dietary requirements, the choice can be limited. The standard of breakfast in various countries will differ to the UK. An additional charge may be made for fruit juice or for hot dishes. Continental breakfast usually consists of tea/ coffee, rolls and jam. A buffet breakfast usually consists of tea/coffee, a choice of breads, rolls or croissants, cereals, fruit, cheeses and cold meats.

Triple rooms - When booking a triple room, a third person is required to either share existing beds or an extra bed is placed in the room which can be a campstyle bed or a sofa bed. The addition of an extra bed can make accommodation cramped. Rooms with three beds may not be available at all hotels. If a bed share is not appropriate and an additional single room has to be booked, this will be charged as an extra.

Pre-bookable excursions

Upgraded rooms - All upgraded rooms are subject to the hotel’s availability at the time of the request and are only guaranteed once we’ve confirmed this to you. The room facilities and upgrade descriptions are correct at the time of going to print.

Rail travel

Swimming pools - Where a hotel has a swimming pool, the period when the pool is available is at the hotelier’s discretion and is often seasonal. This may be affected by weather or essential maintenance. These situations are beyond our control.

Coaches The type and size of coach allocated will be appropriate to the group size. Single travellers are likely to be seated alongside another single traveller.

For your convenience, our most popular optional excursions are available for you to pre-book and pay for prior to your departure. The operation of excursions can be subject to minimum numbers and favourable weather conditions. If your pre-booked excursion is cancelled for operational reasons you’ll receive a full refund on your return home.

Our holidays featuring rail travel aren’t suitable for wheelchair users, those with walking difficulties or significant health problems. Luggage handling at train stations is generally not included and porters and trolleys may not always be readily available. You should be aware that you’re responsible for your own luggage and will be required to carry it to and from the station entrance to the trains. We therefore recommend wheeled suitcases. We can’t guarantee that your choice of seat will be available or that seats together can always be obtained. Customers on overnight services should note that accommodation is compact; twin berths are usually bunk beds.

Although we do try to provide coaches with toilets on board wherever possible, we regret that this facility cannot be guaranteed (particularly for smaller groups in smaller vehicles). It’s also possible that, in certain parts of the world, the toilet may have to remain locked at the discretion of the driver where disposal points are not easily accessible. Regular stops are made on every tour for the comfort of all on board.

Tour managers

Legal requirements regarding the use of seat belts on coaches vary from country to country. We believe Health and Safety is paramount and so we will not use any seat that does not have another directly in front of it unless a seat belt is fitted. The tour manager will continue to implement the system of seat rotation; however this may exclude certain seats where seatbelts are not fitted.

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service

Wi-Fi on board coaches (where specified) is only suitable for light internet browsing, may have a restriction on the total number of users at one time, and availability may vary as connections rely on the local signal strength of mobile networks. The service may also not be fitted to transfer coaches or those used for local services.

Flights Direct flights - Where the term ’direct flight’ is applied, this refers to a flight involving no change of aircraft; however the aircraft may make stops en route. Where a flight is indirect this will be advised to you, although airlines can still make late changes their schedules from time to time.

Flights from an airport near you - On a number of our holidays, where flight schedules allow, we offer the option to fly internationally from your local airport (subject to availability). When taking this option, your flight may not arrive at the same time as the main group, in which case it will be necessary for us to arrange a private transfer from the airport to your first hotel (and from your last hotel to the airport).

Where we state ‘Local Tour Manager’ this means that your tour manager lives or works in the region and will therefore meet you on arrival. We may use tour managers in this way in destinations where specialist local knowledge can really enhance your experience. We may substitute a UK-based tour manager for a local tour manager, or vice versa, at any time.

You’ll be advised of your pick-up time in your final documents. On rare occasions we may have to amend these times and reserve the right to do so. However, we’ll always endeavour to provide at least five days’ notice.

Only one suitcase and one standard piece of hand luggage per person will be allowed, however more luggage space is made available if you’re travelling on a cruise holiday, where your vessel sails from a UK port (not applicable if you have a UK domestic flight as part of your itinerary, due to airline restrictions). Your suitcase should conform to the following approximate dimensions: Height 58cm (23”), Length 73cm (29”), Width 25cm (10”).

Health and Safety requirements dictate that suitcases may only be stored in the luggage compartment of our vehicles. Therefore, please ensure you notify us as soon as possible on 0800 988 5811, if you’re taking more than one suitcase and a piece of hand luggage each, or any walking aid/collapsible wheelchair (and haven’t already informed us). Titan Travel reserves the right to decline carriage and must advise that, should separate or additional transport arrangements be necessary, then these will be at your own expense.

Your luggage will remain your responsibility, so please make sure you check with your driver that all your bags have been loaded and removed from the vehicle.

Weather conditions/National and local holidays Local weather conditions can impact our holidays in all countries. Likewise, local conditions or road closures may require us to take alternative routes. In both circumstances, this may result in us being unable to visit a region or sight normally included in the itinerary.

During local and national holidays certain facilities and museums may not be available.

Holiday duration The duration of holidays is described in the number of days and in all cases includes the day of departure from the UK and the day of arrival back in the UK.

Overseas standards It’s important to recognise that in certain countries standards/customs may differ from those we’re accustomed to. Restaurants and hotel services are often quite different, roads can be little more than bumpy tracks and poverty is ever-present. Energy conservation measures may mean that hotels are obliged to limit services such as air-conditioning, water and electricity.

The legal and safety requirements of some countries are of a lower standard than the UK.

Privacy and data We want all our customers to enjoy completely successful holidays. However, anyone with a medical condition or disability or a dietary/religious requirement must be aware that information supplied to us will be passed to other companies and persons who supply the various parts of our travel arrangements. The suppliers may, depending upon your choice of holiday, be based outside the UK, where controls on data protection may not be as stringent. We will not however, pass this information to any party that is not responsible for your travel arrangements.

Titan Price Promise On rare occasions we may choose to subsequently reduce the price of your holiday to below what you have already paid (after any discounts have been applied).

It is a Titan principle to reward early bookers with a fair price promise, which means if you see your holiday advertised with Titan for less than you paid for it, we’ll refund the difference to you in vouchers which can be used towards a new Titan holiday booked within two years from the date of issue (please note we’re unable to accept them for deposit payments). The Titan Price Promise applies as long as the discounted holiday is the same package offered under the same terms of sale (which means the full terms that apply to your holiday contract). In calculating any possible saving due, we’ll take into consideration all offers and discounts that were applied at the time of booking and compare the overall price that you’ve been charged with the current price.

Safety Your safety and security is our first consideration. In the event of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advising against travel to a certain country, we would act on this advice. However, we do recommend that you check their travel advice before you make a booking - https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Although we take every precaution in looking after you on tour, your responsibility for your personal safety and welfare and the care of your possessions remains as it would be whilst at home. Extra care should be taken when walking around cities, especially at night, and we recommend you stay in well lit, populated areas.

It is also wise to avoid carrying valuables or wearing expensive jewellery.

Special requests These should be advised at the time of booking.

Although we endeavour to meet special requests, this is dependent upon our suppliers and we cannot guarantee your request. We cannot accept any booking that is conditional upon a special request being met.

Travelling with children Unless otherwise specified on the tour page, we regret we cannot accept bookings for children younger than 12 years on the date of departure, as the holidays in this brochure are not suitable. Single parents or other adults travelling with children (under 18 years) should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. Further information on exact requirements can be obtained from the relevant embassy of the country/countries to be visited. Children must have their own individual British Citizen passport.

Booking conditions Your contract is with Saga Travel Group (UK) Limited (‘Titan’ or ‘we’ or ‘our’ or ‘us’). We set out below an explanation of the conditions that apply when you book a holiday with us. It is important that you read these conditions together with the holiday and cruise information in our brochure, as they not only define our obligations to you but also impose some important commitments upon you. If any part of these booking conditions is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not affect the other provisions which shall remain in full force and effect.

1. Your holiday contract When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept, and do accept on behalf of your party, the terms of these booking conditions. A contract will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. It is your responsibility to provide accurate details at the time of booking, including ensuring passenger details exactly match passport details. It is also your responsibility to check that the information on the confirmation invoice and ATOL Certificate (if relevant) is correct and includes details of everything you have booked (including flights, hotels and other services). If any of the passenger or holiday details on the confirmation invoice or ATOL Certificate (if relevant) are incorrect or incomplete, you must notify us immediately. We will pass on any additional charges incurred as a result of any details not being correct. We reserve the right to refuse to accept and/or not proceed with any booking at any time at our sole discretion. This contract is governed by English law and the jurisdiction of the English courts. You may however choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live there and wish to do so. A complaint may be referred to arbitration - see section 11.

2. Your financial protection and peace of mind.

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays.

2.1. For flight-based holidays this is through our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 11746 issued by the CAA of 45-59 Kingsway London WC2B 6TE, www.caa.co.uk, telephone 0333 103 6350, email claims@ caa.co.uk. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

2.2. When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight or you receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, financial protection for your package holiday or the parts that are not ATOL protected is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA – The Travel Association of 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9EQ, www.abta.com. You agree to accept that in the event of our insolvency, ABTA may arrange for the services you have bought to continue, or for a suitable alternative to be provided at the same cost as your original booking. You also agree to accept that in circumstances where the travel service supplier provides the services you have bought, you agree to pay any outstanding sum under your contract with us to that alternative travel service provider. However, you also agree that in some cases the services will not be provided, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under ABTA’s Scheme of Protection (or your payment card issuer where applicable) for a refund of the monies you have paid.

2.3. In addition to the above, monies paid to Saga Travel Group (UK) Limited for flight-based holidays requiring an ATOL are protected through the operation of a CAA approved trust account controlled and administered by an independent trustee, PT Trustees Limited.

You agree that all monies you pay to us for the flight-based holiday will be paid into a separate and designated trust account and will be held there on trust for the trustees of the Air Travel Trust (or in some cases for you) pursuant to a trust deed entered into between us, PT Trustees Limited and the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust. Money paid into that trust account may only be released in accordance with the terms of the trust deed. This means that for all flight-based holidays, in the event of our insolvency, funds will be available to ensure that you are not left stranded abroad or, in the event your holiday is in the future, you will be refunded any money you have paid in advance.

Please note that items not purchased through Saga Travel Group (UK) Limited will not be protected.

3. Your holiday price Price: Advertised prices may have changed by the time you book your holiday. We will notify you of the current price prior to any booking.

We reserve the right to alter the price of any holiday, introduce supplements or correct pricing errors at any time.

After you’ve made a booking, we can only change your holiday price in certain circumstances. Changes in the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, the level of taxes or fees imposed by third parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports or exchange rates, mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. In any event, we guarantee that there will be no change to the price within 20 days of your departure (unless you amend your booking). We will also absorb, and you will not be charged for, any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes any amendment charges. You may be charged for the amount over and above that. If this results in an increase equivalent to more than 8%

66

of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel you must do so within the time period shown on your final invoice.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the cost changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our administrative expenses incurred. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

Titan reserves the right not to be legally bound in the case of incorrect pricing and acknowledgement of such an error does not mean acceptance of it.

Local taxes: Please note that local taxes are not included within the holiday package price and where necessary these will need to be paid locally by you.

Optional ad hoc services: We provide you with the option to specifically request extras which are in addition to or adaptions of our standard packages. Prices for optional ad hoc services such as extensions, extra accommodation, upgrades and domestic flights (‘ad hoc’ services) can vary depending on when you book. Please note that adding an ad hoc service may result in additional nonrefundable charges to our standard packages due to changes in flight dates, changes to our standard allocated accommodation periods and additional costs passed to us from third party suppliers. You will be notified of the total price of your holiday prior to booking, along with any additional or higher non-refundable deposit amount payable.

Please note that where a flight upgrade has been booked and there is a change of airline prior to your departure date it may not be possible to offer an equivalent upgrade or there may be an additional cost payable (we will refund you the difference if the upgrade with the new airline is of a lower value). In this situation, we will offer you the opportunity to revert to economy class and refund you the cost of the upgrade, pay any additional costs for the equivalent upgrade or cancel with a full refund of all monies paid. Compensation will not be payable.

4. Seamless travel from door to tour.

VIP door-to-door travel service: The majority of Titan’s VIP door-to-door transfers are not exclusive to one booking. Journeys may be undertaken via additional addresses and may involve a change of vehicle. For journeys of less than 100 miles, we may deviate from your direct route by up to 30 minutes. For journeys over 100 miles, we may deviate from your direct route by up to 60 minutes. VIP door-to-door transfers are available within mainland UK only. In the Scottish Islands and Sark where vehicle access is restricted, we invite guests to nominate a mainland address for their pick-up. At busy times of the year, we supplement this service with carefully selected, private chauffeur driven vehicles which offer the same standard transfers.

Airport meet-and-greet service: Not available on departures from some UK regional airports.

Fly from an airport near you: Local flights are subject to schedules and availability. Applicable supplements will be quoted once flight schedules become available, which may be after your initial booking date. Additional or higher non-refundable deposits may be payable for flights with low-cost airlines. Due to differing flight schedules, we may arrange a separate or private transfer from the airport to your first hotel (and from your last hotel to the airport).

Connecting flights to London: Connecting flights are subject to schedules and availability. Applicable supplements will be quoted once flight schedules become available, which may be after your initial booking date. Additional or higher non-refundable deposits may be payable for flights with low-cost airlines. Due to differing flight schedules, overnight accommodation may be required at an additional cost. It is not possible to transfer customers from Scotland to London airports by road, therefore connecting flights will be required.

Transfers to the airport, seaport or any other place of departure within the UK, where included in the price of your holiday, are a free-of-charge service.

5. Group sizes Your holiday will be cancelled if the minimum number of customers is not reached. For Small Group Tours & Ocean Cruises the minimum number of customers is 10 and for Standard Tours and River Cruises the minimum number of customers is 20. If the minimum number of customers is not reached, we will inform you or your travel agent in advance of your balance due date and you will have the option to move to an alternative date or holiday (additional costs may apply), or receive a full refund of all monies paid. See section 10 for information relating to cancellation for any other reason.

6. Paying for your holiday Unless specified otherwise, when you make your booking you must pay a deposit amount per person of £250 for short haul holidays and £395 for long haul. Please note some holidays and flights with low-cost airlines may require an additional or higher non-refundable deposit. You will be advised of any additional or higher nonrefundable deposits at the time of booking.

The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 75 days before your departure date, or as advised at the time of booking and stated on our confirmation invoice. Unless you are otherwise advised, bookings made after the balance due date (as set out above) must be paid in full at the time of booking and we cannot confirm your booking until full payment is received. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we reserve the right to cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time, we shall retain your deposit.

Low deposit offers: Occasionally, we may promote low deposit offers for a specified time period. Please note some holidays may require an additional or higher non-refundable deposit. These exceptions will be advised at the time of the booking.

Refunds: If you are entitled to any refund(s) relating to your booking, this will go to the lead passenger who made the booking, usually by the same payment method that was used to pay us. In the case of card payment, refund(s) will be made to the appropriate card account(s). Any fees incurred when making a payment will not be refunded unless we cause the cancellation. No refund is available after your departure date if you attend part of the holiday only, or vary or extend the holiday arrangements.

7. If you change your booking.

If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example, your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be from the person who made the

booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £25 per person, and any further cost we may incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should therefore contact us as soon as possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements (for example, flights with low-cost airlines) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

Transferring your booking: You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing at least 7 days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer.

8. If you cancel your holiday You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices and the cancellation will be effective from the date it is received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges as per the table at the end of these booking conditions, or as advised by your sales consultant (see also the exception below). Please note that any additional or higher non-refundable deposits paid will be included in the cancellation charges set out in the table at the end of these booking conditions or advised by your sales consultant. Should cancellation occur before your balance due date, the cancellation charge will, therefore, be loss of deposit plus any additional and/or higher non-refundable deposit paid. You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances.

Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances means a situation that is, in our opinion, beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, Government action or restraint, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, low or high water levels, adverse weather conditions including hurricanes, epidemics, health risks, unavoidable technical problems with transport, damage and accidents from machinery or engines and closed or congested airports. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated and for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

Notes: (i) If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. (ii) If one person sharing a twin/double or triple room or cabin should cancel, the remaining participants would then be required to pay the relevant single supplement or forfeit the triple reduction.

9. If we change your booking We plan the holiday arrangements many months in advance and, although unlikely, we may need to make changes. It is a term of your booking that we are able to make changes to any aspect of your booking. If the change is insignificant, we will ensure that you are notified about it. Examples of insignificant changes include, but are not limited to, changes to airline carriers; changes to aircraft type; alterations of your onward/return flights which do not result in a change to date of departure; change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard; flights becoming indirect; closure of hotel facilities for improvement; building works; changes to advertised amenities; changes to itineraries; changes to included and optional excursions and entertainment. Please note we will not pay compensation or offer alternative options if we make an insignificant change.

If, before departure, we have to significantly alter any of the main characteristics of the travel services that make up your holiday package, you will have the rights set out below.

9.1. We will contact you and you will have the choice of accepting the change or having a refund of all monies paid. You can also accept an alternative holiday, where we offer one. If the alternative holiday is of a lower value, we will refund any price difference. If the alternative holiday is of a higher value, you will be required to pay the additional amount.

We will tell you the procedure for making your choice. Please read any notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled.

9.2. If you choose to accept a refund, we will pay compensation as per the table at the end of these booking conditions except where the significant change is due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights.

Examples of significant changes include, but are not limited to, a significant change of resort or holiday duration, where your stay is for 3 nights or more; a change of accommodation to that of a lower category for 3 nights or more; a change in departure date; a change of departure airport (except between London airports, between Birmingham and East Midlands airports, between Sheffield, Doncaster, Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports, or between Liverpool and Manchester or between airports in Scotland) or your cruise being cancelled by the cruise company or shipping line.

Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses you may incur from arrangements you have made with any other party or parties.

10. If we cancel your holiday.

We reserve the right to cancel your booking. We will not cancel after the balance due date, except for Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances or a failure by you to pay the final balance. If your holiday is cancelled (for reasons other than a failure by you to pay the final balance) you can either have a full refund of all monies paid or, where available, accept an offer of alternative comparable travel arrangements. We will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value. In the event a refund is paid to you, we will pay compensation as per the table at the end of these booking conditions except where the cancellation is due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights.

Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses you may incur from arrangements you have made with any other party or parties.

11. ABTA We are a Member of ABTA, membership number Y174X. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution

of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta. com.

12. If you have a complaint We are proud of our high reputation for customer satisfaction and strive to reach amicable settlement of the small number of complaints we receive. If you have a complaint about any of the services included in your holiday, you must inform our representative or locally appointed agent or hotel director without undue delay who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer Service Department at Titan Travel, Explorer 1, Fleming way, Crawley, West Sussex. RH10 9JY giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you.

If you fail to follow the requirement to report your complaint in resort, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify it and this may affect your rights under this booking.

Please also see section 11 above on ABTA. 13. Additional assistance If you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday and ask us to help we will provide appropriate assistance, in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance; and helping you to find alternative arrangements and any necessary phone calls/emails. You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault.

14. Our liability to you We are responsible for the proper performance of all travel services included in this package. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this package. If any of the travel services included in your package are not performed in accordance with the contract, or are improperly performed, by us or the travel service suppliers, and this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements, you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both.

We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services is due to: you or any member of your party; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. Except in cases involving death, injury or illness, the liability of Titan and any company within the group of companies which Titan is part of (including its employees, agents and subcontractors) shall be limited to a maximum of three times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: (a) the contractual terms of the companies that provide the travel services that make up your package. These terms are incorporated into this booking; and (b) any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of and conditions under which compensation can be claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of the extent of or the conditions under which compensation is to be paid under these or any conventions.

Copies of the travel service contractual terms or the international conventions shall be provided on request. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004), you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and available from airlines. If you are unhappy with your airline’s response you may complain to the Civil Aviation Authority (Telephone 020 7453 6888 or visit www.caa.co.uk/passengers). Please note that reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in these booking conditions. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline or any other service provider will be deducted. You agree to assign to Titan any rights that you may have against a third party or person which have caused or contributed to our legal liability to you or which result in us incurring costs on your behalf. You agree that you will provide us and/or our insurers, with all reasonable assistance to pursue a claim against any third party or person.

If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday. Note: this entire section 14 does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into whilst on holiday (for example, for excursions, entertainment, amenities, activities, other tours, meals and other purchases).

15. Your responsibilities (i) Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates.

We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. (ii) You are responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your party.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your booking or to remove you or a member of your party from any tour or holiday if, in our view, your demeanour or behaviour, or that of a member of your party, is disruptive, dangerous, antisocial or annoying to other people. In such an event, no compensation or refund will be payable and you will be liable to pay any additional expenses reasonably incurred in arranging the curtailment. (iii) You are responsible for the carriage and care of your luggage throughout your holiday except for such times as it may be in the hands of an airline; where in such circumstances the airline’s specific terms and conditions relating to the carriage of baggage will apply. Please ensure that your luggage is loaded on to all transport and be careful to take the correct luggage with you when you leave any mode of transport. (iv) You must comply with the terms and conditions of the third party suppliers of any travel services that form part of the package. Failure by you to observe such terms and conditions

which are incorporated into this contract and available upon request may affect any compensation or liability we may have towards you.

16. Mobility and Assistance.

The cruise ships we use have a limited number of cabins adapted for use by those with restricted mobility and are limited as to the number of disabled passengers or passengers with reduced mobility that they can carry. We reserve the right to refuse the carriage of any person if carrying such a passenger would breach any applicable safety requirement or law. We also reserve the right to refuse carriage if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment would make carriage unsafe or not operationally feasible. We reserve the right to require that a disabled passenger or a person of reduced mobility is accompanied by another fare paying person capable of providing assistance to ensure compliance with any applicable safety requirement or law or if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment means that a disabled passenger or person of reduced mobility cannot be carried in a safe or operationally feasible manner without the assistance of another person. Please note that personal daily care cannot be provided by any member of the ship’s staff.

Please advise us at the time of booking if you or any member of your party has reduced mobility, requires a specially adapted cabin or would require assistance in an emergency, or as soon as possible before departure should there be a change in circumstances. This is essential for travel by sea or inland waterways, as a risk assessment may need to be carried out prior to your departure. If you do not inform us of such a condition, we will not be liable if an airline or cruise line refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger. In the same respect, for land-based holidays we need to be made aware of any special requirements that may affect your holiday as our representatives will only be able to provide support in an emergency.

Under European law, if you are disabled or have difficulty moving around, you can receive assistance when you fly. This free service is available to anyone with mobility problems, for example, because of your disability, age or a temporary injury. To take full advantage of the service you need to book at least 48 hours in advance of your flight.

Please contact us as soon as possible prior to your departure. Please note that we reserve the right at any time to ask passengers to produce medical evidence of their fitness to travel (including submission of a medical certificate certifying suitability of the holiday).

17. Holiday Information Delays: If you are delayed at point of departure, we will do our best to arrange meals plus accommodation on overnight delays.

Any optional activities (for example, excursions, entertainment, activities, amenities, other tours,) meals or other purchases (‘Optional Extras’) that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holidays are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For all Optional Extras, your contract will be with the operator/supplier of the Optional Extra and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the Optional Extra or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator/supplier. We cannot guarantee that the Optional Extras will be available during your holiday and they will only operate if a sufficient number of people wish to take part. Optional Extras are sold subject to the laws and the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the country or state where purchased. We have included them in brochures and on the website to illustrate your choice, not as a recommendation to take part. Tour managers and local representatives are instructed not to act as agents in booking any alternative activities other than those approved by us. Any assistance they may offer at your request does not imply that they have acted as an agent or that these activities have been approved and offered for sale by us.

Actual seat numbers on flights booked by us cannot be guaranteed as there may be changes for airline operational, safety or security reasons. However, the airline will where possible re-accommodate your seats together and match your seating preferences. Where this is not possible, we will refund any applicable seating charges paid to us for the flights affected.

We will advise you with your holiday confirmation of any vaccinations that are required as a condition of entry to the country(ies) that you are visiting. We recommend that you consult your doctor at least 12 weeks before departure, and they will advise you about any other vaccinations required. You may wish to refer to government health advice for your destination at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice or call the 24-hour phone line 0845 850 2829 – calls cost 4p per minute with BT; other network prices may vary.

EU Banned Carriers List: In accordance with EU Directive (EC) no.

2111/2005, Article 9, we are required to bring to your attention the existence of a ‘Community List’ which contains details of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EU Community. The Community list is available for inspection at: https://ec.europa.eu/ transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office provides up-to-date advice and safety information for British nationals travelling abroad. For the latest travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, please visit gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice.

18. Medical Information You are responsible for ensuring that you declare any existing medical conditions, disabilities or mobility restrictions affecting you or a member of your party which may require assistance before you book your holiday or, if newly diagnosed after booking, immediately after diagnosis and no later than 48 hours before departure. If there is a change in your medical condition (or that of a member of your party) or you (or a member of your party) develop a new medical condition, please call us as soon as possible. This is essential for all bookings. For travel by sea or inland waterways, a risk assessment may need to be carried out to confirm if your carriage is possible prior to your departure. If you do not inform us of such matters as set out above, we will not be liable if a transport provider refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger.

For cruises, women who are up to 24 weeks pregnant by the end of the holiday are required to provide a medical certificate of fitness to

travel. We cannot carry passengers who will be 24 weeks or more pregnant at the end of the holiday. We reserve the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse travel if we and/or the Master of the ship are not satisfied that you will be safe during your holiday. The doctors aboard the ships (if any) may not be qualified to deliver babies on board, or to offer pre or postnatal treatment, and no responsibility is accepted by Titan in respect of the ability to provide such services or equipment.

For air travel, you are subject to the terms and conditions of your airline, who will have its own policies. Please let us know if you are pregnant or become pregnant prior to departure.

19. Insurance A condition of your booking is that you’re suitably insured for your trip which must include COVID-19 cover. We strongly recommend this is purchased as close to your booking date as possible, to cover you for any unforeseen cancellations. You must notify us of your insurance details no later than 4 months prior to departure, failure to do so means we will not allow you to travel and will treat your holiday as cancelled with the applicable cancellation fee being charged. You must be adequately insured for all your needs to cover all contingencies such as medical expenses, repatriation, and baggage cover. While on holiday, should you choose to take part in any activity which can be deemed as being of a hazardous nature (for example, hang gliding, hot air ballooning, white-water rafting, etc.), it is essential to ensure that cover is provided under the terms of your travel insurance. If you are in doubt, you should contact your insurer.

The organisers of some adventure activities that you may choose to take part in whilst on holiday may request that you to sign a waiver of their liability for risks involved. We must draw your attention to the fact that by signing such a document you may well lose any rights to claim for damages in respect of death, injury, or loss of or damage to property even if negligence on the part of the activity organiser is proven to have occurred.

20. Data Protection Any personal data that you provide will be held securely and for the purpose you have provided it, in accordance with data protection legislation. We may need to disclose personal data to a third party including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for the purpose of providing your holiday. In addition, your data may be disclosed to regulatory bodies or public authorities such as customs or immigration for the purposes of monitoring and/or enforcing compliance with any regulatory rules/codes; and it may be used for marketing, offering renewals, research and statistical purposes and crime prevention.

Where Titan has obtained your permission to do so, they will also contact you by post, telephone, email or other means to tell you about offers, products and services that may be of interest to you. At any time, you can opt out of receiving such information, revise the products you would like to hear about or change the method they use to communicate with you. You can update these preferences by calling 0800 988 5811. For further information about how Titan uses your personal information, please visit www.titantravel.co.uk/ more-information/privacy-statement or contact the Saga Group Data Protection Officer by email: data.protection@saga.co.uk or post: Titan Travel, PO Box 255, Seaham DO, SR7 1BQ. Where you provide information about another person, we accept it on the basis that you have their permission to give us access to their personal data (including any sensitive personal data) and that you have told them who we are and what we will use their data for, as set out above.

Note: We are committed to the ongoing training of our staff and this may involve the recording of telephone conversations.

21. Advance Registrations You are able to secure your place on your desired holiday before the general release date with a refundable deposit of £50 per person.

As soon as we are able to finalise your holiday plans, we will contact you to provide all the necessary details and collect any additional deposit. A contract will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. Should you decide against travelling on this holiday prior to receiving our confirmation invoice or if we are unable to confirm your chosen holiday, your deposit is fully refundable.

22. Travel Agents When you buy a flight-based holiday, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by them, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on our behalf at all times.

23. Brexit.

Please be aware that some travel services could be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union.

Examples of this could include the inability of airlines to operate flights (including the loss or restriction of rights in respect of transit, air traffic or entry into an airspace), an unavailability of some flight routes, changes to the visa requirements of British citizens and limited or no access to certain airports and ports. If we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected, we will let customers know as soon as possible. However, as this situation is extraordinary and outside of our control, we would treat any such changes or cancellations as being due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses customers may incur in these circumstances. We strongly encourage customers to take out travel insurance to cover consequential losses and expenses.
