9 NOTES GENERAL NOTES RELATED TO ALL RATES IN THIS MANUAL All city services and ground transfers, conservation/park fees, levies, and air transfers are excluded unless otherwise noted. Standard Terms and Conditions apply - a copy of which is available on request. Rates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances such as, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, fuel levies, surcharges, government decree, or items of this nature. Comprehensive medical and travel insurance (including temporary Flying Doctor Membership where relevant in Kenya) is required for all guests travelling to the properties and is a condition of travel and stay. Great Plains Conservation Child Policy These general guidelines apply to all of the Great Plains Conservation properties: Families at all our camps will be on shared activities with other guests. The minimum age requirement for walking and canoeing is 12 years in all camps except Selinda Explorers Camp where activities will be adjusted for children 10 years and older. Children 15 and younger must share a room with at least one adult. On the Selinda Adventure Trail, children 10 to 13 years (inclusive) are welcome on departures that have been booked on a private basis. This allows the guide and crew to adjust the daily walking and/or canoeing distances to suit the family s needs. The child rate is based on a child sharing with two adults (except ol Donyo Lodge, Mara Plains and Selinda Camp family rooms where is is up to two children sharing with two adults). If this configuration is not possible, then it may be that the child will be charged the applicable adult rate. We evaluate each booking to ensure we deliver the best possible safari experience to all our guests in camp. In some cases, we may need to turn away a family booking in order to do so; we will do everything possible to try and avoid that outcome. Our camps are located in wildlife zones that are not fenced in and there are no child care facilities in our camps. Parents/guardians must be watchful of and responsible for their children at all times. Each of our camps has a unique child policy based on the size, location and structure of the camp. Please consult each camp s rate page for specifics.
