Useful information

Only certified mountain guides and leaders are registered on Explore-Share.com. Most of them are IFMGA-certified, the most rigorous international certification, and others are UIMLA-certified, the most respected certification for mountain leaders. A third group has local/country certifications — this is especially the case for countries where IFMGA is not available.

However, it is your responsibility to verify that the mountain guide you are booking has the necessary qualifications and expertise to guide you.

If you book your Tour more than 30 days in advance, you will have a 48-hour span after booking to cancel and receive a full refund without any deductions.

After that period of time, if you decide to cancel the Tour, you will have the possibility to do so in accordance with the following indemnity scheme (refunded or to be paid depending on whether the payment was made and received):

100% refunded (or 0% paid) if the cancellation is notified in writing by email to the Guide up to 60 days before the first day of the Tour (minus 3% of the amount paid at booking as an administration fee, and the eventual non-reimbursable expenses the Guide paid to organize the Tour);

75% refunded (or 25% paid) if the cancellation is notified in writing by email to the Guide between 59 and 30 days before the first day of the Tour (minus 3% of the amount paid at booking as an administration fee, and the eventual non-reimbursable expenses the Guide paid to organize the Tour);

50% refunded (or 50% paid) if the cancellation is notified in writing by email to the Guide between 29 and 21 days before the first day of the Tour (minus 3% of the amount paid at booking as an administration fee, and the eventual non-reimbursable expenses the Guide paid to organize the Tour);

0% refunded (or 100% paid) if the cancellation is notified in writing by email to the Guide less than 21 days before the first day of the Tour

Non-refundable fees that will be discounted from the refund include:

Administration fee: 3% of the total price of the Tour.

Service fee: 5% of the total price of the Tour.

The eventual non-reimbursable expenses the Guide paid to organize the Tour  (accommodation, administration expenses, salaries, porters, food, etc.), to be defined by the guide at the moment of the client’s request for cancellation.

Credit Card fee: approximately 2.3% of the amount paid by credit card.

Any other fee that had been clearly mentioned to the client as non-refundable before the client booked.

If bad weather or unsuitable conditions force the guide to cancel the trip, he or she will: a) propose a similar activity at a different place where conditions are better, or b) propose to postpone the activity until a later date, or c) cancel. If you refuse option a), the cancellation policy will apply. Please note, however, that the call to cancel a trip due to bad weather can only be made by the guide (not the client). Under exceptional circumstances, the guide could, however, decide at his sole discretion to refund the client (minus the transaction fee).

The 5% customer service fee paid at the moment of the booking is non-refundable. It is advisable to have an insurance policy that covers cancellations.

Take into account, however, that if accommodation, flights or transfers were included in the trip you booked, then a different policy may apply as the guide will be bound by the provider’s cancellation policy.

If bad weather or unsuitable conditions force the guide to cancel the trip, he or she will: a) propose a similar activity at a different place where conditions are better, or b) propose to postpone the activity until a later date, or c) cancel. If you refuse option a), our cancellation policy will apply. Please note, however, that the call to cancel a trip due to bad weather can only be made by the guide (not the client).

Yes. If you are looking for a specific program but can’t find it on bwananaadventures.com, write to our Bwanana Adventures coordinators and we’ll do our best to contact you with a local certified guide who can provide the tour you want.

Some guides offer group departures that you can join, others don’t. This information is usually available in the trip’s description but, if it isn’t, you can always ask our mountain guide coordinators.
