- Hotel tips, taxes, porterage and service charges *Note:Children must be 8 years or older at time of travel.Single rooms are not available on this package. **Note: Starting in 2022, porterage will no longer be offered on this tour. Travelers will be responsible for transporting their own luggage for the duration of their tour. We think this escorted tour is an amazing experience and we hope you will too! However, we want you to be aware that some of the accommodation included in this package may not have the same amenities you’d normally expect from one of our escorted vacations. For instance, some lodges may not have air-conditioning, television, Wi-Fi, etc. This is due to their location within National Parks and other remote locations which we feel offer a much more authentic experience. So go on, unplug and enjoy the view!
