WHAT ARE VOLUNTOURS ?

Worldwide

Participating in a volunteer program while travelling is what voluntourism is all about! Add a new dimension to your travel experience and maximise the satisfaction you get from it, by giving back to the local communities that have welcomed you and taught you so much along the way.

The possibilities for Voluntouring are endless since there are so many projects in need of assistance. You may be asked to tend a garden with a few basic tools in rural Africa or teach English to a group of 30 illiterate children in a tiny mountain village. Choose the program and the location that feels right for you and know that your efforts are greatly appreciated by the people you are helping. It is an enriching and eye-opening experience that creates a deeper consciousness of the world we live in.

TRIP STYLE:

adventure trips

Alternatively from our Hop-on Hop-off Passes, travellers looking for a more structured itinerary, with accommodation included, and a fixed trip length, can choose from our many Adventure Trips all around the world. Adventure Trips are organised trips with set itineraries which can be combined with any other Bamba trip or booked independently.

TRIP TYPES To help you choose the Adventure Trip that is right for you, look for the following logos representing our trip types throughout the brochure: These small group adventures include great local guides, all of your transport, accommodation, and some meals. They give you the chance to move around more easily, step off the beaten path, and immerse yourself in the local culture. You’ll usually share your trip with no more than 12 like-minded travellers, though it is often less.

If you are looking for private arrangements for you and your travel buddy(ies), our private adventures are perfect for you! We offer a wide range of itineraries that come with a private driver/guide most of the time. Our list of adventures in the brochure is just a reference. We can easily help you create and personalise your own private adventure!

Bus tours offer a cheap way to visit touristic sites. You will usually be travelling with a large group by bus, on a fixed schedule. Most of these tours include bus transportation, accommodation and entrance fees. Extras must be paid locally. These are independent tours accompanied by a tour coordinator who will organise the tour but not guide you.

TRIP STYLE:

Self-Guided Adventures

Group tours with rigid departure dates and itineraries just might not be the right fit for your travel style. Travel independently on a fixed itinerary with pre-booked public transportation, included activities with local guides and the accommodation of your choice. Mix and match a series of short adventures and we will book the transportation in between for you.

Your Choice of Accommodation: Choose to stay overnight in hostels, 3-star, or 4-star hotels ahead of time.

Local Guides on Included Activities Only: There’s no tour leader to follow around on these adventures, only local guides for each included activity. You will travel on your own for the public bus portions and for the rest of the time you are travelling which allows you the freedom to do what you want and go where you please in your free time!

Travel Solo or in a Group: Our self-guided adventures don’t require a minimum number of travellers for departure so if you want to go solo, all you have to do is make your booking and you’re off on an exciting independent adventure! Otherwise grab a friend or group of travel buddies and we will arrange everything for you.

Trekking in Nepal is simply stunning! Nepal is home to eight of the top ten highest summits in the world and quite possibly the planet’s most breathtaking landscapes, one of Southeast Asia’s most unique experiences.

You will also come across plenty of other trekkers and new friends to make as you go deeper into the striking Himalayan landscapes.

When to go trekking? The best seasons for trekking are the months of March-June and September-November, when skies are clear and temperatures are warm. Rainy season begins around May-June and the summer monsoon is fully underway

The Client hereby assumes all such risk and does hereby release the Company from all claims and causes of action arising from any damages or injuries or death resulting from these inherent risks. Prior to tour commencement, the Client may be asked to sign an official release of liability form which can be found at http://www.bambaexperience.com/ReleaseForm-c156i0. html GUARANTEED DEPARTURES: The Company guarantees selected departures at their discretion and shall become guaranteed once there is the designated minimum required number of clients confirmed upon it. This guarantee of departure is still subject to force majeure situations, and the Company reserves the right to remove the guaranteed designation at anytime and will not be held accountable for any costs resulting to the client for this action due to circumstances beyond reasonable control.

The Client accepts full responsibility for obtaining all such documents, visas and permits prior to the start of the tour, and is solely responsible for any adverse consequences resulting from missing or defective documentation.

FORCE MAJEURE: The Company shall not be liable in any way to the Client for death, bodily injury, illness, damage, delay or other loss or detriment to person or property, or financial costs both direct and indirect incurred, or for the Company’s failure to commence, perform and/ or complete any duty owed to the Client if such death, delay, bodily injury (including emotional distress or injury), illness, damage or other loss or detriment to person or property is caused by Act of God, war or war like operations, mechanical breakdowns, terrorist activities or threat thereof, civil commotions, labor difficulties, interference by authorities, political disturbance, howsoever and where so ever any of the same may arise or be caused, riot, insurrection and government restraint, fire, extreme weather or any other event or cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of the Company the consequences of which could not have been foreseen or avoided even if all due care had been exercised.

The Company shall have no liability for loss, theft of or damage to baggage or personal effects.

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY: The Client acknowledges he or she will be visiting places where the political, cultural and geographical attributes present certain risks, dangers and physical challenges greater than those present in his or her daily lives. By booking travel with the Company, the Client acknowledges she or he has considered the potential risks, dangers and challenges, and expressly assumes the risks attendant to such travel conditions.

If satisfaction is not reached, the Client must contact the Company representative or local Office Manager whilst on tour in order that the Company is provided the opportunity to rectify the matter. Failure to indicate dissatisfaction whilst on tour will result in the Client’s ability to claim compensation from the Company being reduced or extinguished. If satisfaction is still not reached through these means while the Client remains on the tour, then any further complaint must be put in writing to the Company via its Agents or directly to head office at sales@bambaexperience.com, within 30 days of the end of the tour.
