A non-returnable deposit of 20% of the full cost of the tour, is required to confirm a booking. Once received the client will have been deemed to have entered into a contract with Solomon Berhe Tours accepting the Conditions of Booking.

A payment of 50% of the remaining balance is due three months before the departure date.

Final balancing payment is due on arrival in Addis Ababa. This may be in cash in dollars or sterling equivalent in large denominations. If clients prefer they may send the payment by bank transfer two weeks before departure date.

In the event of cancellation within one month of the departure date the second payment of 50% of the cost is also non-returnable.

Cancellation within one week of departure may result in further charges being levied.

Travel Insurance is mandatory. Clients are responsible for arranging their own comprehensive travel insurance. Full medical cover is essential. We strongly recommend that insurance is taken out at the time you confirm your booking so that you are covered for all eventualities.

Bookings are accepted on the understanding that there may be possible risks on any holiday and they participate in the full knowledge of such risks. Solomon Berhe Tours cannot be held responsible for conditions that may arise that are beyond their control. These include any change in government policy that may create problems with fuel supply, a chosen route by car and flight times. Unusual weather conditions such as flooding, political unrest or a failure of services supplied by other agencies.

Solomon Berhe Tours reserve the right to alter the itinerary after consultation with the client, if any of the above conditions mentioned arise.

Clients are responsible for arranging their own visa and should be in possession of a passport valid for more than six months. They are now available on arrival from the UK, but this can result in some delay.

There are no compulsory vaccinations required at this time but clients should seek medical advise from their own doctor particularly with regard to protection against Malaria.

NB. If the cost of internal flights with Ethiopian Airlines increases after a booking has been made, any unavoidable surcharge will be passed onto the clients and will be payable before the start of the tour.
