1. The scheduled Wilderness Safaris Zimbabwe road transfer services and the Wilderness Air Kasane/Victoria Falls/Livingstone services will tie in with the Wilderness Air Botswana circuit
arrival/departure times in and out of Kasane. Therefore the Wilderness road and air services from Victoria Falls / Livingstone to Kasane will depart at 07:30 and 11:20 respectively, for the
10:30 and 14:20 departures out of Kasane. Likewise the Wilderness road and air services from Kasane to Victoria Falls / Livingstone are timed to connect with the Kasane arrivals.

2. Due to a decision made by the Civil Aviation Authorities, we are no longer able to include one left hand orbit and one right hand orbit over the Falls on the air transfers between Victoria Falls
and Livingstone / Kasane or vice versa. Taking this and timings of both the Wilderness Air circuit and commercial flights into account, if guests wish to see the Victoria Falls from the air,
and / or experience other activities in the area, we recommend booking a minimum stay of two nights in either Victoria Falls or Livingstone.

3. All flying to / from camps not in the Wilderness portfolio will be serviced by our preferred flying partner in Botswana on a seat rate basis or can be booked with Wilderness Air on a sole use
basis (subject to availability) including flights from a Wilderness camp to a non-Wilderness camp and vice versa. Note that the costs of these flights are subject to the same circumstances
beyond our control, including changes to Government and / or Airport taxes, navigation fees, landing fees, fuel prices, maintenance, industry increases or any other unforeseen costs.

4. In general, the flying circuit allows for guests to experience a morning activity on the day of departure or an afternoon activity on the day of arrival. On occasion this may not be possible
depending on the timetables of the scheduled commercial airlines and / or the circuit routes.

5. As a result of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve closure times in conjunction with the travelling time to / from camp, guests are not able to depart Kalahari Plains Camp for a morning
departure out of Maun Airport. Similarly guests arriving in Maun Airport off scheduled flights at 15:00 or later, are not able to connect the same day to Kalahari Plains Camp regardless of
whether the circuit or private charter services are used.

These important guidelines below must please be noted for all air transfers with Wilderness Air
1. As safety and a quality air service is a strict focus for us, it is vital that we manage all weight and balance calculations ahead of time. We therefore require the weights of all guests prior to
travel. Note that additional weight allowance on our aircraft does not need to be purchased for passengers weighing more than 100 kg (220 lb).

2. Luggage, including both check-in and carry-on (handbag, backpack, camera equipment , sleep apnoea machine, etc.), is restricted to 20 kg (44 lb) per person travelling on seat rates.

3. Only soft bags will be accepted - no frames or rigid structures can be transported as they physically cannot fit into the aircraft. Wheels on a bag are only permissible if they are not part of a
solid frame or rigid structure. A collapsible wheeled luggage frame / trolley (separate to the bag) is allowed, as long as the basic dimensions are similar to that of the bag.

4. The maximum dimensions of the soft bags which can be accommodated are as follows: 25 cm (10 inches) wide x 30 cm (12 inches) high and 62 cm (24 inches) long. Should your guest require
a bag, we do have a supply of soft canvas carry-all bags at a reasonable cost. Please note that the baggage compartments on light aircraft are only 25 cm high (10 inches), so pilots must be
able to manipulate the bag into the compartment.

5. These limits are applicable to guests travelling on a seat rate basis so may differ if guests have booked sole use of a sector/s, a private charter, helicopter transfer or scenic flight option in
which case the maximum's depend on the type of aircraft / helicopter and the number of passengers booked.

6. Note that weight allowances on non-Wilderness Air aircraft may vary. Should guests be flying a combination of Wilderness Air and non-Wilderness Air flights, guests are to please ensure that
they adhere to Wilderness Air luggage restrictions.

7. We do not anticipate any problems with stored luggage being damaged or stolen, however, guests must ensure that they are in possession of full travel insurance including luggage cover.
Neither Wilderness Safaris, Wilderness Adventures, Wilderness Explorations, Wilderness Collection   and / or Wilderness Air, nor any person, agent acting for, through or on behalf of said
companies, will be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from any cause whatsoever.
