Health & Safety
The health and well-being of our travelers are of paramount importance to us.
As regulations on international travel evolve, we ask that you remain open-minded and flexible. Things might not always play out exactly as planned, meaning potential alterations to events, meals, accommodation, transportation and activities.
We hope the following information will help prepare you for your holiday:
Before Your Holiday
Entry Requirements
We will endeavour to notify you of holiday-specific health guidelines before your departure. Depending on regional entry requirements, you may need to provide proof of medical tests, proof of current vaccinations, proof of medical insurance and/or other government-required forms.
It is imperative that you arrive at your destination armed with this information. We cannot stress enough the importance of this. If you fail to comply with local health Rules and Regulations, you may be refused entry to the region and be unable to participate in your holiday.
It is your responsibility to be aware of and to comply with all such requirements and laws. The rules change quickly and often; continue to inform yourself right up to and during your holiday.
It remains the responsibility of each traveler to:
- carry and provide to local authorities and service providers such proof of vaccination, proof of medical testing, proof of medical insurance and all other government-mandated forms required by local authorities in the country(ies) of destination; and
- ensure that they have the appropriate travel documents related to this holiday for their nationality. Mikutu is not liable for any expenses or costs arising from any traveler being prohibited from entering a country scheduled to be visited on a holiday.
Packing List
In the event that you are required to quarantine unexpectedly, we recommend including extra medication and other necessities in your carry-on to cover an additional 14 days or such longer period of quarantine as may be imposed by local authorities.
Travel Insurance Insurance
We strongly recommend all our travelers purchase travel insurance. Now more than ever, it is important to be covered should you need to leave your holiday due to injury or infection.
On Your Holiday
YOUR ON- HOLIDAY HEALTH
Any traveler with a positive COVID-19 test result will be required to follow all local health protocols. We will do our best to assist you, however, any costs associated with cancellations, delays or medical needs are your responsibility.
For the safety of the rest of the group, our guides, partners and suppliers, any travelers with a positive COVID-19 test who refuses to follow local protocols may be asked to leave the holiday.
LOCAL HEALTH PROTOCOLS
To keep your group, your guides and the communities you visit safe, we ask that you kindly follow all local health protocols and regulations where you travel. If you are unable to do so, you may be required to leave your holiday. Local guidelines may include (but are not limited to):
o Masks/PPE
o Maintaining physical distance
o Hand washing and sanitizing
o COVID-19 tests for suspected exposure
o Required self-isolation and/or quarantine
FAMILY TRAVEL
If you are travelling with children, please ensure they follow local health protocols. If they are unable to do so, both you and your children may be required to leave your holiday.
HOLIDAY MODIFICATION
Due to health and safety concerns, Mikutu may, at its discretion, need to modify your holiday and its activities. These modifications would be as necessary to keep you, ourselves and our guides safe while on the road. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Once a holiday is on the road, we have fully committed to all payments (hotels, local guides, restaurants, transfers etc.) and therefore will not refund travelers should their holiday be cut short or altered due to illness, failure to comply with local health protocols, or any other reason.
