If the number of travellers is smaller, the person occupying the single room also pays the single room supplement. Depending on the occupancy of the hotels and the weather conditions, the tour route may change.
The price is for 3 people + driver and guide, and this offer is for those who do not have high-level off-road experience. However, if the applicant is experienced and has good skills in driving a buggy off-road, the price is still calculated per buggy.
The price is given taking into account all services, and may change based on changes in hotels and services along the way — for example, if the client does not want to sleep in a 5-star hotel and a family hotel is enough.
