ALTERATION TO TOURS. 
Should we meet with difficulty in obtaining hotel reservations 
or in operating our planned route, we reserve the right to alter 
the route and night stopping places. In the case of this being 
necessary no refund will be made. 
TERMS OF BUSINESS. 
A deposit of 25 per cent, is required on booking, the balance

Refund of the deposit will be made in case of cancellation at 
least seven days before departure, less any expenses that have

RESPONSIBILITY. 
We are insured against normal legal liability arising out of 
injuries received by passengers while in our vehicles. Subject

or ship connections, non-adherence to planned routes or time 
schedules, illness contracted on tour, alleged inadequate or 
inferior hotel accommodation, or out of any cause whatsoever. 
HOTELS. 
Most African hotels whilst clean and reasonably comfortable 
are not luxurious and not all of them have rooms with private 
bathrooms. We book rooms with bath where they are obtain¬ 
able at the best available hotels and superior accommodation 
in the Game Reserves if available. 
FARES. 
The fares include all expenses in connection with the car and 
courier, accommodation at best hotels, meals and excursions

personal expenses of the passengers. Tips can be included by 
special arrangement.

AFRICA 
The throbbing drums and chanting porters of Livingstone’s Africa are gone for ever. In their place we see a vast, vital continent 
awakening to the twentieth century and racing to catch up with modernity. However, Africa’s tourist attractions, her great Game 
Reserves, fantastic scenery and much of her colourful native life have remained unchanged—only, now, they are within easy 
reach of all. Good new roads criss-cross the landscape and new hotels are springing up everywhere offering comfortable if not 
luxurious hospitality to the tourist. Road travel still remains the best and often the only means of seeing Africa and what better 
way than with a trained courier driver and comfortable modern car. 
All the tours in this pamphlet are based on the services of African Car Hire, largest firm of car tour operators in Africa, who in 
the past 40 years have established themselves as the pioneers and acknowledged authorities on car travel in Africa south of the 
Sahara. Their trained and experienced white English-speaking courier drivers ensure a safe, pleasant and interesting safari. 
On all car tours passengers enjoy an individually planned all-inclusive itinerary with car and courier driver at their sole disposal. 
We strongly recommend this type of tounfor those requiring the very best service and especially for keen photographers.
