We have suggested possible extension options for most of the tours in this brochure, however our specialist consultants would also be delighted to design a tailor-made extension, either pre or post tour, to fit in with your particular interests. Please note that tour extensions are operated on the same basis as Private Journeys although, where appropriate, transfers may be shared. WHEN TO TRAVEL Although Africa is a year-round destination, the changing climate throughout the year can have a major impact on the timing of trips to specific regions and pages 70 - 71 has detailed charts showing the average temperature and rainfall figures. These pages also mention other factors that should help to determine when to travel, such as when wildlife viewing is most rewarding. ACCOMMODATION There is not room to describe all the hotels in this brochure, however, many of the best properties are described and depicted in the Hotel Portfolio sections and the facilities of almost all the hotels are listed in the Hotel Guide on our website: www. coxandkings.co.uk MEAL BASIS On all tour pages the meals included are shown on each day of the itinerary.

The difference in definition between the two supplements is that a `Single' traveller is someone occupying a single room whilst travelling with one or more other people, whilst a `Sole' traveller is someone travelling on their own. If you are planning to travel on a group tour as a single traveller you should look at the `Single Supplement' price, however, if you are planning to add an extension to that tour you should read down the `Sole Supplement' column and these prices take into account the fact that you are only `sole' on the extension section.
