Tours

Guyana is generally hot and humid. On most morning we will be up and out very early to take advantage of the cooler temperature and wildlife activity. Our tour does not require a high level of fitness but participants should be in good general health as some of the birding will be done on foot and may require walking for several hours at times but at (slow pace). Should you have any physical limitation please let us know in advance before you leave your destination. Accommodation is generally simple but comfortable, throughout they are no air-condition at the interior lodges but cool at nights, that’s Guyana temperature! Some interior local roads can be bumpy at times based on conduction. The vehicles we used are generally 4×4 and sometime open tops so at times we can be either sitting or standing to get a better view of possible wildlife or the forest. Apart from your hotel in Georgetown, none of the interior Lodges have hot shower. None of the interior lodges accept credit cards, on arrival you can change money at our banks or at a cambio however all the lodges accept US dollars. Mosquito nets are provided throughout the lodges, you can expect some biting insect like mosquitos, sandflies, (noseeams). The risk of catching malaria is low. Electricity is available at all the lodges, generator or solar power. Although the lodges is 110V and the outlets/plugs are USA type.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

The cost of this tour does not include the price of your international flight to and from Guyana. You are responsible for arranging these flights to and from Georgetown. I recommend that you arrive a day early to rest and adjust to the time zone before our early morning departure on day two.

TRIP INSURANCE

The purchase of trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. Leon Moore Nature Experience (LMNE) cannot accept liability for airline cancellations or delays or penalties incurred by the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets or other expenses incurred by tour participants in preparing for this tour.

IMPORTANT

On domestic Schedule flights within Guyana, passengers are allowed a total of 20Lbs or 9kg of luggage on Aircraft; if one is over the limit, he or she is charge US$ 1 or GY$ 200 Guyana dollars for every pound over weight. It is important that clients must provide his or her body and luggage weight in advance so this can be provided to the domestic airline in Guyana.

Because most of our clients comes from either north America or the UK; we know that clients would sometimes have to travel with weather clothing/extra jacket for cold weather; these and any other clothing or items he or she wish to leave in within our storage, arrangements can be made to facilitate this.

For convenience and value, a great choice is to join a scheduled group departure. Because we reserve blocks of space in advance, we’re able to secure the best prices for accommodations and services. Plus you get to travel with a small group of like-minded nature enthusiasts and make some new friends while experiencing the adventure of a lifetime! Also, if you’re open to sharing a room with another traveler, you can potentially avoid costly single supplement fees. Most departures require at least 4 to operate and can accommodate no more than 10 visitors, but get in touch with us if your situation requires special planning.
