Your stay on site requires you to set its duration, the sites to be discovered, the accommodation according to your choices.
You will be advised by the agency with which the dialogue must be initiated as soon as possible. Your first contact with the agency should ideally take place at least 3 months before the date you have planned for the start of your stay, in order to be able to best meet your requests, and to allow you to buy your plane ticket at the best price, and to complete the visa formalities in due time.
The agency's services do not include the purchase of plane tickets for international flights or the obtaining of visas, which are therefore your sole responsibility.
For a trip to Djibouti and on request the agency can take over the visa application via internet.
Ideally the sequence of operations is as follows:
In any case, your visa application must be made after the purchase of the ticket for the international flight.
Each stay is subject to a special rate that depends on the number of people in the group, the duration of the stay, the choice of accommodation and restaurants, and the sites visited and activities carried out.
The agency does not charge any margin on accommodation and catering services, the price of which is strictly identical to that paid to the service providers by the agency, which passes on to its clients any price reductions that may be granted to it by the service providers.
For equal service, our prices are decreasing according to the number of people in the group of travelers, because the agency reflects on the customer price, the reduction of fixed costs caused by a larger number of travelers.
Half of the price is paid by bank transfer when booking on the bank account of which we provide the RIB. The other half will be credited by a new transfer to the account of the agency, 30 days at the latest before your arrival.
The agency will consider as void any request for which the payment of the price of the entire trip has not been credited to its bank account under the conditions set out above; if the deposit of half the price has been paid, it will be reimbursed less any amounts already paid to our service providers and not reimbursed to the agency by them.
Under no circumstances can the agency be held responsible for delays or cancellations of international flights.
In the event that the beginning of the stay is delayed for all travellers in the group as a result of flight delays or problems in obtaining a visa or any other cause, only the amounts corresponding to the accommodation and catering services not used by the clients will be reimbursed, provided that these amounts are returned to the agency by the service providers if the agency has made an advance payment to them; the agency will also reimburse the amounts corresponding to the fuel costs not paid by it.
In the event that the start of the stay is delayed for one or more of the travellers in the group(b) only the amounts corresponding to the unused accommodation and food services corresponding to the number of delayed passengers shall be reimbursed, provided that these amounts are returned to the agency by the service providers if it has made an advance payment to them, after deduction, where appropriate, of any additional costs incurred by the agency in order to integrate the delayed passengers into the journey in progress.
In the event that the entire stay is cancelled for all travellers in the group, whatever the cause of the cancellation by the travellers, the agency will only reimburse the amounts corresponding to all the accommodation and catering services of the stay not used by the clients, as well as the services of specific activities included in the price of the stay and not used, provided that these amounts are returned to the agency by the service providers if it has made an advance payment to them; the agency will also reimburse the amounts corresponding to the fuel costs not paid by it.
In the event that the stay is cancelled entirely for one or more of the travellers in the groupIn the event of cancellation, only the amounts corresponding to the unused accommodation and food services corresponding to the number of travellers who have cancelled their stay will be reimbursed, provided that these amounts are returned to the agency by the service providers if the agency has made an advance payment to them.
In the event that the length of stay should be shortened for all travellers in the group, the agency will only reimburse the amounts corresponding to all accommodation and catering services during the stay not used by the client, as well as to the services of specific activities included in the price of the stay and not used, provided that these amounts are returned to the agency by the service providers if the agency has made an advance payment to them; the agency will also reimburse the amounts corresponding to fuel costs not paid by it.
In the event that the length of stay should be shortened for one or more travellers in the groupIn the case of the Agency, only the amounts corresponding to the unused accommodation and food services corresponding to the number of travellers who shortened their stay shall be reimbursed, provided that these amounts are returned to the Agency by the service providers if it has made an advance payment to them, after deduction of the additional costs incurred by the Agency in organising the early return of the traveller(s) concerned.
In the situations set out above, refunds will be made by the agency by transfer to the bank account of each of the travellers concerned by the delay, cancellation or reduction in the length of stay, after providing the agency with the RIB and the identity card of the traveller(s) concerned.
You have paid your accommodation, food and transport costs at the agency; however, you will still need cash in local currency for your personal purchases and out-of-pocket expenses not covered in the price of your stay.
The VISA card is very practical, allowing the withdrawal of local currency from ATMs in Djibouti and Ethiopia. Make sure with your bank that your bank card will allow you to withdraw money on the spot.
Bring euros or dollars that you can change into birrs or Djibouti francs.
Some hotels and department stores also accept payment in euros or dollars, or even by bank cheque.
1 dollar = 177.72 francs djibouti (fixed parity between these two currencies)
