GLOSSARY

BB = Bed and breakfast

FI = Fully inclusive

JB = Jungle board Basis (Bed, All Meals and Safaris on shared jeep basis)

Please Note: The new safari regulation being implemented by the park authorities, has made it mandatory

for all registered safari vehicles of the park, whether privately owned or belonging to the lodges, be

allocated to visitors on a rostered basis. Thus, vehicles from our lodge cannot be any longer guaranteed for

safaris but a vehicle from the day’s roster from the common pool for vehicles will be used for the activity.

Though this change is being challenged in the courts there has been no conclusion on the lawsuit yet.

On Wednesdays, afternoon game drives are not operational in Madhya Pradesh Parks as per government

regulations. Optional activities are offered to our guests at the lodge which they can take when they arrive

at the lodge.

When travelling with andBeyond your safety is of paramount importance to us. We have implemented various Covid -19

related safety measures, processes and procedures (“Infectious Diseases: Health and Safety Protocol”) at our lodges and

camps to ensure we create an environment that is both safe and hygienic when you stay with us, which protocol was

developed by taking guidance from guidelines and hygiene policies prescribed and published by the World Health

Organisation, the South African National Department of Health and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases of

South Africa and all the relevant health authorities of the destinations we operate in. Should you wish to view our Infectious

Diseases: Health and Safety Protocol, please request this information from any of sales or reservation team and we will

share this information with you.

Your itinerary may include accommodation services at properties (i.e. accommodation at non andBeyond branded lodges

and /or camps) and / or ancillary services such as transfers, tours, and activities that will not be provided by andBeyond

but by independent third party owners and / or operators that are not owned and / or managed by andBeyond (“Third Party

Service Providers”). Whilst all Third Party Service Providers of andBeyond have committed to implement similar processes

and procedures as to our Infectious Diseases: Health and Safety Protocol to try and protect guests making use of their

services, andBeyond is not in a position to validate or dictate their health and safety protocols which will vary between

party) contract an infectious disease (including Covid-19) when using the services of a Third Party Service Provider. The

same will apply in respect of public areas (i.e. landmarks, public venues, sightseeing venues, etc.) which you may wish to

visit whilst staying at either our lodges / camps or properties owned by Third Party Service Provider as neither andBeyond

nor Third Party Service Providers have any control over health and safety protocols followed at public areas or any action(s)

of a member of the public which may cause an infection of an infectious disease.

As with any protocol the measure of success in implementing a process or procedure under a protocol will be determined

by the level of compliance and adherence to the relevant processes and procedures prescribed by the relevant protocol.

Whilst andBeyond will ensure full compliance by its management, employees and contractors with the Infectious Disease:

Health and Safety Protocol, andBeyond cannot accept any liability in the event of a guest(s) contracting an infectious disease

(including Covid 19) as a direct or indirect result of complying or adhering to andBeyond’s Infectious Diseases: Health and

Safety Protocol.
