If I'm booking a few trips at once, can I get a discount?Top
Of course we reward loyalty. On your second PANDA trip we offer a 10% discount and on your third trip, 20% discount is offered.

Do you have regular specials?Top
Yes, we have monthly feature from 5% to 20% OFF trips. We will select one popular trip each month for our clients. The departure of monthly feature trips will be guaranteed.

PANDA also regularly offer 10% OFF trips when the departure date is coming up soon and the trip is not yet full. Book an PANDA Special today, pay in full, and save 10% off the regular price! This offer is available only on selected departures and only while seats are still available.

Is the trip I book definitely going to run?Top
Within 49 days of scheduled departure your PANDA trip is guaranteed to depart, provided we have received your final payment. We are so confident of this guarantee that, in the rare instance we are forced to cancel a trip within 49 days of departure, you are entitled to undertake any other PANDA tour of the same value free of charge AND you will get a full refund for the cancelled trip! Please note that this guarantee cannot apply if a tour is cancelled for reasons beyond our control, such as natural disaster or political unrest. Check booking conditions for full details.

How do I know which trips are available?Top
Have a look at the dates and prices section of each specific trip, the right hand column is the availability column. In this 'availability' column, 'REQUEST' means that there are only a few places left on the tour but by booking immediately, you stand a good chance of securing a place on the trip. 'AVAILABLE' means that there are several places left on the tour, but the sooner you book, the better.

Can I just do part of the tour?Top
Unfortunately it is not possible to just do sections of the tour. Some of the longer tours are made up of smaller tours completed back to back, and hence might be possible to book separately.

Does the tour price include international flights?Top
The prices you see on our website and in our brochures are quoted 'land only'. We recognize that everybody has different airline preferences and affiliations and may choose to book their international flight with their travel agent, directly with an airline or via an online site.

How far in advance do I need to book?Top
There is no guarantee as to when other people will book and hence when the tour will fill up. Our advice is that as soon as you know which one you want to book, don't delay - put your name down as soon as possible, that way you won't be disappointed.

However, we can usually take bookings for most of our tours right up until the departure date if there are spaces left, so have a look at the availability, and if there's still space we'll gladly take your booking!

When is the final payment due?Top
The final payment is due in full 49 days before the departure of your trip.

Which are your favourite trips?Top
It's a question we get asked a lot...which one would you do if you had the choice? The answer is not simple. We truly believe that all of our itineraries are exceptional, and each one is designed to fit different people's needs. It's all dependent on how much time you have, which activities you like, and most importantly where you want to travel!

Can I book through a travel agent?Top
Yes, of course. If you have a favourite travel agent, by all means book through them.
