Dragoman Overland

Great Itineraries

Dragoman offers great itineraries, after having taken extra effort to design the trips to offer freedom, flexibility, and the option to take your own time to explore. This gives you the ability to really create your own experience, with all the benefits of a group tour.

Having used their years of experience to hone their itineraries, they make sure to include the best of the destination, while not rushing their travelers. While spending more time in each of the places, it means you benefit by not just ticking off the main sights, but by also being able to gain an in-depth understanding of the local area.

Off The Beaten Track

Dragoman ensures that you well and truly get off the beaten track. As their trips cover entire continents in Asia, Africa and the Americas, going places that others just can’t get to. A few examples of less known places they visit include the spectacular Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenistan, a trip to a remote Ethiopian village to meet the Hamar or Mursi tribes, crossing the Bolivian altiplano while going past the Lagunas Colorado and Verde or in Burma taking a trip to a school run by Monks.

While going on these adventures, Dragoman ensures that you will really be getting involved with the local communities. They are committed to the idea of “giving back” to the places and people in the areas they visit, while making sure the itineraries have room for travelers to interact with local customs and cultures. These grass roots projects are an important part of the tours that Dragoman runs, and the experience they offer their travelers.

This comprehensive set of measures is planned to give our customers confidence in booking and travelling on trips in late 2020 and beyond. The key to these measures is flexibility, safety and financial security. We are now offering:

New Covid-19 and Pandemic insurance

• Flexible transfers
• Flexible balances
• Later balance due dates
• No cancellation charges if you transfer to another trip
• Honouring 2020 prices, including all discounts
• Cast iron bonding through ABTOT

Financial Security

We are fully bonded through our ABTOT bond, so that client’s monies are fully protected in event of our insolvency.

We work with Campbell Irvine in the UK who has put together a new Travel Insurance Policy which covers travel and medical issues relating to Covid-19 or other pandemics, including cancellation and curtailment cover. Full details on this insurance will be available for anyone thinking of travelling from early July onwards. Travellers travelling with Dragoman, must have proof of an insurance policy covering Covid, including medical, repatriation, quarantine, cancellation and curtailment cover.

Travellers can transfer an existing booking without charge up to 28 days before departure. Exceptions will be any trips requiring permits (56 days for W Walk or Inca Trail and for Gorilla trips etc). This is limited to transfers to trips in 2020 and 2021.

Travellers do not need to pay their balance until 28 days before departure. Exceptions will be any trips requiring permits (56 days for W Walk or Inca Trail and for gorilla etc). This is limited to trips in 2020 and 2021.

If travellers cancel their trip before Balance Due Date, the deposit can be transferred to another available trip of their choice. This does not apply immediately to trips with permits, W Walk, Inca Trail or Gorilla trips, but these will be reviewed on a case by case basis to see whether we are able to transfer the permits to later dates. This is limited to transfers to trips in 2020 and 2021.

If a trip is cancelled by the client on or before the Balance Due Date, then there is loss of the deposit unless another trip is booked immediately under our Flexible Deposit Scheme. From the balance due date onwards, cancellation charges will be 100%. Again, this is limited to 2020 and 2021 departures.

For those who would like to transfer their trip to a 2021 departure, we will honour the 2020 price including any discount that they may have received.
