This would be a perfect tour next year to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday April 21th, 2021. Will this trip be offered in the Spring, 2021?
Greetings Joyce Boyd. Dr. Rashidi said the tour is still planned, but only for the dates indicated (August 2021). However the COVID pandemic has made everyone’s plans tenuous, and the travel industry is no exception. So unfortunately I can’t provide you with any other information.
Please provide updated information regarding the tours for next year when possible
Greetings Bess Annette Arnold. Per Dr Rashidi, the two trips (Uganda and Kmt) are still planned for 2021. However, the Covid pandemic is having a great impact, and the travel agent is still trying to confirm the dates; when they get them, it will be posted to this page. So please continue to check back regularly to this site for the updated information.
