Optional Excursion

Dave & Susi plan to take one of their all time dream vacations between the two Columbus Global Village Team missions to Botswana: an African Safari. Team members are invited to join them, or they may make other extended travel arrangements if they prefer.

Dave and Susi are busy researching all the best that Botswana Safaris have to offer, and will be updating this page as they learn more and begin to choose specific accommodations, activities, etc. Dave & Susi's love of nature and inexpensive travel will define a trip that might not be the lap of luxury but will feature an excellent guide and outstanding wildlife viewing potential. They will actively seek out the comments and desires of any team members who choose to tour with them as they make the final selections.

Payment Responsibility, Cancellation, etc

Dave and Susi are researching the possible trips and making arrangements for themselves. They are very willing to include others, but their responsibility in doing so extends only to the convenience of facilitating their discussion with the travel agents and providers. Each traveler will have their own separate relationship with the agents and providers, and will individually be responsible for all payments, cancellation consequences, etc.
