9. Do you provide Halal or Vegetarian/Vegan food?
We always do our best to provide food that suits the specific needs of each individual, however, please keep in mind that Halal meat is not provided on our travels since we travel to rural locations where Halal meat is not available, also it is not in our tour budget. If you require Halal, please consider yourself a vegetarian on our trips. Where feasible, we do our best to cater to everyone's needs but as it is always indicated in our signup forms "at some points you may be obliged to pick and choose from what is supplied".
