the safety, welfare and well-being of the group as a whole,

or if the leader considers that the passengers general well-

being will be put at risk by continuing with the tour, safari or

other activity, the passenger may be asked to leave the

tour, safari or other activity without the right to any refund.

All personal effects are at the sole risk of the passenger at
