| 9.15 | SAFARI GUESTS: 1)Delegates leaving on GW Safaris will be collected and will depart on their 'over-land' adventure - first stop Ngoma via Chobe National Park 2) Delegates on KW, CR or B safaris will be collected and taken to Kasane Aiport for their air-transfers.

|
| 9.15 & 11.15 | CHARTER FLIGHTS We are still waiting confirmation to bring the first small flight forward to 9.15 am so that those delegates forced on to SQ405 from JNB to SNG will have a little more time. ( we do not have exact times or routings yet) |
|
| 9.15 | TRANSFERS TO Victoria Falls
Airport These will be by pick-up at all Lodges (if required) and the first will depart to make the first SA flight from VFA - shortly after noon. NOTE: These transfers must be organised and paid for through the registration desk during the meeting. |
