Just been to look on the Namibia tour info, and the September date appears to have disappeared, as I think have some others. Does this mean that you have decided to cancel these dates? I know there were at least 2 of us who were going to book the September 7th date, and that you had one booked already.

Please put it back!

Cheers,

Hils

We have very low numbers on this date, so it has been cancelled. We do have many other dates available throughout the year, but if your heart was really set on this date there is a Travelsphere tour which goes to Namibia.

Kindest regards,

Thanks for coming back to me. I don't seem to be able to find any Namibia holiday in either the Travelsphere brochure or online?

If September is definitely cancelled, then I may look at October 12th - please could you tell me how many are currently booked for this date and the usual male/female/ages etc.

Cheers,

Hils

10 months ahead seems incredibly early to cancel

I had better start sorting out my 2016 holidays !

I'm very surprised to see that the Sept departure for Namibia has been cancelled due to low numbers when it's still ten months away! It doesn't seem to make sense unless there were technical difficulties in operating this date? Also as far as I can see Travelsphere doesn't have a Namibia tour - it's not on the website or in the brochure, unless it is due to be added as a new tour in the next brochure and Monty has let the cat out of the bag!!!

Cheers,

Bob

PS I loved this tour so much, having done it in May and I urge anyone with an interest to book it, you won't regret it!!

Ahh I was wondering whether you would notice the revealed secret...you are all too clever!

Hils - At the moment there are only 2 people booked on the October date, of which there is one woman and one man who are both in their 70's.

Roamer and Bob - We have decided to cancel this date in particular, as this had the lowest number of travellers on it. It means that we can fill up our other dates to ensure the tour can run. I hope this makes sense.

Avocet - Well, we are just putting the final touches to the new brochure so I am sure it will be very, very soon.

Kindest regards,

Monty

I'm also surprised that JY are cancelling holidays so early on, although I do understand the disappointment when you've booked a holiday which is then cancelled.

Just out of curiosity has the June departure for Borneo be cleared to operate? I know it's very early to ask but JY appears to be doing a lot of forward planning.

Thanks.

Aha! So now you all at JYHQ have an idea how carefully we all study the JY/TS brochures - our holidays are very important to us!!

I hope the other Namibia dates get booked up and run and the TS tour is also a success. It is an amazing country with so much to offer!

All the best,

Bob

To me this still seems a bit early to cancel a holiday. You say there are 2 booked at the moment for October, but reading from the above posts it seems there was 1 already booked for September and 3 of us thinking about it but just not got around to it, (for me I was going to book after Christmas), so, if we had already booked that would have made 4 for September. Would the October holiday have been cancelled instead?

I fully accept that JY are looking at the current figures but my question now is, is this early decision to cancel a holiday this far ahead something new and, just how early do we have to book to avoid a holiday being cancelled? We are talking of 10 months ahead here! Also are there any more holidays that you know of that have already had dates cancelled this far ahead through lack of numbers.

Many thanks

Avocet

I'm pleased to say that the June departure to Borneo has been cleared to operate.

Kindest regards,

Monty

I cannot believe that they have taken Namibia off for the September departure. I am not sure why Just You would take it off now. I would of waited until January as it is obvious a number of people was going to book after Christmas.

Not sure if I can book the October departure

Back to the drawing board lets hope that they have some interesting holidays coming in January.

Warm regards Julie
