SUNDANCER PROMOTIONS - Upcoming Events

ACCOMMODATION
Guests are accommodated in the Dolphin Beachcamp, right on the beach for 5 days/4 nights in Reeded or Wooden Cabins – both supplied with beds, linen & mozzie nets. Wooden cabins have plug point and fan. Due to the limited electricity we request that you do not use hairdryers nor charge laptops. (Cellphones are fine). There are ablution blocks within the camp exclusive to dolphin clients. Please bring your own towels. Please indicate on booking form your choice of cabins and sleeping requirements as well as dietary requirements.

CATERING
Included in the full tour package is 4 x brunches and 3 x dinners at the Dolphin Camp. All meals are set menus and a vegetarian option is available. We will be going as a group to a nearby restaurant for dinner (probably Saturday night) & this will be at your cost. (Credit cards accepted by the restaurant). Coffee and tea available throughout your stay. Please bring your own 'fancy brews' or herbal teas, water as well as wines and spirits. There is an ‘honesty’ bar with basics available in the Dolphin Camp.

TRAVELLING AND OVERNIGHTER
For Gautengers : It is recommended that the group overnight on the way up to Mozambique at Casa Mia Guest House in Pongola at a cost of appr. R330.00pp sharing - dinner, bed and breakfast. (Only cash or cheques accepted - to be paid direct to them). This is a 5,5 hr drive from Johannesburg. Please indicate on booking form whether you would like to make a reservation. (Does not apply to Durbanites). The drive back from Mozambique border to Johannesburg is about 8,5 hours long and we usually drive straight through coming back. The border is about a 4,5 hour drive from Durban.

BORDER TRANSFERS
The cost of this is included in full tour package. Border collection time is scheduled at about 11.30am but should the group be larger, we would have to split into two times. This will be confirmed closer to the time. If you are driving direct, please do not be late. Full border transfer rate will be charged if you miss the border and we have to make another trip out for you. Please advise me of your departure time and keep me posted of progress whilst travelling.

LAUNCHES
Full tours for 5 days / 4 nights include 4 launches as part of the package. Additional launches can be booked and paid for in Ponta at appr. R250 per launch. Launches may be cancelled due to bad weather/seas, in which case there will be no refunds. NB: On the afternoon of arrival, clients will need to attend a snorkelling course and in the evening usually before dinner, you will be briefed on a strict Code of Conduct which details rules and regulations that have to be followed while interacting with wild dolphins. Both the snorkelling course and the briefing are the only compulsory items on your agenda and are scheduled for approx. 3 and 5pm on the day of arrival. Note that we will only be snorkelling with the dolphins (not diving with full diving gear) and we only go out to the backline where the resident bottlenose pod feed and play. Depending on the size of the group, there are usually two groups launching each morning with alternating times on each day.

SCUBA DIVING
For those of you who are qualified divers, please note dives during peak seasons have to be booked and paid for in JHB office. Please advise so we can arrange for you to avoid disappointment. Otherwise, divers can make arrangements once there.

BOOKINGS AND CANCELLATIONS
NB: Bookings can only be confirmed once a 50% non-refundable deposit has been received. Deposits to be made immediately. Final payment must be made by one month prior to departure . Should you cancel, no refunds will be made on the deposit paid. Tours cancelled will be carried over for a maximum of 3 months, if prior arrangements have been made with us. No refunds if tour not cancelled at least one week prior to date of departure (within reason) and no refunds for no shows or late arrivals. In genuine cases where it has been discussed and agreed with both parties, please allow at least one month for refunds.

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
You can choose to drive up in your own vehicle or share lifts with other drivers. Only 4x4s can drive through the border, otherwise cars are parked at the border in a safe parking area for the duration of the time we spend in Mozambique at a cost of about R25/day. Please indicate on the form which option you prefer.

PASSPORTS AND VISAS
Please check that you have a valid passport and that it is valid for 6 months after return. South African citizens no longer need to arrange a visa for Mozambique, but British passport holders and other internationals will need visas. We can refer you to someone who can help you here or visas can be purchased at the border (Appr. R180).

MALARIA PROPHYLACTICS
Although Ponta d’Oura is not a high risk malaria area, it is in the malaria belt so please ensure that you take the necessary precautions against malaria. You will need to see your doctor for a prescription to obtain prophylactics at a pharmacy or an effective homoeapathic remedy can be obtained from Weleda pharmacies. Make sure you bring Tabard / Peaceful Sleep lotions. No burning mozzie coils etc. allowed.

CURRENCY & BANKING FACILITIES IN PONTA
Credit cards and cheques are not accepted at Dolphin Camp. Rands are used at the camp and in the village. Bring enough cash as no banks available in Ponta. (The last banks available on the journey are at Manguzi which is just before the border).

WHAT TO DO
As previously mentioned, there is a snorkeling course at appr. 3pm and briefing at 5pm on day of arrival, which are the only compulsory things you have to attend. We will have a group get-together and I will be doing a guided dolphin meditation that evening. On the following days, we will be drumming so if you have, please bring drums, percussion and musical instruments. Don't worry if you've never tried this before. We all have natural rhythm. You can also try your hand at some ribbon poi dancing (what you do when you dance with fire, but without the fire) and you will be entertained with some firedancing (weather permitting).

There are local craft markets to explore and coffee shops, restaurants, pubs and shops in the village, all within close walking distance of the camp. There are glorious stretches of beach for long or short walks. The next resort, Ponta Malongane is about a 7Km walk along the beach.

WHAT TO BRING

Diana K. - Sundancer : I am an holistic events conceptualiser and manager, promoter, networker, writer and performer, as well as a healer, dolphin swim journeys, meditation & workshop facilitator and have been doing all this since 1998. During this time, I have come across countless people on a quest for truth and peace and many people who offer alternative healing therapies to help humanity evolve. There is not one perfect way - we have the power to choose a path perfect for each of us and it's important not to give our power away to others to make choices for us.

I live by the maxim of "Aiming to Inspire, Empower and Enlighten" and run, what I call, an "Inspirations Company", Sundancer Promotions, whereby I promote various therapists, workshops and events. My passion is to work with light, sound, music, rhythm (vibration) and dance. I have also been the main organiser of Earthdance Johannesburg for the last 8 years (www.earthdance.org.za), which is a charity event that takes place globally in more than 340 venues around the world, and run a business network group called Business Connect for self-owned businesses (www.businessconnect.co.za).
