Some important differences about Boojum Expeditions:
-
Our US management staff has over 30 years experience in
adventure travel.
-
Our local staff are young, enthusiastic men and women,
college graduates, many of whom have traveled and lived in the US.
-
With the exception of visas and airport taxes, our tour
package is complete. Our meals all include purified water, beer,
tea or soda at no additional charge.
-
Our camping gear is first quality and we provide
each group with a reference library.
-
We tell it like it is. Many local companies
paint an unrealistically rosy picture of the travel conditions in
Mongolia. While things ARE improving rapidly, Mongolia is still a
rustic travel experience.
