2022 Global Private Tour Bookings
Based on the unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic’s effect on 2020 global travel, Kipling & Clark will provide maximum flexibility for 2022 private tour bookings. For new 2022 global private tour bookings, you may revise or cancel up to 30 days prior to departure in case of COVID-19 related reasons. This may apply to COVID-19 concerns in the U.S. or your global travel destination. If canceled, your payment will apply to future international travel with no penalty.
At this time, the CDC is recommending checking the COVID-19 protocols at your intended destination as well as being full vaccinated and boosted. Upon re-entry in the United States, testing is recommended BUT not required.
COVID-19 related reasons include U.S. State Department Level 4 Travel Advisories, international flight cancellations to your destination, or entry restrictions in your destination country.

Our Approach
Kipling & Clark’s first priority is the safety and health of our clients. We are following WHO, CDC, and Department of State guidelines when advising our clients of future travel.
Our staff is working remotely and available during normal business hours via email. Please feel free to reach out to Randy directly at rlynch@kiplingandclark.com or on his cell phone at (312) 351-3121 if you have any questions or concerns regarding currently booked trips or possible future bookings. Randy and the Kipling and Clark staff are all completely accessible during this time!
In terms of the global travel industry, our many private guides, hotels, and various suppliers have been temporarily idled. We consider our Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America suppliers to be dear, close friends, and an extension of our Lynch tribe/Kipling & Clark family.
Future Air Travel
As the world slowly starts to open back up again, we are keeping an eye on global routes being reinstated by our friends at United. Despite the unprecedented times, we look forward to sunny skies ahead and boarding Polaris Class Dreamliners to faraway lands! We also wish the very best to our many supportive friends at our home-time carrier, we love you all and look forward to better days ahead!
