Our can­cel­la­tion pol­icy is designed to remain clear, fair, and aligned with inter­na­tional travel stan­dards while also pro­tect­ing the guides, com­mu­ni­ties, con­ser­va­tion efforts, and oper­a­tional teams that make every safari possible.

Securing Your Journey 

A 30% deposit of the total safari cost is required to con­firm your book­ing. This secures accom­mo­da­tions, spe­cial­ist guides, trans­porta­tion logis­tics, per­mits, and oper­a­tional plan­ning across your journey. 

Bal­ance Payment 

Final Payment Timeline 

The remain­ing 70% bal­ance is due 30 days prior to arrival. For short-notice book­ings made within 30 days of depar­ture, full pay­ment or a min­i­mum 50% upfront deposit may be required to guar­an­tee availability. 

Impor­tant Notes 
Con­ser­va­tion Impact
