Clients are strongly recommended to ensure that they are covered by insurance; relative medical costs and personal accident prior to departure from their country domicile cover them. Insurance application forms are offered to all our clients.

Malaria is prevalent in Southern Africa so that prior to departure we urge you to consult your physician as to appropriate anti-malaria tablets.

A 20% non-refundable deposit is required upon confirmation of a booking. Final payment is due 6 weeks prior to departure. Any person making a booking for himself, or on behalf of other persons, will by the making of such a booking, assume personal liability for all cost involved.
If a booking is cancelled less than 6 weeks prior to departure, the company retains the full deposit, and in addition a cancellation fee will be made as follows.
Less than 35 days notice - 40% of total tour cost
Less than 28 days notice - 60% of total tour cost
Less than 14 days notice - 80% of total tour cost
We regret that we can make no exception to the above charges, and therefore strongly recommended that insurance be taken out to cover cancellation and/or curtailment charges.
In the event of the company cancelling a safari, which it shall be entitled to do at any time before the scheduled departure date, the full amount paid by the customer will be refunded to him.
