Reservation Procedure

All reservations must be received in writing via e-mail. No reservations will be accepted by telephone, Skype or WhatsApp. Provisional bookings will only be held for 14 days from the date of reservation. After 14 days, the provisional booking will be automatically cancelled. Once a booking confirmation has been sent back to the agent in writing, the booking is considered confirmed and cancellation terms apply.

All Reservations

All bookings are held as provisional status until we receive written confirmation. Bookings will be held on provisional status for 14 days.

Please Note: Whilst any booking is held in provisional status and another FIT booking is received, you will be informed in writing to secure your reservation within 48 hours or we will release the requested rooms. Should you not revert within 48 hours, the rooms will be released and you will be notified in writing.

We can waitlist bookings via e-mail. Should the space clear, you will be notified in writing and standard booking procedures will apply.

Accompanying Guides, Pilots and Tour Leaders

The guide rate applies to a bona fide tour leader and/or guide accompanying guests, covering the guide's accommodation. The guide may accompany guests on activities subject to space availability, unless private activities have been booked. Refer to the rates sheet for applicable rates.

Luggage must be in soft-sided bags. Hard-case bags or bags with frames will not be accepted.

3. Body Weight Restrictions

Passenger weights are recorded per CAAB guidelines. Passengers weighing more than 100kg may incur a surcharge or be required to purchase an additional seat.

Insurance

It is a condition of booking that each guest be covered by comprehensive travel and medical insurance including accidental death and disability, major medical, emergency medical evacuation, loss of personal effects and trip cancellation.

Travel Documents and Vaccinations

It is the sole responsibility of each guest to ensure that passports, visas, travel permits, health certificates, inoculations and any other documentation required are obtained and in order.

Consent to Risks

There are inherent risks involved in wildlife adventure tours and safaris, including the risk of contracting malaria. By making a booking, all guests consent to these risks and participate at their own risk.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnity

All guests will be required, upon check-in, to read and complete our company indemnity form.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be held liable for failure to perform this agreement upon the occurrence of any circumstance beyond reasonable control, including disaster, fire, strikes, governmental regulation, civil disturbance, war, terrorist acts, disease epidemics, acts of God, or extreme weather. Each party shall use reasonable endeavours to alleviate such circumstances including agreeing upon alternative arrangements.

Photography

We do not allow drones at any of our camps. Many of the areas we operate in have anti-poaching patrols and drones interfere with this critical work. Photographs taken of your safari by our staff may be used for promotional purposes. We guarantee that no photographs of a compromising nature will be used for such purposes.

General Note

All transfers and accommodation rates quoted are subject to change without prior notice. However, rates quoted for confirmed bookings will be honoured.
