Why We Require Deposits

Many safari lodges, camps, and conservation authorities require advance payment to secure space, especially during peak seasons.

Your deposit allows us to:

  • Confirm accommodations

  • Reserve vehicles and guides

  • Secure park permits and special activities

  • Lock in availability and rates

 

This ensures your journey is properly arranged from the start.

Our cancellation and amendment policies vary depending on the lodges, camps, and services included in your itinerary.

We provide clear, written policies with your proposal so you can review them before confirming.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance.
