Your custom safari is considered confirmed when a deposit of 50% of the daily rate has been received. The balance of the daily rate is to generally be paid 90 days prior to the commencement of the safari, or June 1, whichever is earlier. Trophy fees will be collected at the end of your safari. All payments are to be made in U.S. Dollars: Cash, Wire Transfer, Bank Checks, or Travelers Checks (subject to 2% service fee charged to us by our bank). Trophy fees can generally only be paid in cash.

Cancellations less than 180 days prior to the dates agreed upon may cause the deposit to be forfeited unless the dates can be re-booked. However, even if a refund is made, any expenses incurred by the company on your behalf will be deducted from any refund you may be due.

All insurance is the responsibility of the client. We'd recommend you consider Trip Cancellation coverage and Emergency Medical Evacuation (Flying Doctors, MedJet, etc.)
