Once Green Africa Safaris have confirmed to you that your required dates are available, you will be required to lay down a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total of the tour cost, per person, via bank transfer, within 7 days in order to confirm the reservation. Failure to pay this 30% deposit within 7 days from confirmation of the available dates of your tour will result in your reservation automatically being cancelled.

​

It is the clients responsibility to inform and instruct their banking institution that the net invoice amount must equal the funds clearing into the Green Africa Safaris bank account and that all the bank charges are for the clients bank account.

​

The balance of your payment must be made 8 weeks (60 days) prior to the date of your tour departure. Failure to comply with the deposit and balance payment requirements may result in an automatic cancellation of your reservation.

​

Bookings made within 8 weeks (60 days) prior to your departure are subject to full payment of the entire tour amount at the time of confirming the reservation.

​

Payment can be made by bank transfer and we accept US Dollars ($), Euro, UK Pounds (£), South African Rands (ZAR).

​

Proof of bank transfer payment must be e-mailed to the Green Africa Safaris sales team as soon as the transfer is complete, in order for us to confirm your booking.

​

It is strongly advised that you take out travel insurance to cover the possibility of cancellation. Most of the properties we use insist that guests have travel insurance.

​

Responsibility

All tours organised by Green Africa Safaris involve local incoming ground handlers and they reserve the right to change and readjust the tour schedule, transportation, hotel accommodation and services indicated in the package in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Lodges, hotels and third party operators used by Ecosouth Safaris may require that you sign an indemnity form before going on any form of excursion.

​

Tour itineraries and prices are subject to change without prior notice to you, although Green Africa Safaris will do everything in their power to prevent such changes, or to give you ample prior notice in the event of said changes.

​

We reserve the right to adjust the tour prices at any time due to factors such as fluctuating exchange rates or increases in the costs of any portions of your tour.

​

Ecosouth Safaris do everything in their power to absorb any increases in airport taxes, fuel surcharges or other related airline charge increases yet we do reserve the right to add these as a supplement to the stated tour price.

​

South African countries often impose increases in VISA fees, VAT tax or service charges without any given notice. We cannot be held responsible for sudden and unforeseen increases in government imposed fees or taxes and you will be required to pay these directly should these costs arise.

In addition to this, when booking flights with Green Africa Safaris, we require a copy of all the passengers passports. Airlines require the full names of passengers as printed on the passports and they will not accept changes once tickets are issued. This is a security procedure that ensures there are no discrepancies. The Safari Club accepts no responsibility for incorrect passport numbers or incorrect spelling of full names. Please ensure and double check that you provide accurate information to your consultant at Green Africa Safaris.

​

Passengers travelling to Southern Africa with passports which do not comply with these basic requirements will either be stopped from boarding the aircraft or risk deportation on arrival in Southern Africa. In addition, a parent travelling with children, without the other parent, will need a letter of consent from the absent parent. The letter of consent must be officially certified by the police.
