The deposit paid for a safari is refundable within the timeline detailed in the safari contract. In short, the amount refunded is reduced the closer you get to the date of the safari. Cancellations made more than 6 months prior to the safari start date are fully refundable, between 6 and 5 months it is 50%, and cancellations less than 4 months (120 days) of the safari start date, the deposit is forfeited. The balance of the safari price is due in full no later than 90 days prior to the safari start date. These refund policies are standard in the industry. We strongly recommend purchasing a Travel Insurance Policy to cover you if you need to cancel on short notice.
