Refund Protect. Protect your deposit.
For all our African safaris and tours a non-refundable deposit must be paid to confirm your travel arrangements.
Why is the deposit non-refundable?
To confirm your travel arrangements we must forward your deposit to all suppliers that make up your safari booking. Depending on your booking, this will include accommodation, transfers, park fees, light aircraft flights, gorilla permits, etc
Refund Protect turns your “non-refundable deposit” into 100% refundable.
