OUTBACK AFRICA SAFARI BOOKING POLICIES

Booking Conditions:
If an Outback Africa Safari appeals to you, and you would like to make a reservation, it is advisable to contact Outback Africa Safaris and enquire if there is a position available for you on the particular safari that you wish to go on. A booking form must then be completed and sent or faxed to the address of the Outback Africa Booking office in Cape Town. A non-refundable deposit of 10% will be required to confirm your reservation. The total amount for the safari is payable 28 days prior to the departure date of the safari. If this amount is not paid in due time, Outback Africa may, at its own discretion, be entitled to regard the booking as cancelled.

Acceptance Of Safari Booking Contract:
A contract between Outback Africa and the client will only be concluded once the client has received receipt of payment from Outback Africa, and Outback Africa is in possession of a signed booking form.

Change Of Safari Booking:
If, after booking a safari with Outback Africa, you wish to change your safari dates to a later or earlier period, it is advisable to contact Outback Africa to enquire as to if we can accommodate your wishes. If we are unable to meet your request, you will either have to get a replacement or cancel your booking with Outback Africa.

Safari Cancellation Procedure:
A cancellation letter must be sent to Outback Africa if you wish to terminate your booking. If a booking is cancelled more than 28 days prior to departure, only the full deposit will be retained by Outback Africa. If a booking is cancelled 22-28 days prior to departure, 40% of the total safari fare will be payable by the client. If a booking is cancelled 15-21 days prior to departure, 60% of the total safari fare will be payable by the client. If a booking is cancelled 14 days prior to departure, the client will be expected to meet the total payment of the safari. If you fail to join a safari, or join after departure, or leave prior to its completion, no reimbursement whatsoever will be made by Outback Africa.

Outback Africa Safari Cancellation:
Should a safari be cancelled by Outback Africa , we will either refund full payment or offer an alternative safari. If Outback Africa has to curtail a safari after departure for any pertinent reason, i.e. wars, strikes, weather conditions and acts of God, then Outback Africa will not be held liable for any form of refund whatsoever. Outback Africa shall, at its own discretion, cancel any client's booking whom they deem unsuitable after departure of the said safari. The objective of a small group safari is to enjoy the experience of group participation in most activities offered. Clients with strong individualistic attitudes will find this type of safari difficult and not suitable for their vacation requirements.

Travel Insurance:
Travel insurance for any Outback Africa Safari is compulsory. It is the client's responsibility to arrange comprehensive personal and medical insurance in their country of origin. In the unlikely event of rescue and medical assistance being required whilst on an Outback Africa safari, the client shall be liable for the complete cost thereof.

Your guide will be a qualified in first aid and is more than competent to assist you through your minor third-world safari mishaps, i.e. cuts and bruises. Assistance to obtain travel insurance is available on request.

General:
All meals, i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner, as stipulated in the brochure, are provided. Tea and coffee are supplied, but please note that all other beverages are for your own expense. All visa requirements are for the client's own expense. The Company will meet all transfers, hire costs and entry fees whilst on an Outback Africa Safari. All excursions not undertaken by Outback Africa as a company outing, will be for own expense, i.e. flights, rafting, bungi-jumping, visits to Victor ia Falls and Table Mountain cable car. As our safaris are planned far in advance, our prices are subject to surcharge without notice. Please note that our itineraries are subject to change, depending on local conditions. Our itineraries can therefore not be guaranteed, but Outback Africa will endeavour to substitute any changes with destinations of equivalent value.

Indemnity:
Outback Africa shall not be held liable for any injury, damage or loss, including consequential loss to any client or their possessions howsoever caused. This includes personal injury, disease or death caused by or contributed to by negligence by Outback Africa, its employers or agents. If any additional expenses are incurred through delays, accidents or disruption of the planned itinerary beyond the control of Outback Africa, i.e. wars, strikes, weather conditions and acts of God, then such expenses are to be borne by the client.
