We are delighted that you are interested in our services. Due to the terms and conditions at our partner camps, all provisional reservations and requests are held for 14 days only before we require a 20% non-refundable deposit to confirm the reservation; otherwise the booking will expire and be released from our reservation system.

 

Final payment is due prior to the start of your travel arrangements and Touch Nature must receive payment no later than 12 weeks before your intended travel date. Travel with us is conditional upon full payment of this invoice.

 

Cancellation

 

Our booking conditions apply to all travel arrangements with us.

 

Our cancellation policies are as follows:

 

• Cancellation of booking after provisional reservation will result in the 20% deposit being forfeited.

• Cancellation within 8 weeks prior to date of travel will incur a 50% fee of total cost of safari

• Cancellation within 4 weeks prior to date of travel will incur a 75% fee of total cost of safari

• Cancellation within 2 weeks prior to date of travel will incur a 100% cancellation fee of the safari.

 

Travel Insurance

 

It is a pre-requisite for all travellers to under take full comprehensive travel insurance that must include emergency evacuation cover.

 

Please make sure you keep your personal belongings with you on safari at all times. We cannot accept any responsibility for the misplacement of any articles or theft whilst in our camps or during your travels. The logistics of inter-camp communication and the scheduling and costs of charter flights may not be favourable for the return of articles unless you are prepared to pay for the cost of a full charter, to get your goods to catch up to you. This issue is possibly the single biggest form of stress for guests, who have left their goods behind at a camp, and who are not prepared to pay for the charter costs.

 

Roads in the bush are rough and bumpy, we occasionally travel “off road” and injuries can occur. Touch Nature, their staff members, associates or agents cannot be held liable for any accidents or any damages! Most places booked for travel are in wild and remote parts of Africa with dangerous wildlife and often-harsh terrain; hence you will be exposed to potentially hazardous activities. Touch Nature, its associates, partners and staff will not be held liable for any injury, loss of life or damage whatsoever during and after the travel arrangements.
