Terms of Service

Bookings and Payments

All safaris are booked on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis.

Booking Fee

Due to the individual nature of our safaris, a booking fee of 30% must be received before your safari dates and itinerary can be confirmed. This fee is non-refundable and it will be deducted from the total amount payable for the safari.

Payments

The final payment is due 90 days prior to departure.

Your itinerary and costing is subject to change in the event of exceptional cost increases such as fuel surcharges and park fees, or extreme currency fluctuations.

Cancellation

The 30% deposit is non refundable.


90 days or less days prior to departure: 100% of total price

We cannot accept clients on safari unless payment has been received in full.

We recommend that you purchase a travel protection plan to help protect you and your travel investment against the unexpected.

Risks

While participating under Phil West Safaris arrangements with our safari operators, certain unavoidable risks and dangers may occur, including but not limited to: accidents, illness, travel by air, automobile, or other conveyance, wildlife and the forces of nature.

You will be in isolated, rugged and wilderness terrain, often away from medical facilities, and involved in activities that are potentially dangerous such as: climbing, game spotting, horseback riding, canoeing, and nature walks. Neither Phil West Safaris, nor our safari operators accept responsibility or liability for any injury, loss or damage suffered by any person or property from any cause whatsoever.

Neither Phil West Safaris nor its operators accepts responsibility for any delay prior to or during the course of our safaris brought about by strikes, weather conditions or any other circumstances beyond our control.

If Phil West Safaris judges any destination to be unsafe it will offer to reschedule, relocate, or refund your trip.

If field conditions should not be optimum due to weather conditions, operators reserve the right to change the itinerary at any time.

All individuals come on safari at their own risk.
