Booking Conditions
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
Please read these booking conditions carefully before confirming your safari, Kilimanjaro climb, or Zanzibar holiday with Serengeti Wakanda Tours.
1. How to Book
- Request a personalized itinerary through our website, by email, or by phone.
- Review your quotation carefully. It will include inclusions, exclusions, payment schedule, and cancellation terms.
- Confirm your booking by paying the required deposit or full amount as stated on your invoice.
- Receive written confirmation from Serengeti Wakanda Tours once payment is received and availability is confirmed.
2. Deposit & Payment
- A deposit may be required to secure your booking, especially for peak-season travel and limited-availability lodges.
- Full payment must be completed before the commencement of your safari unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, credit/debit card, and other approved options arranged directly with our team.
- All bank charges, currency conversion fees, and transaction costs are the responsibility of the client.
3. Pricing
- Quotations are based on rates available at the time they are issued and may change before confirmation.
- Price adjustments may occur due to government tax changes, park fee revisions, fuel surcharges, currency fluctuations, accommodation rate changes, or supplier price increases.
- Once your booking is confirmed and paid in full, no further price increases will apply unless you request changes.
4. Cancellation by the Guest
- In case of any cancellation, you will receive a credit note for the full amount paid — usable to rebook your safari within a generous 2-year timeframe.
- This lets you explore at your convenience and enjoy the adventure when the time is right for you.
- The credit note policy is subject to the specific accommodations booked, as individual lodges, camps, and hotels may apply their own cancellation terms which take precedence where applicable.
- No credit or refund is given for no-shows, late arrivals, early departures, unused accommodation, missed activities, missed transfers, or meals and services not used.
- All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing (email) so we can process your credit note promptly.
5. Cancellation by Serengeti Wakanda Tours
- If we cancel your booking due to circumstances within our control, you may choose a full refund or a rescheduled safari on mutually agreed dates.
- Our liability is limited to the amount paid directly to Serengeti Wakanda Tours.
6. Changes to Bookings
- Clients may request changes to their itinerary before travel, subject to availability, supplier approval, and possible additional costs.
- Administrative fees may apply for substantial changes.
- We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requested changes.
7. Force Majeure
- We are not liable for cancellations, delays, changes, or failure to perform services caused by events beyond our control.
- These include natural disasters, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics, epidemics, government regulations, political unrest, terrorism, civil disturbances, airline cancellations, border closures, extreme weather, strikes, and mechanical failures.
- We will assist with rescheduling or recovering refundable amounts from suppliers where possible. Refunds are subject to third-party supplier policies.
8. Travel Insurance
- Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended for all clients.
- Your policy should cover trip cancellation, medical treatment, emergency evacuation, personal accident, lost baggage, flight delays, and personal liability.

- If a booked property becomes unavailable, we reserve the right to substitute it with accommodation of equal or higher standard.
- Our vehicles are maintained to high safety standards, but delays due to road conditions, weather, mechanical issues, traffic, or government inspections are not grounds for compensation.
