Frequently Asked Questions There is planning required by those considering a safari in Africa. Below here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we have received.
How do I/we book our chosen Safari through your Company? Please complete our Online booking form or send us an e-mail. How can I pay you and what are your Charges for Credit Card Payments? We require 25% deposit wired to our account, and balance is payable at least 20 days prior to commencement of the safari or can be paid in cash US dollars or travellers cheques on arrival. We accept payment by Visa and Master Card but there is a 5% surcharge for Credit Card Payments. How far in advance should I book my safari? It is better to book as far in advance as possible to ensure availability at the time you wish to travel, especially during the high/peak seasons - July/August and Christmas/New Year season. Visas to all 3 East African Countries should be obtained in advance through the various Embassies/High Commissions abroad, although airport visas are available. Travelers who opt to obtain an airport visa should expect delays upon arrival. There is a fee for the visa currently ranging from US$30 to US$50, whether obtained in advance or at the airport. Does your price include all International Flights? No. International transportation to and from East Africa is not included. What type of vehicles do you use on safari? We use 7-seater custom safari minibuses with pop-up roof ideal for game viewing and sight seeing. The buses are fitted with HF long range radios for easy communication and are well maintained to provide maximum level of comfort and safety. In addition to the above, all our vehicles are fully equipped with cool-boxes and first aid kits. How many people do you take on a safari? Our safaris have guaranteed departures with a minimum of two people and recommend a maximum of 7 persons per safari minibus, for guaranteed window seats. What are the terms when booking a safari with your company? Please see our Terms & Conditions page. Are we guaranteed to see the 'Big Five' as well as other wildlife whilst on safri you're your company? We cannot guarantee this! as all of the animals are in their natural environment, but with our chosen locations you will not be disappointed! This is a fee imposed on single travelers by the hotels, lodges and camps. Our safari prices are quoted based on two people sharing accommodation. If someone takes a room by themselves they have to pay the per-person price plus the single supplement fee. Is it possible for people with special needs to travel on any of your Safaris? We cannot guarantee that facilities will be available for such as wheelchair passengers, but some of the properties that we use have these facilities. Please contact us with your specific requirements. Can you cater for people with special Dietary requirements? Yes we do! Please make sure to give us advanced notice so that we can make arrangements with the lodges and camps concerned. Do I/We require Travel Insurance? We strongly recommend that you take out all of the necessary Travel Insurance before commencing on your journey. However, we offer free membership with Flying Doctors' Society of Africa to all our clients while on safari with us. This will offer you, the traveller security in the knowledge that should a medical emergency arise, the Flying Doctors Service and evacuation to a reputable hospital are just a call away. This service covers only rescue. Are the destinations and Safaris that you offer safe and secure? All of the destinations that we offer are considered to be safe and secure, and are all well-established destinations and locations. What are the time differences in East Africa ?
