Booking Conditions

The contract
Your contract is with IntoAfrica UK Ltd ("the Company") of 40 Huntingdon Crescent, Sheffield S11 8AX, England. The terms and conditions of all agreements made with the Company shall be subject to and governed by English Law. When making a booking you accept that you have read and understand all the booking conditions and agree to abide by them.

Making a booking
We require a completed booking form and a deposit of between 20 - 30% of the total trip cost, depending on the trip. The person signing the booking form does so on behalf of all other persons mentioned on the form. A contract exists when we issue written confirmation of your booking. We reserve the right to refuse any booking at our discretion.

Paying for the trip
The full balance of payment is due to IntoAfrica UK Ltd  31 days before the departure date of any trip. If this balance is not received the Company reserves the right to treat your booking as cancelled. Travel costs may be affected by external factors beyond our control such as exchange rates, National Park Fees and government imposed taxes. We reserve the right to impose any such surcharges on the cost of the trip. However should any such increases be greater than 5% you will be informed and may cancel your trip within 7 days of notification and be entitled to a full refund of any monies paid.

Payment protection        TOFC Policy No: C0001524/A0015474/TOFC
In order to provide protection for your holiday payments the Company has purchased TRAVEL ORGANISER FAILURE COVER (TOFC) from TRAVEL & GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY PLC (TGIC).  This complies with the English Law requirements of Regulations 16-21 of the Package Travel Regulations. In the unlikely event of the failure of the Company, you will be contacted by TGIC or their agents in order that a claim can be made for a refund of your holiday payments. The TOFC provided is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the above numbered Policy. The Company retains a copy of the Policy which may be inspected on request.

If you cancel your trip
Cancellation of your trip must be made in writing to us and be signed by the person whose name and signature appears on the booking form. As we may incur considerable costs if you cancel, we will retain your deposit and may impose the following cancellation charges: 31 -15 days before departure - 80%, 14 days or less before departure - 100%.  We strongly advise you to take out suitable insurance to cover such potential losses.

If we cancel your trip
If we are forced to cancel your trip for reasons beyond our reasonable control ("force majeure") we will offer you the choice of a full refund of any monies paid or an alternative trip. The Company will accept no liability for any costs incurred by you for anything other than the monies paid to us for the trip.

Itinerary changes
Whilst we will make every reasonable effort to adhere to our itineraries you must realise that the nature of adventure travel in Africa may require changes in travel plans for which the Company accepts no responsibility. If you request or require itinerary changes you may be liable for any costs we incur to facilitate these (see Insurance below).
