If you are happy with the itinerary and want to go ahead and book the self guided tour to Kenya A deposit of €500 will be required to secure your booking within upon confirmation of the self guided tour. This deposit is non-refundable. The deposit is non-refundable due to several important factors. When you book a place on the self guided tour, I immediately begin the process of planning and preparing for your journey. These preparations often involve upfront costs that are incurred from the moment your booking is confirmed.
The balance will be due 10 weeks before the start of the self guided tour start date. You can make the payments in instalments after the deposit is paid if that suits you.
For the balance of your payment, I maybe able to refund this up 10 weeks before the trip should you have an emergency and need to cancel. Anything closer then 10 weeks, and I cannot refund you.
I suggest you take out comprehensive travel-insurance that covers trip cancellations, that way should you have to cancel you are covered, you will get a full pay out from your insurance company. Keep an eye on the excess required.
