term and condition

Afrima Luxury Travel acts as a tour operator as well as a supplier and distributor for travel and tourism-related suppliers. By travel and tourism-related suppliers, we mean Destination management companies, hotels, activity providers, tour operators, accommodation organizers, transport companies, and more.

By the term “booking”, we mean the purchase of any product or service made on any of our websites, or at your local destination when it is part of Afrima Luxury Travel’s network. Bookings are binding when Afrima Luxury Travel has sent a written confirmation to an email address submitted by the customer.

The confirmation is our contract, and it is important that you, the customer, make sure that it is by your order. Any comments must be made immediately. Payment confirms acceptance of these conditions. Afrima Luxury Travel advises customers to print out the confirmation and take it with them on their trip.

You must be at least 18 years of age to make a reservation with Afrima Luxury Travel. Some product owners/suppliers/partners may impose a higher age limit, in which case they will notify you when you order.

Payments and Refunds

The agreed payment terms apply. Usually, a deposit payment is made when the reservation is made. The amount of the deposit depends on the type of safari and accommodation. In the case of Lodge Safaris, the deposit is 30% of the overall value. Payment of the deposit is due at reservation. The deposit is not refundable.

The remaining balance is to be paid at the start of the safari, usually in cash. If payment with a credit card or PayPal is preferred, the customer has to reimburse the handling fees charged to Afrima Luxury Travel (usually 5-8%).

  •  minor delays when traveling;
  •  deviations from normal weather, temperatures, or other climatic conditions;
  •  unrealistic expectations about the wild animal's presence, or "zoo expectation";
  • circumstances resulting from the traveler's negligence;
  •  and the observance of the information in our Tanzania Travel Guide.
