Terms of Business
DEPOSIT
A deposit of 50% of the daily rates is required to confirm your booking. Please bear in mind that advance booking ensures that preferred dates and areas are secured. If a cancellation is made within three months of the beginning date of the safari no refund will be made unless the safari can be rescheduled. If a cancellation is made a handling fee equal to 20% of the deposit will be charged.
TROPHY FEES
Trophy fees are charged on all animals taken or wounded. In such cases where animals are wounded and lost for any reason the full trophy fee is charged. This is standard practice world wide and the guides word is final, although every effort will be made to recover the animal during or after the safari. If recovered at a later date the trophy remains the property of the hunter.
BUSINESS
A deposit of 50% of the daily rate is taken to confirm and secure your safari dates and required trophies. On the last day of the safari, the hunter will be given a detailed invoice by the guide which as well as daily rates and trophy fees will list license fees (if applicable), trophy preparation, and VAT, and any other sundries that may have been incurred during the safari.
PAYMENT
Please note that due to the fact that personal cheques are sent back to the USA for clearance, which can take up to ten weeks, and that phone lines in the outlying areas are often not reliable in Africa making credit card payments difficult, these two forms of payment are not accepted. Safari S.A. can accept credit card payments prior to your departure as deposit for trophy fees and daily rates if you so choose; however, a 4% surcharge will be added. Please make all payments in Africa in cash or travellers cheques, or by telegraphic wire transfer or credit card prior to your safari. All camps have lock up facilities for cash, traveller’s cheques, passports and other personal items. Should one wish to make a telegraphic transfer or pay with credit card prior to the safari, one should estimate the figure required by adding your daily rate and anticipated trophy fees together. On completion of the safari you and your guide will balance up your account and either reimburse or invoice the outstanding balance. For telegraphic wire transfers please make payments in favour of: SAFARI S.A.; 3301 LONG PRAIRIE ROAD, SUITE 145, FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS USA 75022; REGIONS BANK; 3451 LONG PRAIRIE ROAD, FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS USA 75022; ROUTING NUMBER 062005690; INTERNATIONAL SWIFT CODE UPNBUS44; ACCOUNT NUMBER 8300689475
VAT
Value added tax is charged by the South African Government on all daily rates and other services. Value added tax is not charged on certain items bought and paid for in South Africa and which are to be exported, this includes trophy animals. This means that all trophies to be exported are not subject to value added tax. However an animal wounded and lost is subject to value added tax.
GRATUITIES

GENERAL
Please note that if during the course of your safari you are unsure of any costs or have any questions whatsoever, or are unhappy about anything please bring it to your guide’s attention immediately, and every endeavour will be made to clarify or correct the situation.
