Booking and Payment
Once you’re 100% happy with your custom safari itinerary, it’s time to book! We’ll process any deposits required and start booking your trip—accommodations and tours first to make sure you have a place to stay, followed shortly thereafter with the flights. Dinner reservations, special touches, and travel insurance all fit in here, too.
The full balance of your trip is due 8 weeks prior to departure. At this time, we’ll start finessing the details of your trip, refining and adding information where needed. Before you leave, you’ll receive detailed final documents with everything you need to know.
Pricing Breakdowns
When we send you a trip quote, we’ll separate your costs into land (accommodations, touring, transfers, etc.) and airfare. However, we are not able to send an itemized breakdown of your trip costs. As a wholesale tour operator, we receive special rates from our travel partners in Africa, but our contracted rates include non-disclosure agreements.
While Africa Endeavours is not a discount travel service, we will work within your budget and strive to help you make informed decisions by providing unbiased advice.
Special Offers
We always have some special offers and exclusive discounts up our sleeve. Many properties offer free nights with a minimum stay or discounted rates if you combine certain camps. Please reach out to us to see what offers are available for the dates you’re traveling.
