BOOKING CONDITIONS

BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONSThe Booking Conditions and the Booking Form comprise the contract between you and Destination Africa Tours CC (hereafter referred to as “DAT”). When you sign the Booking Form you are agreeing to the Booking Conditions. When you ask us to book your Kilimanjaro tour, you appoint us to act as your agent to arrange travel and other services. When we have done that for you and confirmed the booking and you have paid the initial payment, we will accept responsibility for providing your tour. After reading this document keep it in a safe place.

BOOKINGHow do I make a booking?One person should make the booking on behalf of everyone who is going the tour. That person must be at least 18 years of age when they book the tour. He or she will be the first name on the booking form. This person must have the agreement of everyone who is going on the tour to make the booking with us and will be responsible for making sure all payments due for your holiday are paid in full and at the right time. The person who is going to make the booking must fill in and sign our booking form. The names of everyone travelling on the holiday must be included on the booking form. This must then be sent to us together with your deposit or full payment as set out in clause 3. Providing we are able to do so, we will then confirm your chosen holiday.

How will my holiday be confirmed?Your holiday will be confirmed when we issue a Booking confirmation. As soon as we do so, there will be a binding legal agreement between us. The Booking confirmation will be sent to the person who makes the booking. Please check your Booking confirmation and all other documents thoroughly as soon as you receive them, you must advise DAT without delay, if any details appear incorrect - it may not be possible to make amendments at a later date.

DISABILITY OR OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONSIf you or any member of your party suffers from a medical condition or disability, which may affect their tour arrangements, full details of the disability or medical condition must be advised to DAT. If in the opinion of DAT a particular tour is not suitable for the disability/medical condition, then we reserve the right to refuse a booking at our discretion. In the event of the disability/medical condition not being made known to DAT before/at the time of booking, then we further reserves the right to cancel the booking at any stage and the normal cancellation charges will apply.

We are happy to welcome travellers with disabilities on many of our holidays but regret that in some cases we are unable to do so, due to the travel arrangements and/or the hotels, which are featured. The suitability of any tour will depend on the nature of a disability and in some cases whether the person with the disability is accompanied by an able-bodied companion. In order to ensure the comfort, safety and enjoyment of your holiday we must ask all such intending travellers to provide details of your disability and any special requirements before booking so that we can advise whether a particular holiday is suitable and, where necessary, instruct our representatives accordingly

3.

PRICEThe tour prices quoted are valid for dates of the respective tours only. DAT reserves the right to adjust the tour price at any time (before full payment for the tour is received), due to currency fluctuations or any other unforeseen circumstances. Until full payment is received, the client will at all times be liable for any increases with regards to park fees, hotel rates, airfares airport taxes, fuel surcharges or exchange rate increases. Tour prices are based on the total package and no breakdown of costs will be provided. Prices quoted do not include any items unless specifically specified in a booking documentation to the client.

- Tips to porters, cook and guide- Travel insurance

- Passports, visas and vaccinations - Optional excursions, meals not specified and items of a personal nature - All airport taxes and air fuel surcharges - Personal hiking gear - Meals, snacks and drinks not specified

Please see the relevant section below for details.

ACCOMMODATIONOur prices are per person based on the shared occupancy of double or twin-bedded rooms. (Alternative accommodation supplements are given with the individual holiday details). While a supplement is normally charged for single rooms in Tanzania hotels these are often inferior to double or twin-bedded rooms. Three-bedded rooms are usually twin rooms with an extra bed. Check-out time is generally between 10am and midday on the day of departure. Please note that hotel ratings used in our brochures and website refer to local classifications. Grading systems vary from country to country and cannot be compared. As far as possible we will use the hotels stated in our brochures and website.Occasionally it may be necessary to use an alternative hotel of equal standard and you will be advised at the earliest opportunity. The term `hotel' includes motels, inns, lodges and other equivalent establishments according to local classification.Shared AccommodationOn most holidays a single room costs more. On selected tours we are able to offer shared accommodation in a twin room with another single person - you then have the pleasure of companionship and pay no supplement. This is, of course, subject to someone of the same sex being willing to share. If you are willing to share please indicate this on your booking form.

PAYMENTAn initial payment (deposit) of 20% is required at time of booking. DAT will be under no duty to provide any services to the Client until the Client's initial payment has been received.The balance of the total tour price is payable not less than 8 weeks before the departure date. DAT shall be entitled to cancel the booking in the event that the balance of the tour price has not been received in full by us 8 weeks before departure in which event a cancellation charge of 20% of the total tour price will become due.
