Terms and Conditions for all tours

Our booking policies on ALL TOURS.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY:

Cancellations are only effective upon WCT receiving the written cancelation notification form signed by the client. This form can be requested by e-mail. Your initial deposit is used to secure your accommodations, transportation, guides, and internal flights. Therefore, your initial deposit is non-refundable, unless someone takes your place at full cost. *

We understand conflicts arise, so if you need to cancel prior to the final payment, all efforts will be made to fill your spot. If WCT fills your spot, a refund of your non-refundable deposit, less a 20% administration fee and less any non-refundable air tickets purchased, will be issued; however, there are no guarantees.       

If your final balance has not been received 90 days prior to trip commencement, Shayne McGuire will be entitled, at her own discretion, to treat your reservation as cancelled; the deposit and any trip fees as stated above will be forfeited.

Travel insurance for all safaris, tours, and workshops is highly recommended as you never know what life may have in store that might alter your plans.

I know people have insurance fears, of not being able to get travel insurance. If another virus effects the world again, and the tour cannot go forward and is canceled everyone will be refunded. If the tour is not canceled but moved to a later date then everyone will move to the later date, if they can't then make that move, then they have to consider alternatives. If the tour can commence but the country that a guest lives in is locked down and would not allow people to fly out. At that point the company would refund your money.
