The refund, if applicable, will depend on:

Applicable government, forest or tourism rules
Any non-refundable charges
Some bookings may be partially or completely non-refundable.
3. Safari Cancellation
Safari bookings may be subject to the cancellation, modification and refund rules of the concerned authority or booking system.

We will assist with the cancellation process where possible, but the final refund decision may depend on the concerned authority or service provider.
