Covid-19 Cancellation Policy
We know that the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in many changes in the way you would want to travel. In light of that we have worked out a Covid-19 policy that allows you to continue to plan and book your vacation with your mind at ease, these are: 


Existing bookings:
1.   Confirmed bookings for which we have received a deposit or full payment, will be secured should you (or your clients) decide it unsafe to travel.
2.   Bookings can be amended up to 12 (twelve) months from the original arrival date. Please note only one amendment to travel dates may be made and should the season change to a higher rate season, the new rate will apply.
3.   In the event that you (or your clients) do not travel within 12 (twelve) months of the original arrival date, the 50% deposit would be forfeited – always assuming the Corona Epidemic has been contained by then.
4.   Any travel changes to bookings within 14 (fourteen) days of the travel period will incur 100% cancellation fees.
5.   The above will only apply if we have received the required deposit or the full payment to confirm your reservation.
 
New bookings:
1.   Any bookings made from 12 March 2020 will be subject to the following Special Conditions.
2.   A deposit of 20% will be required at the time of booking.
3.   6 (six) weeks prior to arrival the balance of 80% will be required to confirm the reservation.
5.   If a booking is cancelled within 4 (four) weeks of arrival a 50% cancellation fee will apply.
 
Exceptions:
We will have the following exceptions where bookings are cancelled within 14 days of travel, whereby clients will be offered the same deferral policy as above:
1.   If the country of the clients’ residence prevents the client from leaving,
2.   If Zambia issues an inbound travel ban, banning clients from entering, or forcing arriving clients into quarantine.  
Insurance
We highly recommend all clients to subscribe to travel insurance covering for cancellations or medical emergencies.
