Flexible payments.
Thirty percent holds it.
A 30% deposit confirms your journey. The balance is spread across the months between booking and departure — interest-free, on a schedule that suits you. Or settle it all at once, if you would rather.
The Principle
A journey booked a year out shouldn’t be paid for like one booked next month.
Most of our travellers book somewhere between six and eighteen months ahead — because the camps worth staying in fill that far in advance, and because the best months to travel are known long before they arrive.
That gap is an opportunity rather than a problem. Rather than asking for the full amount up front, or leaving one large payment to land shortly before you fly, we spread the balance across the time you already have. The schedule costs nothing extra, carries no interest, and can be shaped around your circumstances.
Two things are fixed: a 30% deposit confirms the booking, and the journey is settled in full 60 days before departure. Everything between those two points is arrangeable.
To Confirm
30%
Deposit at booking. Holds every element of the journey at the price quoted.
Balance Due
60
Days before departure. The final payment date, whatever the schedule before it.
Interest Charged
0%
Instalments cost exactly what paying in one go would cost. No fees.
Pay In Full
Any
Time you like. Settle early if you prefer — nothing is lost by doing so.
The Schedule
How the balance is spread.
The further ahead you book, the more the balance divides. These are our standard schedules — your specialist can adjust the middle payments around your own timing.
30% at booking · 35% six months before departure · 35% at 60 days. Three payments, roughly half a year apart.
30% at booking · 40% at 90 days · 30% at 60 days. The most common shape, and the one most travellers use.
30% at booking, 70% at 60 days. Two payments, because there is not enough runway for a sensible third.
Payable in full at the time of booking, since the balance date has already passed. Late bookings are welcome — we simply need to settle the suppliers immediately.
Prefer to pay it all at once? That is entirely acceptable and you are welcome to do it at any stage — at booking, or partway through the schedule. Paying early costs no more and no less. It simply closes the matter.
The schedules above are our standard shapes. Where a different rhythm would suit you better, say so when you enquire and your specialist will build one around the same two fixed points.
What The Deposit Buys You
Thirty percent does more than reserve a place.
Your Price, Held
Once the deposit is received, the figure you were quoted is the figure you pay. Lodge and park fee increases after that point are ours to carry.
Your Dates, Held
Camps, permits and internal flights are booked and confirmed in your name rather than pencilled in.
Your Specialist
The same person who quoted the journey stays with it from deposit to departure, and remains reachable while you travel.
Room To Change
A confirmed booking can still be adjusted. Tell us early enough and most changes cost nothing beyond any supplier difference.
How It Works
Four steps, and no small print you have not seen.
01
We quote the journey
You receive the full cost, what it includes, and the payment schedule attached to your booking date — before anything is charged.
02
You pay 30%
The deposit confirms the booking. Every element is secured at the quoted price from that moment.
03
Instalments as scheduled
We invoice each instalment ahead of its date. Nothing is taken automatically and nothing arrives unannounced.
04
Settled at 60 days
The balance clears two months out, and your final documents follow. After that, there is nothing left to do but pack.
Questions
Frequently asked.
A deposit of 30% of the total journey cost confirms your booking. That is what secures your camps, lodges, permits and internal flights at the rates quoted to you.
The final balance is due 60 days before departure. If you book within 60 days of travelling, the journey is payable in full at the time of booking.
Yes. You are welcome to settle the full amount at any point — at booking, or at any stage before the 60-day mark. There is no penalty for paying early and no discount lost by doing so.
No. The instalment schedule costs exactly the same as paying in full. We do not add interest, admin charges or financing fees.
Within reason, yes. The two fixed points are the 30% deposit at booking and full settlement 60 days before departure. How you spread the balance between those points is something your specialist can arrange around you.
Once your deposit is received, the price quoted to you is the price you pay. Rate increases after that point are ours to absorb, not yours.
Journeys are quoted in US dollars. We accept bank transfer and major card payments, and your specialist will confirm the details on your invoice.
Cancellation terms are set out in full on your booking confirmation before you pay anything. Your specialist will walk you through them at the point of quoting, so nothing in them is a surprise later.
Book it now. Pay for it as the year goes.
