Payment terms and conditions
Travel today is not the same as it was 25 years ago! In the "good old days" of African hunting, companies asked hunters to travel with ridiculous amounts of cash to pay for their hunts or wanted pre-payment months or years in advance for all trophy fees and daily rates even when no one could be sure
of harvest in a wild hunting situation. Unfortunately, this led to PH's living on deposits and when a problem arose, as is COMMON in Africa, it left many clients with lost deposits and no real way to get their money back. Folks, in today's world, if the hunting company you are considering doesn't take plastic BEWARE!! Do not take out large amounts of cash and by all means don't wire money ahead of time anywhere. In some cases, it may be appropriate to wire funds for trophy fees but only after the deed has been done--after all, if your company of choice is so cash-strapped they have to have your cash there and then, maybe you should rethink the hunt. Travel today is a little iffier than the steam ships of yesteryear and we advise you travel with no more currency than you need to cover tips and ancillary costs of the trip.
The Safari Connection terms
50% non-refundable deposit is required to book ANY hunt listed on this site but in many cases where trophy fees are assessed on/after harvesting this fee may only be a portion of the total hunt cost. Fees for trophies can be pre-paid by escrow check or prepaid by leaving a credit card on file with us. (Credit cards are charged a 3% fee.) The balance of daily rates or package hunts is payable no less than 30 days prior to the hunt, and failure to pay can forfeit all prior payments and void the safari contract. In an effort to be 100% transparent, we will not charge the card for additional trophy fees until you authorize us either verbally or by email while still in camp. Your hunting company will make one of these options available and we will not release funds to any companies until we are 100% certain it is the customers wish to do so and that all parties are satisfied with the hunt.
