Sengwa Safaris. (the "Agent") accepts bookings on behalf of affiliates and sub-contractors (the "Company") subject to the following conditions: A provisional booking will be held for a maximum of 14 days and is confirmed only after the Agent receives a completed Enquiry Form or explicit instructions together with a minimum 20% deposit (in the case of group bookings or reservations on "non-preferential" suppliers, the required deposit will be advised on initial reservation). Completion of the Enquiry Form or delivery of instructions constitutes acceptance of these Booking Conditions on behalf of all persons as may be named in connection with that booking and all such persons shall hereinafter be referred to as "the Client".

Failure to remit your deposit on time may result in an automatic release of the confirmed space and the possible inability to reinstate your reservation. When the company acknowledges receipt of the deposit, it shall be deemed to constitute acceptance and confirmation of the reservation. The balance of all monies due in relation to the booking must be paid no later than 45 days before departure or the Agent reserves the right to treat the booking as having been cancelled in which case cancellation charges will be applied. A Client wishing to cancel a place or places on a tour must do so in writing delivered by first-class mail, via acknowledged e-mail or facsimile and the cancellation shall be deemed to have been made on the date that such notice is received by the Agent.
