Welcome to Kasongoyeye Safaris Travel DMC. By booking a safari with us, you agree to the following terms and conditions, which define the responsibilities and obligations between you (the client) and Kasongoyeye Safaris ("we", "us"). These conditions ensure transparency and trust and are designed to provide a seamless safari experience.

Each client receives a customized safari itinerary. While we aim to deliver all outlined services, changes may be made due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather, road closures, or safety concerns. Any changes will be communicated and alternative options provided of similar quality.

Traveling in Tanzania and East Africa involves adapting to local conditions. Unexpected changes to government park fees and taxes may occur. Kasongoyeye Safaris reserves the right to adjust final prices accordingly.

A 45% deposit confirms your booking. Full payment is required at least 65 days before the safari start date. Airline tickets must be paid 100% upfront. Bookings made within 65 days must be paid in full.

We accept bank wire transfers. All banking charges must be borne by the client.

Post-confirmation changes incur a $75 fee per person ($100 for US). Changes within 12 weeks are treated as cancellations.
