Safari Booking Policy
Planning your climb to Safari should be exciting, not stressful. That’s why we keep our booking process simple, flexible, and transparent from start to finish.
Secure & Transparent Booking
All bookings are only confirmed once you receive a Booking Confirmation Voucher from us.
A minimum deposit of 30% of the total booking cost is required to confirm your reservation.
The balance payment must be settled by the due date specified in your booking confirmation.
If the balance is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking without a refund of the deposit.
Simple 30% Deposit
You can pay via: • Bank Transfer / Wire Transfer • Online Payment Gateway (Visa, MasterCard, etc.). Please note these transactions will incur a 5% surcharge (payment gateway fee).
All payment details are processed securely. Ascend Tanzania does not retain full card details on our systems.
Balance Payment Options
Bank Transfer (Recommended) – We recommend completing the payment at least 15 days before the trek start date (30 days prior is preferred for smoother processing).
Cash Payment in Tanzania – Pay directly to our team during the pre-trek briefing in US Dollars only. Please note that Tanzania accepts USD notes printed in 2009 or later only.
Online Card Payment – Balance payments can be made online by card atleast 1 day before the trek start date. A 5% surcharge applies due to international card processing fee.
