​

The rates do not include any other items such as your international air travel, airline fees, airport or departure taxes, visas, customary gratuities, required travel insurance, driver, local guides, hotel housekeepers, cruise ship waitstaff, and any incidental charges. Each tour varies slightly, so please email info@findyourafricatravel.com for additional details.

After applying for a tour on the website, space permitting, you will receive an official invitation email or follow up phone call confirming tour space is available. In order to reserve your place on said tour, an initial 25% non-refundable deposit is due within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of your invitation email or phone call. The invitation email will include a credit card authorization form or a secure link for you to complete payment. A second non-refundable deposit of 25% is required 120 days (4 months) in advance. Final balance payment will be due 81 days (2.5 months) prior to scheduled departure. If your booking is made within eighty (80) days of the scheduled departure date, then payment in full for the tour will be required at the time of booking. FYA Travel requires payment in full prior to the tour. Prices are in U.S. dollars. All payments must be made by charge to any major credit card company (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express). Credit card transactions may be subject to an additional processing fee. 

​

After we receive your initial deposit, FYA Travel will thereafter provide you with detailed pre-tour information including travel insurance requirements, a packing list, visa information (if required), health and safety standards for the tour, additional COVID-19 requirements. A final, detailed tour itinerary will be provided approximately two weeks prior to the scheduled tour.

All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Passengers using the credit card authorization payment option, will have deposits applied to the authorized credit card on the stated due dates. For passengers using a self-pay secure link, if the payments are not made on or before their respective due dates, we reserve the right to treat your booking as canceled, and we will not be held liable for any refunds, tour credits, costs, expenses, travel insurance costs, airfare, visa fees, inoculations, etc. related to your booking or preparation for your scheduled tour. Should for any reason, FYA Travel initiate a tour cancellation, your deposits will be refunded or applied as credits to an equivalent tour.

Proof of travel insurance is required prior to participating in any FYA Travel tour, covering all applicable dates of travel. We do not accept credit card insurance as proof of travel insurance for our tours. Travel insurance should cover personal injury, emergency medical expenses, medical evacuation coverage, trip cancellation and interruption, as well as baggage loss. You are strongly recommended to extend your coverage to include cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that may arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience while traveling. You acknowledge that insurance coverage is not included in the cost of any tour offered by FYA Travel and you are required to obtain separate coverage at an additional cost.

Since FYA Travel does not offer refunds for guest-initiated cancelation, if you elect to cancel for any reason other than FYA Travel canceling or being unable to offer the tour, you should file a claim with your travel insurance provider to determine if they will cover any payments already made to FYA Travel. Again, because payments made to FYA Travel are non-refundable, you should consider adding appropriate cancellation coverage to your policy. 

Once you have purchased your travel insurance policy, you will be required to provide a copy of the policy to FYA Travel by emailing info@findyourafricatravel.com.
