"An awesome day that captured alot of the main attractions. It was most professionally led by Jason, our driver, and Locks, our guide. They went above and beyond to cater for our every need and adjusted our day when the heat became a bit of a challenge. Our son left his hat on the sunset cruise boat. Jason, on his day off, collected the hat, kept in contact and delivered it to us. We were so appreciative of that as well as both their efforts to ensure we had a superb day. Lunch at Bains overlooking the Zambezi River was excellent, as was the sunset cruise followed by the Boma dinner. Of course our walk the length of the falls was spectacular with Locks giving us plenty of information along the way"

Seven extraordinary corners of Southern Africa, each with its own soul, wildlife, and stories waiting to unfold.
Mosi-oa-Tunya — The Smoke that Thunders. The world's largest curtain of falling water.
Victoria Falls — known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya — is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Straddling the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls plunge 108 metres into the Batoka Gorge, creating an eternal mist visible from 50km away.
Beyond the falls, Victoria Falls is a thrilling adventure hub with white-water rafting, bungee jumping, sunset cruises, and world-class game viewing in the surrounding national parks.
Victoria Falls is year-round — each season offers a different experience.

Born in Africa. Shaped by the bush. Driven by a love for sharing its wonders with the world.
Bantu Safari was born from a deep love of Southern Africa's wild places. Founded in 2009, we grew from a small Victoria Falls operation into a full-service safari company spanning seven extraordinary destinations.
Every team member grew up in the bush. We know these places not as tourists, but as home. That intimacy is what we bring to every itinerary.
Small team. Big heart. Between us, our knowledge of Southern Africa runs so deep that we’ve forgotten more than most people will ever know :).
The visionary who turned a love for the African wild into a fully-fledged safari operation. Thoko handles the big picture so you don't have to. From budgets, partnerships to strategy. Rumour has it he once negotiated a lodge rate while watching a lion pride at sunset. He neither confirms nor denies this.
If the bush had a PhD programme, Israel would be the professor. With more game drives under his belt than he cares to count, he makes sure every single tour runs like clockwork. From first enquiry to final farewell. Guests often say he knew where the elephants were before the elephants did.
Locs oversees every guide on the ground and sets the standard for what a Bantu Safari experience should feel like. She personally leads tours at Victoria Falls, Chobe, and Livingstone, the routes she knows better than most people know their own neighbourhoods. Guests don't just get a guide; they get someone who's been reading these landscapes her entire life.
The engine room. Buhle keeps enquiries flowing, bookings confirmed, and the whole operation humming. Equal parts creative and organised, she'll craft your dream itinerary, post about it, and have your confirmation email in your inbox before you've closed the tab.
Real words from real travellers who explored Southern Africa with us.
Every review below comes from a guest who travelled with us. No scripts, no incentives, just honest experiences from people who love Africa as much as we do.
"The team was very kind, communicative, informative, knowledgeable, and a blast to be around! They take care of you at every step, and made sure we had a fantastic experience!"
"It was OUTSTANDING! Breath-taking!!!! We saw every type of animal except Leopards. Too bad no Leopards appeared, but we saw everything else! WONDERFUL!!!"
"It was fabulous and our guide Locke was knowledgeable about the falls and connected well with our group."
"Bantu Safaris staff were very knowledgeable and wonderful to answer all my questions. I felt very safe as a solo traveler."
"I can't think of enough adjectives to describe how amazing this tour was, coupled with the wonderful Locks who was incredibly knowledgeable about Victoria Falls. It may have been a more amazing trip seeing the Falls in high season."
"Very good tour operator because they adjust the schedule to meet our requests. Easy to talk to and even make sure we go home safely. Will definitely recommend Bantu Tour operators to those who would like to experience Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe."

12 carefully crafted itineraries across Southern Africa's finest destinations.
Mountains, oceans, world-class wine and the most beautiful city on the African continent.
Cape Town is a city of extraordinary contrasts — where the iconic Table Mountain towers over white sandy beaches, world-renowned wine estates stretch along scenic valleys, and penguins waddle across the shores of Boulders Beach. It is consistently rated one of the world's most beautiful cities, and it is easy to see why.
Most visitors combine Cape Town with a Kruger safari for the ultimate South African experience. Spend a few days exploring the Cape Peninsula, the Garden Route, and the Winelands before heading north for the Big Five. Our safari specialists can craft the perfect combination itinerary for you.

Africa's most celebrated safari destination — home to the Big Five and over 500 bird species.
Kruger National Park is the jewel of South African safari. Covering nearly 20,000 km² — roughly the size of Wales — it protects one of Africa's most diverse ecosystems. Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo roam freely alongside cheetah, wild dog, hippo, giraffe and over 500 bird species.
The park's excellent road network, wide range of accommodation, and accessibility from Johannesburg (just 5 hours by road) make it the ideal first safari destination. Pair it with the stunning Panorama Route — home to Blyde River Canyon, God's Window and Bourke's Luck Potholes — for a truly unforgettable road trip.

Zimbabwe's largest national park — legendary for its vast elephant herds and untouched wilderness.
Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe's largest game reserve, covering 14,651 km² of pristine bush. It is most famous for its enormous elephant herds — over 45,000 elephants call the park home, making it one of the highest concentrations on the continent. But Hwange is far more than elephants. Lion, leopard, wild dog, sable antelope and over 400 bird species inhabit this spectacular wilderness.
Unlike the busier parks further south, Hwange offers a true off-the-beaten-path safari experience. The park has excellent private concessions and lodges that operate exclusive game drives with very few vehicles in the area — the kind of intimate wildlife encounters that are increasingly rare in Africa. Hwange is also conveniently located just 100km from Victoria Falls, making it ideal to combine both destinations.

Africa's greatest river safari and a UNESCO World Heritage wetland — wildlife viewing like nowhere else on earth.
Chobe National Park in northern Botswana is home to the world's highest concentration of African elephants — over 120,000 animals gather along the Chobe River during the dry season. Game drives and boat safaris here deliver heart-stopping wildlife encounters: elephant, buffalo and lion at the waterfront, hippo pods just metres from your boat, and crocodiles sunning on every bank.
The Okavango Delta is one of Africa's last true wilderness areas and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An inland river delta that fans out into the Kalahari Desert, it creates a mosaic of lagoons, islands and floodplains teeming with wildlife. Explore by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) or motorboat, encountering lion, wild dog, leopard and hundreds of bird species in a landscape of breathtaking beauty.

Zulu culture, Big Five reserves, iSimangaliso wetlands and warm Indian Ocean beaches — all in one province.
KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is one of South Africa's most diverse provinces, offering an extraordinary combination of safari, culture and beach in a relatively compact area. The province is home to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park — the oldest proclaimed nature reserve in Africa — where both black and white rhino roam alongside lion, elephant, leopard and buffalo.
The iSimangaliso Wetland Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing ancient swamp forests, hippo and croc-filled lakes, turtle nesting beaches, and magnificent coral reefs. Further south, Durban's Golden Mile beaches and buzzing Victoria Street Market offer a vibrant urban contrast. This is truly a destination that has it all.

Malaria-free Big Five safari, the dramatic Wild Coast and South Africa's most underrated wildlife destination.
The Eastern Cape is South Africa's best-kept safari secret. Private reserves like Shamwari, Addo Elephant Park, and Amakhala offer outstanding Big Five game viewing in a completely malaria-free environment — making it the top choice for families with young children, pregnant travellers, or anyone who prefers not to take antimalarial medication.
Beyond the reserves, the Wild Coast is one of Africa's most dramatic and unspoiled coastlines — rugged sea cliffs, hidden beaches, traditional Xhosa villages and the turquoise Indian Ocean. The Eastern Cape is also the birthplace of Nelson Mandela and home to some of South Africa's most significant cultural heritage. A destination that rewards slow, curious travel.

The ultimate Southern Africa journey — a grand sweep through six destinations covering the continent's most iconic wildlife highlights. From the thundering curtain of Victoria Falls to the elephant-crowded floodplains of Chobe, the lush Okavango Delta waterways, the rolling dunes of Eswatini, the undisturbed wilderness of Hwange, and the copper-tinted plains of Zambia. This is Africa at its most complete.
Every logistical detail is handled so you can simply be present for Africa's most extraordinary moments. Our local guides bring decades of experience and genuine passion to every game drive and nature walk.

A perfectly focused introduction to Africa's most iconic game reserve. Kruger National Park is home to all of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo — as well as over 500 bird species and 140 mammal species. Three nights gives you enough time for meaningful wildlife encounters without rushing.
Your accommodation is inside the park, meaning you're in prime game viewing territory from dawn to dusk. Expert rangers lead morning and afternoon drives in open 4x4 vehicles.
Transfer from Johannesburg or Hoedspruit airport. Check in to your lodge, then an afternoon game drive as the heat drops and animals become active.
Early morning sunrise drive — the best time for predator sightings. Return for breakfast. Afternoon drive at golden hour. Sundowner in the bush.

Hwange is Zimbabwe's largest national park and one of Africa's great elephant sanctuaries — home to over 40,000 elephants. Unlike the well-trodden Kruger, Hwange offers an exclusive, uncrowded wilderness experience where you may go hours without seeing another vehicle.
This three-night stay balances game drives, guided walks, and cultural interactions to give you a complete picture of this extraordinary ecosystem.

A full immersion day inside Kruger National Park — Africa's most celebrated game reserve. Your expert guide will navigate the park's diverse habitats seeking out the Big Five and hundreds of other species across a full 10-hour safari day.
Unlike a quick transit, a full day allows you to follow animal behaviour, wait patiently at waterholes, and experience the park through golden dawn, burning midday, and magical sunset light.
Pick up from your hotel in the Hazyview or Hoedspruit area. Travel to the park gates at sunrise — the most active time for predators.
Prime predator hours. Lion prides are often on the move. Leopard may be spotted in trees. Elephant herds gather at rivers.

Animals return to water sources in the heat. Late afternoon brings the golden hour — perfect for photography. Rhinos are most active at dusk.
The Cape Peninsula is one of the most scenic drives on earth — dramatic Atlantic coastline, ancient fynbos, colonial fishing villages, and the famous African penguin colony at Boulders Beach. This 3-day tour covers the essential highlights at a relaxed pace.
The Cape of Good Hope is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the south-western tip of the African continent. Stand at the signpost, watch the waves crash on two oceans, and feel the full drama of this extraordinary place.
Pick-up from your hotel. Drive south along the Atlantic Seaboard — Sea Point, Clifton, Camps Bay — some of the most expensive real estate in Africa.

Three of Southern Africa's greatest wildlife destinations in one focused journey. This itinerary moves from the spectacle of Victoria Falls to the elephant paradise of Chobe, and finally to the remote splendour of Hwange — Zimbabwe's largest and most celebrated national park.
Each destination is distinct in character: Victoria Falls is drama and adrenaline, Chobe is sheer wildlife density, and Hwange is deep, uninterrupted wilderness. Together they form one of Africa's finest safari circuits.

Zimbabwe's two greatest natural wonders combined in a compact five-day itinerary. Victoria Falls is the world's largest curtain of falling water — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that must be experienced to be believed. Hwange National Park, just three hours away, is Zimbabwe's wildlife jewel.
This is the ideal Zimbabwe introduction — dramatic enough to satisfy first-time visitors, with enough depth to leave you wanting to return.

Final dawn drive. Transfer back to Victoria Falls Airport for your departure.

Two nights gives you enough time to experience the Falls from every angle: from the rainforest walk on the Zimbabwe side, the Zambian viewpoints, the Zambezi River at sunset, and — for the brave — the adrenaline activities that have made this place world famous.
Whether you want to stand in the spray of the Falls, float in a canoe above the gorge, or simply watch the Zambezi turn gold at sunset — this short escape delivers big on wonder.
Arrive at Victoria Falls Airport. Check in and refresh. Afternoon guided walk through the rainforest to all main viewpoints on the Zimbabwe side — prepare to get soaked! Evening Zambezi sunset cruise.

Forget the zoo — there is nothing like coming up close with Africa's famed Big 5 (Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo and Leopard) in the untamed wild. Not only will it be unforgettable, you will learn a wealth of knowledge about their distinct habits and habitats from the best safari guides in Africa.
At Bantu Safari we know the bush and wildlife of all our safari destinations like nobody else. You are guaranteed a safe, authentic and satisfying safari experience. With us, you won't be rushed from one game viewing spot to another. Rather, our knowledgeable expert guides will take you on a smooth, unravelling discovery of Africa's finest wildlife frontiers.
A Big 5 Safari is a mosaic of experiences. It is not just jumping on the safari truck and heading for the bush. It is about finding the best national park with the highest sighting chances, booking safari camps with impeccable service and facilities, and letting Bantu Safari take care of your itinerary from the time you arrive until your trip is — sadly — over.
Life-changing adventures the whole family will never forget.
Nothing beats the raw drama, adventure and suspense experienced on a family safari holiday in Africa. Go in search of the big cats across the savannah, see giraffes, zebras and elephants grazing their day away, and hear the grunts and barks of baboons as the sun sets.
Going on a safari with your children is a life-changing experience. The landscape is an enormous outdoor classroom and our safari guides will be some of the most inspiring teachers your children ever have. Guides pack days full of family-friendly and educational activities such as dung identification, paw and hoof print tracking, and learning about the medicinal properties of the local flora.
Families with younger children will love the malaria-free safaris in the Eastern and Western Capes of South Africa. Safety comes first with children on safari and our experienced guides ensure parents never have to worry. For teenagers, a safari is the ultimate holiday — incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes and adrenaline-filled activities. If there is a better way to draw teenagers away from screens, we would love to hear it.
The best of both worlds — wild game drives and pristine coastline.
With Bantu Safari, you can have your safari cake and eat all of it. No Southern African safari is complete without walking and frolicking on some of the world's most pristine beaches in Durban, the Eastern and Western Cape. After thrilling encounters with Africa's famed Big 5 in the untamed wild, cap it all off with breathtaking coastline drives, marine life encounters and coastal water activities.
At Bantu Safari we know the bush, wildlife and coastline of Southern Africa like nobody else. You are guaranteed a safe, authentic and satisfying safari experience.

Five-star wilderness — private camps, expert guides and unmatched exclusivity.
With Bantu Safari, a Southern African Luxury Safari is more than pristine safari bush camps with 5-star facilities and Egyptian cotton sheets. It is an unforgettable mosaic of the ultimate quintessential experiences in the heart of the world's best wildlife habitats.
It is about the almost untouched wildlife frontiers we will take you to. It is about the highly personalised curation of exclusive destinations that most only dream of, and the best private tour guides who will be with you throughout your entire safari.
From private VIP airport transfers and charter planes to remote, exclusive 5-star safari camps that offer Michelin-star-rivalling cuisine, your Luxury Safari with us is nothing short of royalty. You will not find the best luxury safari camps through a quick internet search — but from us, who have explored the very best that Southern Africa has to offer.
All the wildlife thrills, none of the health concerns — perfect for families.
At Bantu Safari, we understand that your health is very important while on safari. Malaria is a mosquito-borne tropical disease prevalent in the Kruger, Chobe, Victoria Falls and Hwange safari destinations. Malaria prophylaxis is a must for these destinations.
However, the Eastern and Western Cape are completely malaria-free, and here we also offer authentic Big 5 wildlife safaris. For your peace of mind, a Malaria Free Safari is the perfect tour when travelling with children, whose exposure to this risk — though minimal — must be avoided.
With us, you won't be rushed from one game viewing spot to another. Our knowledgeable expert guides will take you on a smooth, unravelling discovery of Africa's finest wildlife frontiers — safely and comfortably. It is about finding those malaria-free national parks with the highest sighting chances and booking safari camps with impeccable service.
Victoria Falls, the Okavango Delta, Table Mountain — witness Africa's most iconic sights.
Southern Africa is home to some of the most jaw-dropping natural wonders on earth. From the thundering curtain of Victoria Falls — the largest waterfall in the world — to the sweeping plains of the Okavango Delta and the iconic flat-topped silhouette of Table Mountain above Cape Town.
At Bantu Safari we curate experiences around these iconic landmarks that go far beyond the standard tourist trail. We take you to the viewpoints most visitors never find, at the times of day when the light is at its most magical, with guides who can tell you every story these landscapes hold.
Whether you want to stand at the edge of the Falls and feel the spray on your face, take a mokoro through the papyrus channels of the Delta, or hike to the summit of Table Mountain as the sun rises — we make it happen.
Authentic African safari experiences that respect your wallet without compromise.
An authentic safari need not burn a large hole in your pocket. We organise safari tours and run camps that are affordable without compromising on the quality of the experience or service. On our budget safaris, you will still go on memorable safari game drives and walks led by the best guides. You will still have 3-course bush dinners, fresh linen every night and stay at well-rated bush camps.
Your Budget Safari does not mean an inferior experience. It means we will tailor your safari holiday to your budget. We are able to give you value for your money because we operate our own tours, transfers and some of the safari camps where you will stay.
At Bantu Safari we know the bush and wildlife of all our safari destinations like nobody else. You are guaranteed a safe, authentic and satisfying safari experience.

(b) when we receive full payment of the holiday as quoted on the Provisional Booking Invoice we issue you when the booking is made less than 70 days before your departure date.
Please note that all prices quoted on the Provisional Booking Invoice are valid for 7 days – due to changes in exchange rates, amongst other reasons. If you accept our quoted prices in respect of your holiday you must make a payment of 25% of the total price of the quote within 7 days. A delay in acceptance (and Payment) of the Provisional Booking Invoice may result in a variation of the holiday price or cancellation of your Provisional Booking.
We require the balance of quoted price to be made for your holiday 70 days prior to the departure date. If full payment is not received 70 days prior to the departure date, we reserve the right to cancel your holiday and apply the cancellation procedures and charges set out in Section 5.
Where the proposed departure date is within 70 Days of the Provisional Booking Invoice issued, we require full payment at the time of your acceptance of the quoted Booking.
No contract will exist between the parties until such monies as mentioned in (a) and (b) above have been received.
Cancellation will be without penalty to us and we will have no further liability to you. If however, you have already provided us with your credit or debit card details whether this was to make a payment on account or not, and you do not specifically notify us in writing to the contrary prior to the date upon which any balance becomes payable by you, you agree that we may use such credit or debit card details to obtain payment of any balance due by you under this agreement.
You may also be required to pay for any non-transferable and non-refundable items such as special attraction tickets or entry permits and any other applicable supplements due at the time of booking.
Payment can be made by:
International Bank Transfer (Subject to International Bank Transaction Charges).
Please note that International Bank Transfer payments must reach our Company Bank Accounts not later than 7 day after the Provisional Booking Invoice is issued.
After Full payment has been received, Departure Documents (Booking Invoice, Booking Itinerary and Booking Vouchers) will be emailed to you within 48 Hours and will not be issued unless payment of the due balance has been received and any international payments have cleared. You are kindly advised to print out all these documents and retain them on your person when you travel as Booking Vouchers may need to be presented to service providers.
Please carefully read ALL these documents we send you as soon as you receive them. Contact us immediately if any information appears to be incorrect as it may not be possible to make changes later. Names on travel documents must exactly match those in your passports. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any documentation within 14 days of our sending it out. You will be responsible for any costs and expenses involved in rectifying any mistakes except those made by us.
If there are obvious errors on any of the Departure Documents, we reserve the right to correct it as soon as we become aware of and will do this within 7 days of issuing the Departure Documents or, if your departure is within 7 days, no later than 24 hours before you go. If any of these changes are not acceptable then you will be entitled to a full refund less any transactional fees.
The prices quoted in our brochures, on our website or in our publicity and promotions from time to time are correct at the time of publication. In the event of any change in our prices to those stated we will notify you prior to accepting your booking. Our prices can be quoted in GBP/USD/EURO/ZAR.
All guide prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. Prices include a cost for fuel that was estimated at the date of this publication. Prices on our website are updated regularly. In the unlikely event of an administrative error leading to an incorrect price being displayed, we reserve the right to correct it.
The price payable by you for your holiday and what this price includes will be confirmed to you by us at the time of booking and set out in our booking confirmation.
Our holiday prices do not normally include:
Visa fees, Airline Fees, porterage, personal expenditure, hotel extras, fuel and extras for car hire.
Taxes or compulsory charges introduced by Governments, regulatory bodies or service providers after you have booked.
Security charges introduced or increased after you have booked relating to transportation costs.
Some bookings or prices are dependent on the number of participants or occupants and if this applies to your holiday arrangements you will be notified by us at the time of booking. We reserve the right to make further charges where numbers fall below those required to qualify for the discount offered or price otherwise appropriate. We also reserve the right to cancel such a booking in the event that numbers fall below the required number at any time up to 30 days prior to your due date of departure.
For those holidays where an additional local payment is required this will be confirmed to you. A local payment is a portion of the holiday cost which must be paid directly to the local representative as instructed. If the price of your holiday includes a local payment this must be paid in the currency specified. Please note that your tour price will not be considered to have been paid in full until the local payment has been made.
Tourist taxes, resort fees or similar that are charged locally may be implemented or changed without warning. We do not accept responsibility for these costs, which must be paid by you and are not included within your holiday price
Surcharges – Matters influencing a surcharge would include, but are not limited to, increases in transportation costs (fuel), increases in park fees, reserve fees or concession fees. The price of your itinerary will be based on known costs at the date of issue of the itinerary. At any time before a full payment of your holiday has been made, we reserve the right to levy a surcharge where costs have changed since the date of issue of the itinerary. We will absorb amounts up to 2% of the total holiday price and surcharge any amount greater than 2%. Should the surcharge exceed 10% of the total holiday price you are entitled to cancel the holiday and receive a full refund of all monies paid, less transaction fees. We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your holiday is confirmed. We will advise you of any errors of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking.
If you wish to change your itinerary after a deposit has been made, we will do our utmost to make the changes required, if notification is received in writing. On some occasions, if members of a group booking withdraw, there are fixed costs which mean the remaining travelling party must pay more per person. We require your authority in writing before we can make any change.
If any change is requested in relation to a group booking, we require the authority in writing of the lead booking name before we can make the change.
The Amendment fee payable will be usd50 per person where your request is received by us 70 days or more prior to your date of departure and usd70 per person where the request is received less than 70 days prior to your date of departure. This charge is non-refundable. We cannot make alterations to your itinerary within 35 days of departure and any such request will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and will be subject to the cancellation charges set out under ‘Cancellation by you.’
Transfers – Where you or any member of your party is prevented from travelling for any reason (including death, illness or jury service) we will transfer your booking to any other person satisfying all the requirements relating to your holiday notified to us by you in writing a reasonable time prior to your due date of departure.
Treatment of changes by our suppliers – Many of our suppliers, particularly airlines, accommodation, cruise companies and safari operators, do not permit us to change names or travel dates and impose full cancellation charges. We will pass these on to you in addition to our administration charge, where applicable.
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your holiday although we reserve the right to make changes at any time. Most of these changes are minor and we will advise you of these in writing as soon as possible. When a major change is necessary such as a significant change in the standard of accommodation, provided it does not arise from conditions amounting to force majeure, you will have the choice:
to transfer to another holiday offered by us (subject to availability) of equivalent or superior quality
to transfer to another holiday offered by us (subject to availability) of lower quality and receive a refund for any difference in price
to cancel your holiday and receive a refund of all monies paid by you to us (including all deposits and excluding transaction fees)
Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the above-mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care.
No compensation will be payable, and the above-mentioned options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel, or if the change is a minor one.
A minor change is a change which, considering the information you give us at the time of booking or which we can reasonably be expected to know as a tour operator, we would not reasonably expect to have a significant effect on your confirmed holiday.
No compensation is payable for children aged 2 and under. Please note we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sums of any description, which:
(a) based on the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you, or
(b) did not result from any breach of contract or any other fault by ourselves or our employees, or where we are responsible for them our suppliers. Additionally, we cannot accept liability for any sums which relate to any business losses.
If you wish, following the issue to you by us of our booking confirmation, to cancel your booking or any part of it relating to any person (in the case of a group booking), we will require your authority in writing or (in the case of a group booking) the authority in writing of the lead booking name to do so.
Our cancellation charges will apply (see the table ‘cancellation charges’ below). These are calculated with reference to the date on which we receive your authority in writing. We will not refund to you any deposits, administration charges, insurance premiums or any other fees or charges made by us and paid by you relating to your holiday in the event of cancellation by you.
We incur costs from the time you make your booking and you agree that if you cancel your booking you will compensate us for our losses and expenses, as per the table below. Our cancellation charges increase the nearer the cancellation is made to your departure date as we may not be able to resell your holiday without making significant price reductions, or at all.
We strongly recommend that you take out insurance cover for cancellation adequate to cover the value of your holiday. Bantu Safari can recommend suitable insurers. For further details please refer to Section.
Number of days left before your due date of departure when your authority in writing is received by us. Cancellation charges are expressed as a percentage of the total holiday price.
| Days before departure | Cancellation charge |
|---|---|
| 70 days or more | Deposit only |
| 56 – 69 days | 35 % |
| 42 – 55 days | 50 % |
| 29 – 41 days | 75 % |
| 0 – 28 days | 100 % |
We will take reasonable care to deliver the holiday which we are contracted to provide to you. As we put in place the arrangements necessary to enable us to offer our range of holidays many months in advance, we may occasionally have to make changes and reserve the right to do so at any time.
We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday for any just reason at any time before full payment has been received. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes, we must reserve the right to do so. In these circumstances we will return to you all monies paid or offer an alternative holiday of a comparable standard. In this event we will pay compensation of usd70 per person. We may cancel your confirmed holiday if you fail to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel.
We cannot accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by, or you suffer any damage or loss as a result of force majeure. In these booking conditions force majeure means any event which we or the supplier of services in question could not even with all due care foresee or avoid.
Such events are likely to include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, civil strife, riot, civil disorder/unrest, industrial dispute, actual or threat of terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, breakout of an epidemic or pandemic disease, technical problems with transport, cancellation or amendment to any scheduled flight, closure or congestion of airports or ports, adverse weather conditions and all similar events outside our control.
In circumstances amounting to force majeure we will not refund any money to you although if we can recover any monies from our suppliers, we will refund these to you.
Firstly, you must review the current travel advice from your respective National Government Foreign Office and your local Tourism Travel Organisation before booking and ensure you remain up to date with this advice before travelling.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you and everyone travelling with you have valid passports, appropriate visas and vaccinations.
Some countries (particularly in Southern Africa) require your passport to have two blank pages for a visa stamp. As a result, if you are travelling in more than one country that requires this you will need to have more blank pages – for example, if you visit South Africa and Namibia, both of which require two free pages, and re-enter South Africa to fly home, you would need six blank pages.
If you have any doubts about the number of pages required, we advise erring on the side of caution, even if this means applying for a new passport. Please ask us for clarification.
Women 28 weeks or more into pregnancy at the time of return travel must have a doctor’s certificate confirming that they are fit to travel (note airlines normally require certification at 32 weeks). We are not liable for any costs, delays or illness resulting from your failure to meet requirements.
You are responsible for ensuring that any existing medical conditions or disabilities which may require assistance are declared to us before you book your holiday or, if newly diagnosed, before your due date of departure so that we can pass these details on to our suppliers in good time.
If you or any member of your party have any medical problem or disability which may affect your holiday, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking.
If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline the booking or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details.
You are responsible for your behaviour and that of your party. We and our suppliers reserve the right to refuse your booking or the right to board or the right to travel and to remove you and/or any member of your party from any transport, accommodation or any part of holiday if you or any member of your party is drunk or under the influence of drink or drugs; if you are or we reasonably believe that you are in unlawful possession of drugs; or are behaving violently, disruptively, dangerously or irresponsibly or in any manner whatsoever which presents a risk to others or is causing a nuisance or annoyance to others.
No refund will be given, or compensation paid, and no costs or expenses for which you become liable or which are incurred by you will be made by us or be recoverable by you from us in such circumstances. You may also become the subject of police inquiry or security measures or investigation and liable if any offence is committed to criminal prosecution and penalties in any other country having jurisdiction in respect of the alleged activity.
You must fully cooperate with and follow any safety procedures and instructions given by any organisation which is running the activities which you do while on holiday. It is possible that such organisations will require you to sign a waiver form in respect of the activity being carried out.
We will offer general advice but cannot be held responsible if you do not comply with current requirements before your departure. We do not accept liability for any advice given of a general nature prior to the holiday commencing. You are responsible for a timely check-in for all flights and for presenting yourself to take up all pre-booked components of your holiday.
No credit or refund will be given to you should you fail to take up any component of your holiday or if you lose any travel documents. We draw your attention to the fact that there are certain inherent risks involved in all the holidays to destinations that we supply, and these must be accepted by you at your own risk. If you wish to discuss any such risks with us, we would be more than happy to provide advice over the telephone or in writing.
We refer to our pre-departure information sheet.
Despite our best endeavours to ensure your holiday runs as smoothly as possible, problems can occur. If you do experience difficulties that cannot be dealt with at the time by the hotel, lodge or camp and any other service provider, please contact (where applicable) our local representatives (contact details available on Booking Voucher).
If they cannot be reached, please contact us on our 24-hour emergency number (number provided on Booking Voucher). Please remember that it may not be feasible to help if you only mention the issue on your return from holiday.
If you have a medical emergency, you must notify your travel insurance providers on their 24-hour emergency telephone number (which should be visible on the cover note). If you cannot make contact, please ring us and we will attempt to reach them.
Many of our trips take place in destinations where local conditions vary enormously, and we carefully select the best partners. However, sometimes circumstances determine that few aspects go a bit awry, we beg for patience and a spirit of adventure, in a positive frame of mind, and in good humour.
We accept responsibility for ensuring your holiday is supplied as described prior to your departure and services provided will reach a reasonable local standard. We will take reasonable skill and care in performing our contractual obligations.
If you feel that any part of your holiday arrangements is not provided as promised, you must, as soon as possible, notify our supplier and either our appointed local representative (where one is appointed) or ourselves (where a local representative is not appointed) in detailed writing at the very earliest opportunity.
Please note we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes for example any additional services or facilities, which your hotel or other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised in our brochure and we have not agreed to arrange them.
The information contained in our brochure and website is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time. Our brochure descriptions and other information provided or made available in a resort, often refers to “other activities and excursions”, which are available in the resort. These activities and excursions are not run nor controlled in any way by us. They do not form any part of your contract with us, even where we suggest or recommend operators/centres/trips and assist you in booking such activities or excursions in any way.
Accordingly, we cannot accept any liability in relation to these outside activities and excursions. Where we make or take any bookings for or from you in respect of any activity or excursion available, we do solely as booking agents. This is the case regardless of whether the activity is advertised or mentioned in our brochure, resort, on our website or elsewhere.
Your contract for any such activity or excursion will be with the supplier or operator of that activity or excursion. We have no liability for any such activity or excursion or for any acts or omissions of the supplier or operator or for of it/their employees or agents or any other persons connected with the activity or excursion.
If we are found liable in any respect for any such activity or excursion for example in our capacity as booking agent, that liability is limited to the cost of the activity or excursion concerned. We do not limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence.
We would remind customers that the infrastructure in developing countries is developing and some resorts may experience the occasional power cut or water shortage. Please note that we will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:
a) The fault of the persons affected or any members of their party, or
b) The fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday, which we could not have predicted or avoided, or
c) An event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the services in question could not have predicted or avoided, even after taking all reasonable care (see force majeure), or
d) The fault of anyone who is not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time.
In addition we will not be responsible where you do not enjoy your holiday or suffer problems because of a reason you did not tell us about when you booked your holiday, or where any problems you suffered did not arise from any breach of our contract, or other fault of ourselves or where we were responsible for them, our suppliers or agents or where any losses, expenses, costs or other sum you have suffered relate to any business.
We accept responsibility for the negligent acts of our employees, agents and direct suppliers, which results in death, injury or illness. Our liability shall be limited to 200% of the holiday price for any claim other than those involving injury or death arising from our negligence.
Our suppliers, such as accommodation or transport suppliers, have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the supplier.
Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport providers or other suppliers’ liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from any offices of the relevant suppliers. If you or any member of your party is killed, injured or becomes ill as a result of transport by aircraft, ship, train or coach, the amount of compensation we will pay is limited in line with the International Conventions that include but are not limited to the Warsaw Convention, the Athens Convention, the Berne Convention, and the Geneva Convention.
Where, as a result of our failure to properly perform our obligations, we have failed to provide you with a significant proportion of the services which you have contracted with us to provide, if you are still on holiday through us we will (where possible and appropriate to the circumstances), endeavour to organise suitable alternative arrangements at no extra cost to you and may pay you an amount in compensation.
Where, as a result of our improper performance, we have failed to provide you with a significant proportion of the services which you have contracted with us to provide and suitable alternative arrangements are not available or are unacceptable to you for good reasons then (where appropriate) we will make arrangements for you (and where other members of your party are affected, those members of your party) to return to your place of departure at no extra cost to you.
In all other cases (i.e. where we have not failed to provide you with a significant proportion of the services which you have contracted with us to provide) our obligation following your notification to us is to investigate matters and (where appropriate) make prompt efforts to find appropriate solutions.
We do not accept responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of any third parties with whom you may have made any bookings or arrangements direct.
We do not accept any responsibility for death, injury or illness caused by any act or omission whether of any third parties acting outside of our authority, instructions or control or with whom you may have made any bookings or arrangements direct or any cause which we could not reasonably prevent.
We are not liable to you where our failure or the improper performance of any of our obligations to you is due to:
any fault or failure of any third party unconnected with us and the provision of the services for which you have contracted with us to provide which are unforeseeable or unavoidable
circumstances beyond our or beyond our suppliers’ reasonable control, although we will endeavour following notification to us to provide you with our prompt assistance where our failure or improper performance results from circumstances not due to any fault or failure of you or any member of your party.
You should note that any acceptance of liability on our part is subject in all cases to set off or reduction of the amount of any claim made against us to take into account any amount paid to you or any member of your party at any time arising from the same cause or circumstances by any of our suppliers or pursuant to a policy of insurance.
Our suppliers and our local representatives are instructed not to act as our agents in booking any alternative activities other than those approved and offered by us and which you have purchased directly from us. Any assistance they may offer at your request in relation to such activities does not imply they have acted as our agent or with our authority or approval. We are not responsible for such activities and have no liability to you in respect of any of them.
Special requirements – If you have any special requirements (dietary or otherwise) you must inform us of these at the time of booking so that we can pass these onto our suppliers. We cannot guarantee that your requirements will be met, however, and we are not liable to you if your wishes are not met.
Bantu Safari requires ALL clients to purchase travel insurance. You must be fully insured for your holiday and must make sure that all the activities which you will be carrying out are covered by such insurance.
This insurance must include adequate cancellation insurance to the value of your holiday, emergency evacuation and repatriation costs in respect of all your activities.
Please note that the travel insurance provided by some credit card providers often only offers the minimum coverage and, whoever your insurer, you should always check for any exclusion of activities that you might be undertaking.
We reserve the right to cancel your holiday at any time should such a policy not be taken out by you.
As required by legislation in the UK and the EU, when you purchase a holiday trip organised by us, you are protected from our, highly unlikely, financial failure due to insolvency for the initial deposit, and subsequently the balance of monies paid as detailed in your booking confirmation form.
Your payments are fully covered by the Travel Regulation Insolvency Protection Scheme provided for by our Insurance Partners.
9. Data Protection
The protection of your personal information or data is extremely important to us. In order to respond to an enquiry, process and fulfil your booking or send you a brochure or other promotional material, we need to collect personal data from you.
We will only process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy for or in connection with the purpose for which you have provided it (for example, arranging your holiday) or as you have consented to our using it (for example, to send you marketing material) or as permitted by data protection laws.
We refer you to our Privacy Policy, please read it carefully for full details.
We endeavour to strictly keep the privacy of ALL information of a personal nature given to us by you by strict adherence to general International Data Privacy conventions and more specifically the Data Protection Laws and Regulations of the UK, the EU and ALL respective source market countries that have enacted and implemented these important Information Privacy Laws.
Good examples of this are the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (which is otherwise known as GDPR) and a new UK Data Protection Act that came into effect from 25 May 2018 onwards to protect EU and UK residents and their personal data.
Bantu Safari is a data controller of your personal data. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, which is appropriate to the harm that might result.
Your personal data will be retained by us for the period referred to in our Privacy Policy.("https://www.bantusafari.com/footer-2/privacy-policy/")
You may ask us what personal data of yours is being held or processed, for what purpose and to whom it may be or has been disclosed. You may also withdraw your consent to receiving marketing material or other communications from us at any time by unsubscribing to our e-mails or otherwise contacting us.
Please also let us know if you believe the personal data, we are holding is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. You may contact us by
Email: info@bantusafari.com
Phone: +267 71 418 423
Data Controller: Bantu Safari, info@bantusafari.com, +267 71 418 423.

We will investigate and respond to you as soon as we reasonably can. If you remain dissatisfied, you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. For further details, see www.ico.org.uk("https://ico.org.uk/").
The Law – The above booking terms and conditions together with all correspondence form part of your contract with us. Because we are operating from the United Kingdom, this contract and any matters arising from it shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any and all proceedings between us either relating to our contract or arising out of it.
Waiver of Claim – If you have been referred to us by another part (for example a travel agent) you agree to hold them blameless and waive any and all claims against such party. Any issues you may have must be directed to us and dealt with under the terms of our contract.
If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant organiser (camp/hotel manager/Safari/Transfer/Activities provider) immediately and our local representative (or if none, Bantu Safari), who will endeavour to put things right. It is unreasonable and in breach of your contractual obligations to us to take no action whilst on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint upon return.
If your problem cannot be resolved locally you must send full details to us in writing on email within 28 days of your return to your country of residence. If you fail to follow this procedure, we will not accept liability as we have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem.
Please provide your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services as well as to our representative without delay and complete a report form while on holiday.
If you fail to follow this simple procedure, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were on holiday and we will not accept liability.
Our Terms & Conditions are updated from time to time. The terms & conditions which will apply to your holiday are those on our website at the time of booking. There may be additional terms & conditions which apply to our special offers, promotions and discounts from time to time. These will be notified to you at the time of booking should you inform us that you would like to take advantage of them.
A copy of our latest terms & conditions can be viewed on our website www.bantusafari.com where you can print off a copy for your records. By proceeding with any booking, you confirm you have read and agreed to our Terms & Conditions.
Cancellation fees, amendments, and what to do if your plans change.
We understand that travel plans can change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair to both our clients and our supplier partners, who often hold reservations on your behalf from the moment of booking.
The following cancellation fees apply from the date we receive written notification of cancellation:
Loss of deposit only (typically 25% of total tour cost).
50% of total tour cost.
75% of total tour cost.
100% of total tour cost. No refund is available.
All cancellations must be made in writing to info@bantusafari.com. Cancellations are effective from the date we acknowledge receipt of your written request. Verbal cancellations cannot be accepted.
If you wish to amend your booking — including changing travel dates, destinations, or passenger details — we will do our best to accommodate your request. An amendment fee may apply depending on the nature of the change and the notice provided. Please contact us as early as possible to discuss your options.
In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your trip (for example, due to force majeure, natural disaster, or minimum group numbers not being met), we will notify you as soon as possible and offer either a full refund or an alternative itinerary of equivalent value. We regret we cannot be held liable for any indirect losses such as flights, visas, or travel insurance costs in such circumstances.
We strongly recommend that all travellers take out comprehensive travel insurance that includes cancellation cover before or immediately upon booking. Your insurance should cover you for the full cost of your trip in the event of a cancellation for covered reasons.
Bantu Safari cannot be held responsible for cancellations or alterations caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of war or terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics, civil unrest, government travel restrictions, or extreme weather events. In such cases we will work with you to reschedule or find a suitable alternative where possible.
If you have any questions about our cancellation policy, please contact us at info@bantusafari.com or call us on +267 71 418 423. We are always happy to discuss your situation and explore the best possible outcome.
We'll get back to you within 24 hours with availability & rates.
