Payment of deposit and/or payment in full certify that you understand and agree to all Terms and

Conditions.

These terms apply to independent tours. Group tours have separate deposit and cancellation terms,

which are tour-specific. All payments, deposits, and cancellation amounts listed are per person. To

confirm a reservation the following deposit and final payment terms must be strictly adhered to

and are required at the time of reservation.

Tour Deposit & Final Payment

Deposit Due Per Person is $500 or 25% of tour cost, whichever is greater. We reserve the right to

request additional deposits as required by hotels and suppliers for peak periods such (but not

limited to) Christmas, New Year, Easter, and other holidays. Final Payments are due 45 days

before Tour begins. For reservations received within 45 days of commencement of services, the

entire amount is to be submitted at the time of confirmation. Reservations received within 45 days

of the start of the tour may be subject to a non-refundable rush-booking fee of no less than $125

per person to cover additional expenses incurred to expedite booking.

Cancellation Terms

Continent Tours’ cancellation policy is applied as follows:

 Cancellations made 45 days or more prior to the start of the tour will be charged a

cancellation fee of 15% of tour cost with a minimum payment of $ 400 per traveler.

 Cancellations made 44 to 30 days prior to the start of the tour will be charged a cancellation

fee of 20% of the tour cost with a minimum payment of $475 per traveler.

 Cancellations made 29 to 17 days prior to the tour start date will be charged a cancellation

fee of 25% of the tour cost with a minimum payment of $ 700 per traveler.

 Cancellations made 16 days or less prior to the tour start date will be charged a cancellation

fee of 100% of tour cost, No Refund.

 Trip Cancellation Insurance Is Recommended

Domestic flight tickets are non-refundable when alternate (land) arrangements are made.

No-shows, late arrivals, voluntary changes, or cancellations by travelers of tour days or services

during a tour are non-refundable. Cancellation insurance is recommended.

Prior to the start of the tour, Continent Tours reserves the right to cancel a tour and will provide a

full refund of all payments. Continent Tours has never canceled a tour but would do so at its sole 

discretion should travelers’ safety be of concern. Continent Tours is not responsible for expenses

incurred by travelers in preparing for a trip that is eventually canceled.

Once travelers are at the destination in Africa, Continent Tours will provide comparable alternate

tour arrangements, if the cancellation of a particular tour is deemed necessary. Should travelers

elect not to accept these alternate arrangements, this will constitute voluntary refusal of services,

and no refunds will be given. Pro-rata refunds will be made if alternate arrangements are not

comparable to the original tour services. Please note: Domestic flights may be replaced by ground

transportation if the domestic flight schedule renders flights impossible within the constraints of a

tour and/or the tour dates; in this case, the missed flights are non-refundable as the ticket price will

be used to make alternate land arrangements.

Insurance

Travel insurance while not mandatory is highly recommended and is not included in the tour price.

Tour Prices

Continent Tours prices are stated in U.S. Dollars (USD) and are subject to change until a tour

deposit is received.

Prices do not include international travel to/from Africa, passport fees, entry visa fees, excess

baggage charges, airport taxes, immunizations or other medical fees, non-specified meals,

beyond Continent Tours’ control. Continent Tours will make every effort to provide alternate and

rejoining the tour will be theirs.

failure to disclose in advance any physical or other restrictions, or the need for special

accommodations, will make it impossible to meet those needs. When informed, Continent Tours

will make every effort to accommodate travelers and will inform travelers of local conditions they

will likely encounter.

For their own safety as well as for the smooth operation of their tour, travelers are expected to

follow their Tour Leader/Guide’s requests and instructions; any problems encountered during the
