1. GENERAL NOTES

GRAND EDITION TOURS accepts payment by credit card, bank draft, or cash. All costs and prices indicated are for land services and do not include international airfare. Land costs are based on double occupancy and are priced per person.

Single supplements apply to anyone wishing to have their own room, but a single room cannot be guaranteed. All prices are subject to change at any time due to currency fluctuations or other circumstances beyond GRAND EDITION TOUR’S control. Most safaris operate with a minimum of two participants. When a safari requires four or more to guarantee departure, we have attempted to indicate this. Please check with us for minimums and availability.

Safaris are booked and confirmed only on receipt of a 35% deposit of the basic program rate and the acknowledgement of the same. When GET receives the deposit, a booking packet and invoice will be mailed to you. The balance of payment is due no later than sixty days prior to the commencement of your trip. If the balance has not been received by that date, GET shall be entitled, at its discretion, to treat your reservation as cancelled, and consequently, you shall forfeit such part of the deposit as determined (below see cancellation and refunds regarding 31-60 days cancellation charges).

2. LATE BOOKING CHARGE

Any reservation made within 60 days of the commencement of a safari may be accepted provided space is available, payment in full has been received, and provided documents can be delivered prior to departure. There is a rush charge of $100 per booking under these circumstances. GET will provide travel documents three weeks prior to scheduled departure on bookings made not later than sixty days prior to scheduled departure. For late bookings, however, documents shall be provided within a reasonable time frame.3.3

No refunds are given for lost travel time or substitution of facilities, for itineraries amended after departure, or for circumstances arising beyond GET’s control. If you do not appear for any accommodation, service, sightseeing, or trip segment, or if you leave your program after it has begun, miss scheduled sightseeing activities, meals, or accommodations, there will be no refund. GET reserves the right to cancel any departure, itinerary, or any part of it, to make such alterations in the itinerary as it deems necessary, to refuse to accept or retain as a member of any program any person at any time, and to pass on to program members any expenditure occasioned by delays or events beyond its control.
