If this alternative holiday option costs less than your original booking, we will refund the difference.

 Should you not wish to book an alternative or one is not available a full refund will be paid with the exception of insurance premiums/amendment charges. Please note that we will not be liable to refund you for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking, such as visas, vaccinations, non-refundable connecting flights, etc.

• If you cancel your placement between 59 – 31 days before your holiday start date, we will return 50% of the total holiday cost minus any bank fees.
• If you cancel your placement between 30 days and your holiday start date, the cancellation charge is 100% of total holiday. Please check when you arrange travel insurance that a cancellation clause is part of the policy.

In the event of this occurring, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2 % of the holiday price excluding amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of 2% will be surcharged. Such events will include circumstances such as increases in transportation costs including fuel, taxes, (e.g. VAT) or other fees payable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports or airports.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations: Invoices are written for the client based on the current exchange rate. Please note that invoices and quotes may be subject to change due to fluctuating exchange rates, should at the time the remaining payment is due, 60 days prior to travel, the exchange rate has fluctuated the final payment by more than 2% – Wild Adventure Fitness Retreats may re-invoice you with a quote that reflects current exchange rates. Please note this would have been discussed with you upon booking if it was relevant to your booking, if it was not discussed with you, then it is not applicable. All itineraries clearly state what is included and excluded in every package. In signing the booking form, you agree to the itinerary and the price.

k) Your booking is accepted on the understanding that you realize the potential hazards that may arise in this kind of travel, including injury, disease, loss or damage of property, inconvenience or discomfort. This type of travel is one that should allow for alternatives and a substantial degree of flexibility as the services provided on an adventure holiday or safari are different to many other holiday services. The outline itineraries given for each placement must therefore be taken as an indication of what each participant should accomplish, and not as a contractual obligation on the part of Wild Adventure Fitness Retreats. Changes in itinerary may be caused by circumstances beyond our control such as; the potentially unpredictability of nature, game, ground, adverse weather and other local conditions.

You accept that descriptions and details of the retreat provided to you on our website are an indication of what is planned but are not contractually binding and may alter. Flexibility is always required. Any alteration made due to the above reasons will be made in the interests of the group / participants as a whole – no refunds will be made in regards to such alterations.

You are also aware that the infrastructure and standards relating to travel, accommodation and safety in Africa may be lower than in the UK/Europe. Wild Adventure Fitness Retreats and our operators will do our best to make sure arrangements, including travel services, transport and connections run smoothly but this may not always be possible due to flight cancellation, weather, mechanical breakdown or other unforeseen circumstances and there will be no refund or compensation for any unused services. We are also unable to make special arrangements for you in the event of delays or cancellations at your outward or homeward point of departure or on your outward or homeward journey (or, where you are making your own travel arrangements, in the event of delays or changes to any of those arrangements) or to refund or compensate you in the event of any such delays.
