2.1 Searching

You can search for Safari Services by using criteria like the travel destination, accommodation type, travel dates, and number of guests. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity, previous trips and saved Listings, Tour Operator requirements (e.g. minimum age requirement), and more.

2.2 Booking your vacation

2.2.1 Payments & Invoicing

Our aim is to provide exactly the right travel arrangements to suit your requirements.

When you book a safari service, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Safari service price, applicable fees, CloudSafaris’ service fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that CloudSafaris may charge the Payment Method (as defined in the Payment Terms) used to book the Safari Service in order to collect Damage Claim (as defined in Section 17) amounts.

When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Tour Operator Services (a "Reservation") is formed directly between you, the Accommodation(s), Transportation Partners, and the Tour Operator. In addition to these Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout that apply to the Reservation.

The deposit required to book your trip is shown on your quotation. The deposit will be 30% of the total trip price, excepting air travel and any permits which need to be paid for in full at time of booking as tickets will be issued immediately and are non-refundable (‘the Deposit’). Occasionally an additional deposit may be requested in order to secure a booking e.g., for peak departure periods (“The Additional Deposit”). The purpose of the Deposit, other than payment to Third Party Suppliers, is to cover costs, disbursements and service fee incurred by CloudSafaris and in the event of any cancellation as provided for herein the Deposit and any Additional Deposit will be forfeited by the Client.

You must make all payments in full and on time. Failure to make a payment may result in the cancellation of your travel and the forfeiture of your Deposit and any Additional Deposit. In such a case this would be considered a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms and fees as described below would be in effect. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. In such case, a full refund would be provided, and we would have no further liability to you.

Your final balance will be due in full three calendar months prior to departure. Trips booked within three months of travel require full payment at the time of booking.

Payments can be made by bank transfer or by credit or debit card. While we do accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and American Express, travelers must provide to us a click or signed authorization for every transaction for your trip. Your authorization is an agreement for us to charge your card and an acknowledgement and agreement to the Company Terms and Conditions and the Supplier Terms and Conditions including the cancellation terms. It is your responsibility to read and understand these rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a Listing. Be aware that some Tour Operators work with a Co-Tour Operators (other Operators) or as part of a team to provide their Tour Operator Services.

It is important for you to check the details on the Confirmation Invoice as soon as you get it. In the event of any discrepancy please contact us immediately at [email protected]. CloudSafaris will be responsible for making payments to Third Party Suppliers on confirmed bookings by you on your behalf and remitting the booking fee element to the Company.

2.2.2 Accommodation Reservations

An Accommodation Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Accommodation. The Accommodation staff retain the right to re-enter the Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Accommodation, and (iii) consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Accommodation has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests. Accommodation Reservations also extend to the hotels, lodges, camps, tented lodges and other housing.

2.2.3 Reservations for Experiences and Other Tour Operator Services

You are responsible for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. You are responsible for informing the Tour Operator of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend, or use the Tour Operator Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to join a Tour Operator Service unless they are included as an additional guest during the booking process.

2.2.4 Booking Modifications & Amendments.

The Company will make every effort to assist you if you wish to alter your arrangements. Guests and Tour Operators are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the CloudSafaris Platform or direct CloudSafaris customer service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"). If it is possible to make the amendment, it will be subject to any fees charged by our suppliers, together with all communication charges or other expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the change.

2.3 Cancellations

2.3.1 Travel Issues, and Refunds

In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy (as determined by CloudSafaris and the Tour Operator) that applies to that Reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If the Tour Operator cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue (as defined in our Guest Refund Policy), you may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund pending the circumstance as evaluated by CloudSafaris

All cancellations are subject to the Supplier Terms and Conditions of the Third Party Suppliers. Some Third Party Suppliers may choose to offer future travel credits in lieu of a cash refund. We CloudSafaris are not liable for a Third Party Supplier’s failure to provide a refund or for Third Party Supplier insolvency or bankruptcy.

3. Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk.

You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Accommodation, Experience, Transportation, or other Tour Operator Service. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an Accommodation (and related personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable Damage Claim amounts necessary to cover damage that you, your guest(s), or your pet(s) cause to an Accommodation, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Accommodation, Tour Operator, or Transportation Partner, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.

3.1 Your Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the CloudSafaris Platform and any Content (as defined in Section 11), including your stay at any Accommodation, participation in any Experience, use of any other Tour Operator Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate a Tour Operator Service (Operator), Accommodation and Transportation Companies to determine whether it is suitable for you. For example, Tour Operator Services may carry a risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Tour Operator Services.

4. Passports and Visa

It is your responsibility to ensure that all necessary travel documentation, permits and/or visa regulations are met for any countries you intend to visit or transit through. The Company can provide advice and guidance on these areas but ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure any regulations are met. You will need a full 10-year passport to travel which is valid for six months after the date of your return. Some destinations also require visas, and you should contact the Embassy or Consulate of the country which you are planning to visit in good time before you travel. All children should travel on full passports. Your passport must have sufficient blank visa pages available in accordance with the requirements of the countries you intend to visit. If there is insufficient space in the passport entry will be denied and the person is likely to be detained pending return to their country of origin.

Please ensure that all passports are renewed timeously. The client must ensure that the details are supplied to CloudSafaris mirror those details shown on their passport for international travel and ID documents for local travel. As a guideline, passports should be valid for 6 (six) months after your scheduled departure from the countries you are visiting, please note that a visa does not guarantee entry to any given country at point of entry and boarding of an aircraft may be denied at any point even if you have a valid visa. Furthermore, caution should be taken when your countries of transit or final destination issue a visa on arrival.

5. Health and Safety

You must ensure you meet the immunization, inoculation and medication regulations of any country you visit and it is suggested that you liaise with the relevant consulates and embassies for up-to-date information in good time before your departure and, if particular health issues are prevalent in any country included in your itinerary, consult medical practitioners that are familiar with it. The Company can provide advice and guidance on these areas but ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure any regulations are met.

CloudSafaris cannot accept responsibility and no credit or refunds will be given if you fail to take up any component of your trip. No credit or refunds will be given for lost, mislaid, or destroyed travel documents. Most people go on vacation for rest and relaxation, so if in our reasonable opinion or that of any hotel manager, tour leader or other person in authority, your behavior is causing danger, damage to property or persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your vacation. Should this happen no refund or compensation would be paid. The Client indemnifies and holds harmless CloudSafaris against damages suffered and/or costs incurred by CloudSafaris and/or any third party as a result of a breach of this clause.

If you lose any personal items while on vacation, please obtain a written report from the police to help with any insurance claim upon your return. Travelers are aware that travel in such areas while on the trip may involve inherent risks, some in remote areas of the world. Inherent risks include, but are not limited to, risk of injury or death from: motor vehicles collisions, animals, roadway hazards, slips, and falls, criminal or terrorist acts, government actions, consumption of alcoholic beverages, tainted food, or non-potable water; exposure to the elements, including heat, cold, sun, water, and wind; your own negligence and/or the negligence of others, including tour guides, other travelers, CloudSafaris and its employees, agents and/or representatives; attack by or encounter with insects, reptiles, and/or animals; accidents or illness occurring in remote places where there are no available medical services; fatigue, chill, 17 overheating, and/or dizziness,; known or unknown medical conditions, physical excursion for which you are not prepared or other such accidents; the negligence or lack of adequate training of any third-party providers who seek to assist with medical or other help either before or after injuries have occurred; accident or illness without access to means of rapid evacuation or availability of medical supplies or services; and the adequacy of medical attention once provided.

You understand the description of these risks is not complete and that unknown or unanticipated risks may result in injury, illness, or death. In order to partake of the enjoyment and excitement of this trip, travelers are willing to accept the risks and uncertainty involved as being an integral part of travel, including the risk of infection, illness, and death. You, for yourself, and any minors traveling with you, and on behalf of your and their heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin (The Releasors), HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AND RELEASE the Company and Third Party Suppliers, their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, agents, and/or employees, suppliers, and other trip members (RELEASEES), from any claims associated with the trip including all liability in respect of loss (financial or otherwise, direct, indirect or economic), damage, accident, injury, death, harm or illness, trauma, delay or inconvenience to any Client, to or loss of or damage to their luggage, or other property, wherever, whenever and however the same may occur and whether or not arising from any act, omission, default, or negligence on the part of any of the Indemnified Parties whatsoever, unless such claim is for injury or death and due to a negligent act or omission of Company, including any form of transport to, form or during the tour.

6. Special Requests

Special Requests, such as diet, room location, twin- or double-bedded room, or a particular facility which are an important factor in the choice of trip, should be indicated on the Booking Form or made in writing. We will pass your request on to the hotel or other service provider but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. The Company will try to arrange for Special Requests to be met, but cannot guarantee that they will be, nor will the Company be liable if any Special Request is met. The provision of any Special Request does not constitute a term of your contract with us unless we have confirmed in writing that your requirement will be met.

7. Insurance

It is a condition of booking that you and all members of your party have comprehensive insurance and that it is adequate for your needs. Your policy of insurance should provide coverage for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, 18 curtailments, missed departure and legal expenses. Please note these are suggestions only and it does not constitute an exhaustive list. We also strongly recommend the purchase of additional cancel for any reason coverage, where available. Note that special insurance may be required if you intend to undertake any dangerous or sports activities.

Please keep your insurance details with you while on vacation. Some activities carry inherent risks and if you are participating in such activities, you may be asked to sign an additional form by the local supplier.The Company will not be responsible or liable if the Client fails to take adequate insurance cover or at all. It shall not be obligatory upon the Company to effect insurance for the Client. Should the insurers dispute their liability for any reason, the Client will have recourse against the insurers only. Once the insurance has been confirmed and paid for, the Client will be issued with a policy document of the insurer. It is a complex document, which must be read BEFORE YOU initiate your travel so that you can address any queries you may have to the insurer PRIOR to your departure.

8. Illness and Disability

If you or any member of your party suffers from a disability or other medical condition or is taking prescribed medication that may impact on the member’s participation in the trip and/or activities, please tell us before you book. The Company is happy to give you advice and to try to assist you in choosing a vacation that will meet your requirements. However, most of our vacations are in destinations which are off the beaten track and lack even the simplest facilities for disabled guests such as ramps for wheelchairs, lifts and so on. Many of our vacations require a fair degree of physical fitness. Medical facilities may not be readily available. In order to assist you we must be provided prior to booking with full written details regarding your medical condition and any special requirements which result from this. An appropriate medical form will be sent to you for this purpose. It is inadvisable for anyone with high blood pressure or respiratory problems to visit high altitudes. You should consult your doctor for advice before you book and in good time before your departure. We may request that you provide a letter from your doctor confirming your fitness to travel. Our Suppliers are, unfortunately, unable to offer additional assistance to travelers with limited mobility and all such assistance will need to be provided by the companion of the traveler. Travelers with disabilities must notify the Company at the time of booking of the status and identity of their non-discounted, paid travel companion who will be responsible for providing all necessary assistance. Should you travel while pregnant, please contact your doctor for a “fit to travel” letter, which is required by some service providers. Please advise the Company how far your pregnancy is when traveling, as some service providers have restrictions.

Third Party Terms

9. General Third Party Terms

9.1 Your Legal Obligations

You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Listing or Tour Operator Services. Some jurisdictions require Tour Operators to register, get a permit, or obtain a licence before providing certain Tour Operator Services (such as short-term rentals, longer-term stays, preparing food, serving alcohol for sale, guiding tours, or operating a vehicle). In some places, the Tour Operator Services you want to offer may be prohibited altogether. Some jurisdictions require that you register Guests who stay at your Accommodation. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy rights for Guests and additional obligations for Tour Operators. For example, some places have landlord-tenant, rent control, and eviction laws that may apply to longer stays. Check your local rules to learn what rules apply to the Tour Operator Services you plan to offer. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Guests and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms. If you have questions about how local laws apply, you should always seek legal advice.

9.2 Search Ranking

The ranking of Listings and Tour Operators in search results on the CloudSafaris Platform depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:

  • Guest search parameters (e.g. number of Guests, time and duration of the trip, price range, etc.)

  • Listing characteristics (e.g. price, calendar availability, number and quality of images, Reviews, type of Tour Operator Service, Tour Operator status, age of the Listing, average Guest popularity)

  • Guest booking experience (e.g. customer service and cancellation history of the Tour Operator, ease of booking)

  • Tour Operator requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights, booking cut-off time), and

  • Guest preferences (e.g. previous trips, saved Listings, location from where the Guest is searching).

Search results may appear different on our mobile application than they appear on our website. CloudSafaris may allow Tour Operators to promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the CloudSafaris Platform by paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current promotional programs (if any), and how we identify promoted Content can be found in our Help Centre.

If a Guest receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by CloudSafaris exceeds your payout, CloudSafaris may recover that amount from you, including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts. You agree that CloudSafaris' Guest Refund Policy, Extenuating Circumstances Policy, (as evaluated by CloudSafaris), and these Terms preempt the cancellation policy you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a Reservation and/or the issuance of refunds to Guests. If we reasonably expect to provide a refund to a Guest under one of these policies, we may delay release of any payout for that Reservation until a refund decision is made.

25.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process

CloudSafaris is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 23 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with CloudSafaris' customer service team (described in paragraph 23.3, below), and if necessary (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and CloudSafaris each retain the right to seek resolution of the dispute in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.

25.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification

At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and CloudSafaris each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send your notice of dispute to CloudSafaris by emailing it to CloudSafaris': [email protected]. CloudSafaris will send its notice of dispute to the email address associated with your CloudSafaris account. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).

25.4 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and CloudSafaris mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the CloudSafaris Platform, Tour Operator Services, or any Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and CloudSafaris agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

25.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement

You and CloudSafaris each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 22): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iv) any individual claim of sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from your use of the CloudSafaris Platform or Host Services. You and CloudSafaris agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

25.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law

This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the arbitrator in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.

If the amount in controversy is $5,000 or less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

25.8 Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.

25.9 Arbitrator’s Decision.

The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

25.10 Jury Trial Waiver.

You and CloudSafaris acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

25.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings.

You and CloudSafaris acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class-action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action, or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action, or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

25.12 Severability

Except as provided in Section 25.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect.

Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate

If CloudSafaris changes this Section 25 after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and CloudSafaris (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and CloudSafaris

25.13 Survival

Except as provided in Section 25.12 and subject to Section 15.5, this Section 25 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the CloudSafaris Platform or terminate your CloudSafaris account.
