GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS


Dear prospective Guest

These general terms & conditions apply to all safaris, independent travel tours & transactions undertaken directly with Southern Skies - Personal Safari Hosts, or indirectly through Destination Namibia. We tried to keep it as simple as possible, yet still cover all the aspects of your negotiations with us. All our safaris are professionally planned and executed with the utmost care - with your safety, comfort and personal preferences in mind. All those who have gone before, will vouch for the excellent value for money received from Southern Skies.

Direct booking with us, using the Internet, guarantees four distinct advantages:

  •     Quick & effective personal response to your enquiry - normally within 24 hours

  •     The entire communication/negotiation process takes place via Internet & e-mail

  •     You deal and communicate with ONE person, who will arrange your entire tour

  •     Payments are hassle-free and easily executed via electronic money transfers
        (With retrievable records available to both sender and receiver).

We strictly adhere to the rules and regulations as set out by the Hospitality Association of Namibia. However, we do NOT require or discuss payment in any form until such time as negotiations are complete and you, the guest, are 100% satisfied with the suggested itinerary and quotation of your requested safari. Only after a written Itinerary Control Check List had been accepted and signed by you, do the rules and regulations of HAN apply.

This signed Itinerary Control Check List will authorize Southern Skies to start the reservation process at all the accommodation venues included in the accepted itinerary. You will be kept informed of the progress on a continuous basis until all written confirmations have been received from the lodging establishments. 30 (Thirty) days prior to the departure of your self drive tour, 100% of the quoted and accepted tour price must be paid to Southern Skies, in order to secure your confirmed bookings. (The HAN Law & Regulation protects the accommodation establishments by allowing them to automatically cancel any confirmed booking for which the 100% payment was not received on the due date, and allocate it to another applicant).

ONE EXCEPTION!!    Where venues of the Namibia Wildlife Resorts (Para-Statal) are
                                   included in an itinerary, this portion of the accommodation costs must
be transferred together with the signed Itinerary Control Check List. The reason being that
these venues are somehow not bound by the HAN regulations, and they require FULL PAYMENT
within 48 hours after reservation & confirmation of a booking. Where such venues are included in
an itinerary, it will be pertinently stated on the relevant Itinerary Control Check List, clearly
indicating the amount involved for each individual itinerary.

We now invite you to come and share a few days of glorious sunshine with us, here in Namibia.

Your friendly Southern Skies team
