Safari Payment Structure: Down Payment, Final Payment, and Flexibility
Our payment structure is designed to provide clarity and ease of understanding, ensuring you have a solid financial framework for your safari adventure. Here’s a breakdown of the payment process:
1. Down Payment: To secure your trip, a down payment is required. This initial payment is primarily allocated towards the purchase
of your Gorilla, Chimpanzee, or Golden Monkey Trekking permits, which are in high demand and non-refundable. By securing these permits first, you confirm your safari plans. Additionally, the down payment enables us to finalize your lodge and hotel reservations, ensuring that your preferred accommodations are secured well in advance, particularly during peak season.
2. Final Payment: The remaining balance for your safari is due 30 days before the start date of your adventure. This timeline provides you with sufficient opportunity to prepare and finalize your trip details. Our team will send a reminder along with a final invoice when the due date approaches.
3. Optional Partial Payments: We recognize that some clients may prefer more flexibility with their finances. Therefore, we offer the option of making partial payments following the initial down payment. You can choose the amounts and timing of these payments based on your personal preferences. This flexible booking policy is designed to give clients peace of mind and greater control over their financial commitments, particularly in today’s uncertain global environment. Our aim is to facilitate a comfortable and stress-free safari planning experience.
Secure Payment Methods: Bank Wire Transfer
When considering payment options for your safari, one of the most traditional and secure methods is a bank-to-bank wire transfer. We utilize our account with ABSA Bank, a reputable and established financial institution, which ensures a high level of security for transactions. This method also provides a clear paper trail for your financial records.
It’s important to note that a bank wire transfer typically takes about five business days to be credited to our account in Uganda. Therefore, we recommend initiating the transfer well in advance of your payment deadline to allow sufficient time for processing.
Before proceeding with a bank wire transfer, it is advisable to check with your bank regarding any potential fees associated with international wire transfers, as these can vary widely. Some clients have discovered more cost-effective alternatives, such as online money transfer services like TransferWise (now known as Wise), which can offer a more affordable and efficient way to send money internationally.
Our team is available to provide you with all the necessary bank details to ensure your transfer is conducted smoothly and accurately. We are committed to transparency in all our transactions, which includes keeping you informed about any possible costs from your bank.
Secure Payment Methods: Credit or Debit Card using PesaPal
For those who prefer the convenience of using a credit or debit card for transactions, we utilize PesaPal, which is recognized as East Africa’s trusted alternative to PayPal. Since PayPal does not offer merchant services in East Africa, PesaPal has emerged as the go-to solution for secure online payments in the region.
The payment process with PesaPal is straightforward and designed to ensure safety. When you are ready to make a payment, we will provide you with a secure PesaPal invoice link. By clicking on this link, you can complete your payment online through PesaPal’s secure platform.
One of the primary advantages of using this method is that we do not receive any credit card information. PesaPal manages all sensitive data on its secure site, and we are notified only once the payment has been successfully processed. Additionally, you will receive an immediate notification confirming that your payment has been completed.
It is important to note that PesaPal charges a handling fee of 3.5% of the total transaction amount. While this represents a minor additional cost, it is significantly lower than the typical 5% or more charged for direct credit card transactions in Uganda. Overall, this payment method provides convenience and peace of mind for our clients.
