FULL CONFIRMATION & PAYMENT:

A 50% deposit of the total value of the booking confirms your booking. The full balance is payable 30 days prior to arrival.

No refund will be given for guests who join a tour and leave before its completion.

The cancellation policy is binding between Mara West and the party responsible –

determined by the party in communication with Mara West - for the reservation, whether

agent or client. While we reserve the right to waive the cancellation policy in certain

circumstances it is the responsibility of the client to purchase travel insurance – see

insurance section below – and for the agent to advise the client of this.

The cancellation policy applies to all voluntary changes and errors in booking by

the agent and/or client. The cancellation policy also applies to events beyond our

control, including war, terrorism, civil disobedience, government action, natural

disasters, weather, technical problems, operational issues with other parties, and

closures of other parties.

The cancellation policy will NOT be binding in the case of any changes and/or

errors by Mara West.

In the case of a government travel ban by the client’s government the cancellation

will be waived IF the government travel ban completely prohibits the client’s

travel to Mara West. Government warnings or regional bans to areas other the

Mara West area will not be grounds for waiving the cancellation policy. The

client must accept all reasonable attempts by both the agent and Mara West to

safely (as seen by Mara West management) reroute the client in order to bypass

areas within the government warning or ban. The client’s refusal to accept

changes to an itinerary in response to government travel advisories will be seen

as voluntary changes and the cancellation policy will be applied.

CHANGES POLICY:

Any change to a booking must be in writing and must be confirmed in order to be valid. Any

reduction in client number will be seen as a cancellation on the part of those clients and the

cancellation policy will be applied to them. Any changes to a booking are subject to

availability. Mara West cannot be held responsible for not being able to accommodate a requested

change and in such situations, the agent/client will either have to keep the original booking, accept a

change that Mara West can accommodate, or cancel the original booking and be subject to the

cancellation policy.
