LIABILITY

Blessing Safaris Limited promises to ensure that all parts of the holiday agreed within the contract are provided at a high standard in accordance with the contract.

  • Some trips take place in places where we have little control over the quality of internal accommodation arrangements, which may vary in quality and the degree of comfort provided and may also differ from their description given by us in good faith in our brochures, leaflets, and website.
  • Most places we operate are very remote in case of flight, local Airlines do not meet International air safety standards and therefore there is a higher level of risk when compared to international flights. If you would like to know which local airlines we use then please contact us for further information.
  • It may be necessary for reasons beyond our control to amend advertised arrangements before leaving your country and once the trip begins. Some tours involve working with other accommodation vendors which are limited depending on the destinations that are making great efforts to improve their facilities for their visitors. But despite this, even with detailed planning, a degree of patience and flexibility is required to deal with the unexpected. The itineraries given for each trip must therefore be seen as an indication of intent and not as a contractual obligation on our part. No refunds will be given if changes for such reasons occur. These booking conditions are also subject to change.
  • It is understood that if you decide voluntarily to leave an expedition, Blessing Safaris Limited has no responsibility for your safety or well-being or any consequential expenses.
  • Please understand that there are certain hazards involved when traveling, which you must accept at your own risk.Snorkeling/Swimming, Diving, Trekking, Climbing, Kayaking, Rafting, Horse-riding, and Mountaineering are inherently dangerous activities. It is possible to be killed, injured, incapacitated, and experience pain, illness, and suffering. There is no way of predicting all of the hazards you will face. Whilst Blessing Safaris Limited and our partners will take reasonable precautions to minimize the risks, there is no way Blessing Safaris Limited or our partners can guarantee your safety on an expedition 100%. For all our river or sea trips, clients have to be able to swim. These activities are at your own risk.
  • Often areas of our expeditions are remote with little or no medical support. Therefore, delays to get medical assistance are to be expected and can go up to more than 24 hours. In some remote areas, self-rescue is the only option. Your guide may need to begin first aid appropriate to the remoteness of the area and the nature of your ailments.
  • Whilst we and our partners will take all reasonable precautions to maintain your safety, you are also responsible for yourself and must act responsibly and safely that will not endanger yourself or others in your party.
  • We operate in areas where there are dangers to life from wild animals such as crocodiles, tigers, lions, snakes, and elephants. You agree to act responsibly and if in any doubt take the guidance of your guide or group leader.
  • By completing your booking form you certify that you have read and understood these risks and that they are acceptable to you. Blessing Safaris Limited or our partners will not accept your participation on an expedition if you do not have suitable or sufficient travel insurance to cover such events as illness, remote area evacuation, etc.

Blessing Safaris Limited will use its best endeavors to mitigate short-term currency risks through hedging and protect you from the first 5% of any adverse movement. Beyond that level, we reserve the right to pass on the difference in cost. If you wish to mitigate the risk completely then contact Blessing Safaris Limited regarding a solution.
