Payment questions
How much deposit do I need to pay?
A deposit secures your booking, and the amount depends on the trip and on what our suppliers require. It is shown on your quote and confirmation. The balance is then due before departure by the date stated on your booking. Some services, such as flights or peak-season rooms, may need to be paid in full straight away.
What is Lipa Polepole?
Lipa Polepole means 'pay slowly'. It lets you secure a trip with a deposit and then pay the balance in flexible instalments that suit your income, as long as the full amount is paid before you travel. It's a practical way to plan a holiday months ahead. We'll agree your payment dates in writing when you book.
How can I pay?
You can pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card. The payment details are shown on your invoice. Before sending money, confirm the details with us by phone on +254 755 721 184, and keep your M-Pesa message or bank slip. We'll send a receipt for every payment, including each Lipa Polepole instalment.
Why are prices different for residents and non-residents?
Kenya's national parks, reserves and many hotels charge different rates for Kenyan citizens, East African and Kenyan residents, and international visitors. Park entry fees make up a large part of a safari's cost, so the difference shows clearly in the package price. To get citizen or resident rates, carry your national ID, passport or alien card, as gates and hotels check it.
What does 'all inclusive' mean on a safari?
On our safaris it usually means transport, accommodation, meals, park entry fees, game drives, a driver-guide and drinking water, as listed on each package. It doesn't normally cover drinks from the bar, tips, optional activities such as balloon safaris or village visits, or travel insurance. Always check the inclusions and exclusions on the package page and your quote.
