Top Things to Know Before Booking with Thrifty Adventures

Before confirming your trip, please take a moment to go through these key points to ensure a smooth and informed booking process:

1. Read the Brochure First

Please read the tour brochure carefully before making any payments. It contains essential details about what’s included and what’s not.

2. Travel Insurance is Essential

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances, including cancellations from your side or by third-party providers.

3. Visas, Passports & Entry Requirements

All travel documents (visas, passports, vaccinations, COVID certificates, etc.) are the responsibility of the traveler. We offer advice, but clients must handle acquisition and costs personally.

4. Deposit is Non-Refundable

All deposits are non-refundable. Minimum deposits:

  • R3,000 for flight packages
  • R2,000 for road packages

Installment payments are welcome.

5. Flights & Air Tickets

You will receive an email requesting your approval before we book your flight. Once confirmed, air tickets are non-refundable.

6. Recommended Spending Money

Bring extra spending money for meals, optional activities, or personal expenses.

Recommended minimum: R3,000+ depending on the destination.

7. Room Sharing

All prices are per person sharing. Single occupancy will attract an additional cost.

8. Itinerary & Inclusions

Some meals or activities listed in the itinerary are for guidance only and may not be included in the package. Always check the “Package Includes” section to see what’s covered.

9. Possible Changes to Your Package

We reserve the right to make changes to the package, including:

  • Dates of travel
  • Accommodation or airline
  • Tour price (due to exchange rates, airline fees, or supplier failure)

We commit to communicating any changes at least 48 hours in advance of implementation.

10. Booking & Payment Methods

You can book your tour directly on our website, or reach out to us via WhatsApp or email.

Payments can be made securely through our online payment gateway or via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer).

11. Discount Requests

Discounts such as birthday or returning-client offers must be requested at the time of quoting or invoicing. Once the invoice is paid and cleared, no discounts will be applied or refunded — they are considered forfeited.
