Key Booking Details
Currency – prices in US$
Our prices are shown in US$ and our invoices are in US$ to overseas residents or in Kenya Shillings to Kenya residents. For overseas customers resident outside of Kenya payments are made at the prices shown on our invoice in US$ to our US $ bank account in Nairobi or by credit card in US$.
Payment of deposit and balance
Payment terms: 25% deposit per person at the time of booking a safari. The remaining balance is due 60 days prior to commencement of arrangements. Payments (deposit & final balance) may be made by direct bank transfer to our Nairobi bank account or by credit card. Payment details will be included with our confirmation invoice.
Payment by credit / debit cards
We accept payment by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) through our secure online payment system or PayPal.
Once your booking is confirmed and your sales consultant has emailed you the invoice, if you wish to pay by credit card, you will then receive an email from Gamewatchers Safaris with a link that directs you to our secure online payment system, where you can enter your details and process your payment. No transaction fee is added by us for payment of the deposit by debit or credit card or if the full amount is paid at once. However your credit card company may add their own handling fee for processing a payment outside your home country. If the final balance is paid by credit card then a transaction fee of 3% is added to the amount of the balance to cover the credit card processing charges. Payment can also be made by debit card in the same way as credit cards but the banks in Kenya apply the same transaction fee for debit cards as for credit cards, so a fee of 3% is also added for payment of the final balance by debit card.
Your Financial Security when booking a safari in Kenya with Gamewatchers Safaris
Gamewatchers Safaris is a member of the Kenya Association of Tour Operators bonding scheme, backed by a leading insurance company, to ensure your payments are fully protected if a bonded KATO member ceases trading.
If you are resident in the United Kingdom and pay for overseas travel arrangements using a credit card, under British law the Consumer Credit Act 1974 gives you full protection in the event that an overseas tour operator goes into receivership. If you paid for the services (even part of them) using a credit card, then you’re entitled to a full refund from your credit card company in the United Kingdom. The law covers goods worth between £100 and £30,000 but you’re completely covered even if you paid as little as £1 deposit with your credit card and the remainder some other way. Please note that this protection applies only to credit cards, such as Visa and Mastercard, and not to debit cards, such as Maestro and Delta.

Posted on Sayak Ghosh17 January 2026Verified A well curated vacation into Kenya Gamewatchers are to be commended for their professionalism and attention to details. I travelled with my mother to Kenya, it was the first trip to Africa for the both of us, and Gamewatchers took very good care of us. The local point of contact in India, Mr. Chandra, was wonderful and helped us throughout. No request was turned down. The whole trip was curated as per our liking. I would definitely recommend Gamewatchers.Posted on Eric A16 January 2026Verified Always fantastic...third time customer not finished yet. I have used Gamewatchers for my Kenyan safaris three times now and can not see any reason to use anyone else. My experience with them has always been excellent. The experience of staying in tented camps really allows one to become emersed in the land and wildlife of Kenya. Always a special time when I'm in the Porini Camps of Gamewatchers.Posted on Christine M12 January 2026Verified Amazing safari We had an exceptional holiday. Seen huge amounts of animals, with very knowledgible guides answering all our questions. Staff were wonderful, meals great. Loved every minute. Want to go againPosted on nicolelK9025UD11 January 2026Verified Best Safari Experience Planning this trip was very easy with the help of my advisor, Rachel. She was the best. Super friendly, always quick to answer all of my questions and concerns. I really wanted an eco-friendly camp, who gives back to the local community and limits the number of tours and people that have access to the area. This delivered in all areas. Camps were beautiful, staff were amazing, safaris were incredible. We loved every minute. I've thought of nothing else since my return. I miss it every day and can't wait until I return.Posted on Sherry H11 January 2026Verified Highly Recommended! I would definitely go with Gamewatchers again on my next trip to Africa! Everyone did a great job and we're very kind to us.Posted on Luis11 January 2026Verified Excellent We live in Kenya and have experienced many safaris over the years, and Porini Cheetah Camp remains among the very best. We are repeat guests.What sets it apart is the privacy, the warm, personal welcome from the hosts, and the exceptional quality of the game drives. The conservancy setting allows for uncrowded, respectful wildlife viewing, and the lodge is particularly ideal for lion sightings.Posted on Curious2689802063611 January 2026Verified Perfect African safari adventure A perfect combination of luxury tented camps, experienced and friendly staff and guides, extraordinary animal sightings. All in the most beautiful and dramatic settings. A truly amazing African safari experience.Posted on Doria R4 January 2026Verified Great Solo experience Amazing all amazing seen many animals and i love the tented accommodations. The food was also very good they give you so much food lol. I loved rhino and mara camp the most. Giraffe did not see the animals I wanted to maybe was just off time but the rhino camp and mara amazing the mangers at all the camps treated me very well im going back to other camps next nov and i can't wait to see Craig the super tusker ;-) he's 54 so i need see him my fav are the Elephants so amboseli is known for that. I love porini camps great food and g n ts at sundown was all nice.Posted on Ak J4 December 2025Verified Top drawer service and personalised safari. We had the pleasure of using game watchers to book our safari at Porini Cheetah Camp which was exceptional. However what was also exceptional was the service we received from Wayne in the gamewatchers team. Thorough, quick and responsive to our needs and sorted everything from the room, flights and transfers seamlessly.I would highly recommend using game watchers to anyone that wants eco friendly, ethical and personalised safaris.Posted on Robert S25 November 2025Verified Great Experience Wayne Hammond and the Gamewatchers team organized and delivered a wonderful safari for our family. Wayne was responsive and gave great advice leading up to the trip and the team on the ground was first rate. It is hard to find the right company to narrow in on the right price and pacing -- they did it very well. Rob
