Step-by-Step Booking Process

Booking your dream safari is simple and hassle-free with Gamewatchers Safari.

  1. Send an Enquiry – Fill out our Online Enquiry Form with your preferred travel dates and chosen itinerary.
  2. Get Expert Assistance – Have questions? Our friendly and knowledgeable safari specialists are just a call or email away!
  3. Receive Confirmation – We’ll promptly confirm availability and pricing, so you can give us the go ahead to secure your booking.

  4. Secure Your Booking – Once you’re ready, we’ll finalize your booking and ask you to complete a Booking Confirmation Form. You’ll receive a confirmation invoice by email with all the details of your booking and how to make payment.

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.

Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!
