The kenya mega birding tour

All booking requests must be submitted in writing to Village Weaver Birding . A 30% deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your tour and accommodation.

This deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.

An invoice will be issued once your reservation is confirmed. Full payment is required 90 days prior to the start date of your trip.

For bookings made within 90 days of the trip start date, full payment must be received within 72 hours of booking to secure reservations with lodges, camps, and other service providers.

Currently, payments are accepted only via wire transfer to our designated bank account.

Note: All payments must be made net of bank charges. Any additional costs or transfer fees imposed by your bank or payment service are the responsibility of the client.

We understand that travel plans can change, and we aim to make our cancellation process as transparent as possible. Any cancellation request must be submitted to Village weaver Birding in writing (email or letter). Refunds will be issued based on the timeline below, with applicable cancellation charges deducted from the total tour cost:

• 21 to 30 days before departure: A cancellation fee equal to your booking deposit (30% of the total package price) will apply.

• 12 to 20 days before departure: 85% of the total package price is non-refundable.

• 0 to 11 days before departure: 100% of the total package price is non-refundable.

Special Note on Accommodation, Activities, and Flights

Some bookings with hotels, activity providers, or airlines have strict deposit or payment policies. In these cases, we may be required to deduct any non-refundable amounts charged by these third parties. You may also be responsible for any additional charges applied by them that exceed your deposit.

No Refund for Unused Services

No refunds will be issued for any unused portion of the tour — including meals, accommodations, airport transfers, or activities — regardless of the reason.

Price Adjustments

Village Weaver Birding reserves the right to adjust tour prices in case of changes in operational costs, such as airfare increases, currency fluctuations, park fee changes, fuel surcharges, or government taxes.

Changes to Itinerary

We reserve the right to modify the tour itinerary without prior notice if necessary. Accommodation changes may occur based on availability.
