Transfers

Transfer times are given as a guide and will be subject to change dependant on road and weather conditions or the number of stops made enroute.

Representation

Our local representatives are available to answer any questions that you may have about the resort, book excursions, and assist with transfers or any problem you may encounter. A representative may not be based at your hotel, and it may be necessary to liaise with our resort office of which details will be provided.

Weather

The weather charts featured are given only as a general guide. We cannot guarantee weather conditions. Please bear in mind that severe weather such as heavy rainfall, or rough seas are to be expected at certain times during the year.

Brochure / Website Room Descriptions and Facilities

Photographs and descriptions of hotels and resort facilities are shown in good faith. Room descriptions are supplied by the hoteliers and in some cases, we may sometimes refer to suites or deluxe accommodation. These are in general, larger rooms with additional features however this does not necessarily mean that the accommodation comprises more than one room. It is possible that occasionally facilities may be unavailable or limited, due to hotel maintenance, adverse weather conditions or seasonal restrictions etc. We have used all reasonable endeavours to ensure that nothing in our brochure is false or misleading at the time of going to press but reserve the right to change any brochure/website particulars before you book. Please also bear in mind that specific requests made at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed.

Child Safety

Should you be traveling with young children, we recommend that you advise us at the time of the booking. The safety of your children is of utmost importance to us, however, we must stress that it is important for you to remain vigilant at all times during your holiday to ensure their safety.

Any passengers under 18 years of age travelling to South Africa will be denied boarding if they are not carrying their original birth certificate and in the event that only one parent is travelling, certified written consent from the other parent is required to allow the child to travel.

Pregnancy Note

Airline regulations state that women 28 weeks or more into pregnancy, at the time of return travel, must have medical certification of fitness to travel. Normally after 32 weeks permission to travel is refused however, airlines have different policies and we would need to check as to whether they will agree to carry you, prior to confirming your holiday. It is imperative that you notify us of your pregnancy at the time of booking or as at such time you become aware.

Payment Procedure

We invariably require a deposit which we shall notify to you but shall be not less than GBP150 per person (excluding infants) plus any applicable insurance premiums on confirmation of booking. If holiday is based on a special offer, you may be required to pay the full payment immediately upon confirmation.

Price Increases

No price increases will apply once full payment has been received. Surcharges may be applied in the event of a variation in transportation costs, exchange rates, government action, fees for certain services or fuel increases charged by carriers. If the increase is more than [10] % you will have an option to cancel your booking and obtain a refund of all monies paid (excluding insurance, visa and vaccination costs) provided the cancellation is made in writing within seven (7) days of receipt of the notice.

Cancellation by Customer

All cancellations by customer must be received in writing by the person who signed the booking form. Please note that the following cancellation fees apply;

  • 8 weeks prior to departure: Lose deposit *
  • 42-56 days prior to departure: Lose 30% *
  • 29-42 days prior to departure: Lose 60% *
  • 3-27 days prior to departure: Lose 90% *
  • Within 72 hours: Lose 100%

*If the travel arrangements have been "issued" on "non-refundable" special fares, we will not be able to refund any monies. Cancellation charges made by our suppliers may be higher than the cost of the deposit and we reserve the right to pass on such fees to you. ZEETRAVELS LTD will advise of such fees before cancellation. In the case of cancellation after receipt of documents, no refund will be given unless unused tickets are returned to ZEETRAVELS LTD. Insurance premiums and airport tax charges are not returnable.

Flight & Flights Routings

Flights on our programme are arranged with reputable airlines. Should delays or cancellations occur, the airline would normally provide refreshments, meals and if necessary, accommodation. We do not provide such services at the point of departure or at the point of return to the UK. Any claim relating to such events must be made directly to the airline. A direct flight is a flight where there is no change of aircraft enroute, but stops are possible, as the aircraft may need to refuel or allow other passengers to join or leave the aircraft. A non-stop flight travels from the origin to the destination without stopping. Where a flight is shown to travel via other destinations, at least one change of aircraft is necessary enroute.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, airlines may find it necessary to alter the published routing. This may be a last-minute change or can even occur during the flight to/from your destination.

Flight timings may also change. Should this occur, and if we are able, we will inform you as soon as we are made aware of any changes to the previously confirmed timings given to us by the airlines.

Independent Travel Arrangement

We cannot accept responsibility for independent travel arrangement made by the clients, to reach their airport of departure or indeed their onward journey having arrived back to the UK.

Insurance

We recommend that you take out travel insurance. Our staff are trained to offer you the best policy for your travel needs. Please note that you will be required to pay your insurance premium at the same time as your deposit.

The insurance quotation is only valid if passengers are resident in the UK, and are below 65 years of age, without any medical problems.

Data Protection Policy

To ensure that your holiday runs smoothly we and your Travel Agent (if you use one) need to use information such as your name and address, special needs, dietary requirement, etc. We will apply appropriate security measures to protect this data. However, we must pass it to suppliers of your travel arrangements, including airlines, hotels and transport companies. We may also supply it to security or credit checking companies and to public authorities such as customs and immigration. If your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA) controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strict as in the UK. We will only pass data including sensitive information regarding disabilities or dietary and religious requirements to people responsible for your travel arrangements. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers in the EEA or elsewhere, we cannot provide your booking. When you make this booking, you consent to this information being passed to all relevant persons. Information held by your Travel Agent is subject to that company's own data protection policy. We can supply a copy of your information held by us; there is a reasonable charge for providing this. We may use this information to contact you with details of our other products and services.
