(c)Third-Party Suppliers
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya acts as a tour operator and booking agent for a wide range of accommodation providers, airlines, transport companies, national parks, conservancies, activity providers, and other travel suppliers.
Where an itinerary includes services provided by third parties, the applicable deposit, payment, amendment, cancellation, and refund policies of those suppliers shall apply to the relevant portion of the booking. Where a third-party supplier's cancellation policy is stricter than that of Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya, the supplier's policy shall prevail for those specific services.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya will communicate any special supplier terms where applicable during the quotation or booking process or upon request. Except where expressly overridden by the written terms of a third-party supplier relating to a specific service, all other provisions contained within these Terms and Conditions shall remain valid, binding, and fully enforceable.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be liable for cancellation penalties, amendment fees, airline charges, park fee forfeitures, accommodation charges, or any other costs imposed by third-party suppliers over which the Company has no control.
(d)Cancellation by Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya
Although cancellations by Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya are rare, the Company reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or amend any booking due to operational requirements, safety or security concerns, adverse weather conditions, insufficient participation, government directives, Force Majeure, or any other circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Where a cancellation occurs for reasons within the reasonable control of Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya (excluding the client's failure to make payment or comply with these Terms and Conditions), the Company will, where reasonably practicable, offer one of the following options:
- An alternative safari, tour, or travel arrangement of comparable or higher value.
- A travel credit to be used towards a future booking within a period determined by Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya.
- A refund of monies paid for the affected services, less any non-refundable costs, cancellation fees, or charges already incurred and imposed by third-party suppliers, where legally applicable.
The remedies set out above shall constitute the client's sole and exclusive remedies in respect of any cancellation by Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya.
Where a tour, safari, airport transfer, or any other travel service is cancelled, postponed, delayed, interrupted, or curtailed due to a Force Majeure Event, including but not limited to pandemics, epidemics, public health emergencies, government travel advisories or restrictions, border closures, visa restrictions, airline suspensions, strikes, civil unrest, terrorism, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, wildlife incidents, road closures, mechanical breakdowns, or any other extraordinary event beyond the reasonable control of Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya, the Company shall not be liable for any compensation, consequential loss, indirect damages, loss of enjoyment, or additional expenses incurred by the client.
In such circumstances, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya will use all reasonable efforts to offer suitable alternatives, postpone the affected services, secure supplier credits, or reschedule the booking where practicable. Any refunds shall be strictly subject to the refund policies of the respective accommodation providers, airlines, transport operators, national parks, conservancies, and other third-party suppliers. Where suppliers issue travel credits, vouchers, or alternative travel dates in place of monetary refunds, the client agrees to accept such alternatives to the extent that they are made available to Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya.
Where any refund, credit, voucher, postponed travel date, or alternative arrangement is received from an accommodation provider, airline, transport operator, national park, conservancy, or any other third-party supplier, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall pass such benefit on to the client, less any non-refundable administrative charges, payment processing fees, or costs already incurred where applicable.
Clients acknowledge that Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya acts as an intermediary and booking agent for many travel services and cannot refund monies that have not first been refunded by the respective third-party supplier. Where a supplier offers travel credits, vouchers, alternative travel dates, or substitute services in lieu of a cash refund, the client agrees to accept such arrangements to the extent that they are made available to Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya will use all reasonable efforts to negotiate the most favourable outcome on behalf of its clients with the relevant suppliers. However, the Company shall not be held liable for the refund policies, insolvency, financial inability, contractual obligations, or decisions of any third-party supplier, nor for any consequential loss, additional expenses, or damages arising from such decisions.
(e) Application of These Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to bookings made directly with Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya, including bookings confirmed through our official website, email, telephone, WhatsApp, social media channels, direct bank transfer, Pesapal, credit/debit card, MPESA, CASH or any other payment method or communication channel operated or expressly authorised by Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya.
Bookings made through third-party booking platforms, online travel agencies (OTAs), travel agents, tour wholesalers, destination management companies, or other intermediaries—including but not limited to Tripadvisor, Viator, GetYourGuide, Expedia, Booking.com, SafariBookings, or similar booking platforms—shall be governed primarily by the booking terms, cancellation policies, payment conditions, refund policies, and dispute resolution procedures of the respective platform or intermediary through which the booking was made.
Where a booking is made through a third-party platform, any cancellation requests, amendments, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, or claims must be submitted directly through that platform in accordance with its applicable Terms and Conditions. Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be responsible for overriding, modifying, or waiving the contractual terms imposed by any third-party booking platform or intermediary.
These Terms and Conditions shall only apply to the extent that they do not conflict with the mandatory terms and conditions of the relevant third-party booking platform. In the event of any inconsistency, the contractual terms of the applicable booking platform shall prevail in respect of the services booked through that platform.
5. Changes to Bookings and Services
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya reserves the right to amend, modify, substitute, postpone, or cancel any aspect of a tour, safari, itinerary, accommodation, transport, or other travel arrangements before or after a booking has been confirmed where such changes are necessary for operational, safety, conservation, weather, governmental, or other reasons beyond the Company's reasonable control.
Most changes will be minor and will not materially affect your travel experience. Where a significant change becomes necessary before departure, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya will notify the client as soon as reasonably practicable. The client will then have the option, where applicable, to:
- Accept the revised arrangements.
- Transfer to an alternative tour or travel package of comparable value (subject to payment of any price difference or refund where applicable).
- Cancel the booking and receive a refund for the affected services, where required under these Terms and Conditions.
The Company's responsibility extends only to those services expressly confirmed in the booking confirmation or travel itinerary. Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya accepts no responsibility for flights, accommodation, transfers, excursions, or any other travel services independently arranged by the client or through third parties.
Clients are solely responsible for arriving at the designated departure point at the stated check-in or departure time. Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be liable for missed departures, unused services, additional expenses, or consequential losses resulting from a client's late arrival or failure to join the tour as scheduled.
6. Force Majeure

Where a Force Majeure event occurs, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya reserves the right to modify, postpone, suspend, reroute, substitute, or cancel any part of the travel arrangements without liability for compensation. The Company shall not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or additional costs incurred by the client, including but not limited to accommodation, meals, transportation, visa costs, airline charges, or other travel-related expenses arising from such events.
7. Complaints and Claims

8. Flight Schedules and Delays
Unless expressly included in the confirmed itinerary, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya does not arrange or issue international airline tickets. Clients are solely responsible for ensuring that their international and domestic flight schedules are compatible with the commencement and conclusion of the booked travel services.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be liable for delays, cancellations, schedule changes, missed flight connections, denied boarding, baggage delays, or any other disruption caused by airlines, airports, immigration authorities, weather conditions, or other third-party service providers.

Where reasonably possible, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya will provide alternative arrangements, accommodation, transport, or services of comparable standard and value. Such substitutions shall not constitute a breach of contract and shall not entitle the client to compensation solely because of the change.
The Company also reserves the right to alter routes, departure times, game drive schedules, accommodation, or modes of transport without prior notice where circumstances require in order to ensure the safety, comfort, or overall success of the tour.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya further reserves the right to decline to accept, or to remove from any tour or safari, any participant whose conduct, health, behaviour, or actions are considered likely to endanger the safety, welfare, comfort, or enjoyment of other guests, staff, wildlife, or property, or who fails to comply with the lawful instructions of the Company's representatives.

Travellers should also seek advice from their local physician or public health authority regarding recommended or mandatory vaccinations, medications, and other health precautions well in advance of travel. Certain destinations may require proof of vaccination, including but not limited to Yellow Fever vaccination certificates, depending on the traveller's country of origin or transit.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be responsible or liable for any costs, losses, delays, denied boarding, refusal of entry, deportation, quarantine, missed services, or additional expenses arising from a traveller's failure to obtain the required travel documents, visas, health certificates, vaccinations, or to comply with applicable immigration, customs, or public health regulations.
(d) Transportation

Depending on the nature of the tour or safari, transport may be provided in safari minibuses, 4x4 safari Land Cruisers, passenger vehicles, coaches, luxury vehicles, boats, aircraft, or any other suitable mode of transportation.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya reserves the right to substitute vehicles with others of a similar or higher standard where operational requirements, maintenance, weather conditions, safety considerations, or circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control make such substitution necessary. Such substitutions shall not constitute a breach of contract.
The Company also reserves the right to engage carefully selected and reputable subcontractors, transport providers, airlines, charter operators, rail operators, boat operators, and other service providers to deliver part or all of the transportation services included in the itinerary.

Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be liable for any loss, theft, damage, injury, illness, death, delay, cancellation, inconvenience, missed connections, or consequential losses arising directly or indirectly from the acts, omissions, negligence, insolvency, or failure of any independent supplier or third-party service provider, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.
Many safaris, excursions, and adventure activities involve inherent risks that cannot be eliminated despite the exercise of reasonable care. By confirming a booking and participating in such activities, each client acknowledges these risks and voluntarily accepts full responsibility for their participation.
Activities involving inherent or heightened risk include, but are not limited to:
Participants acknowledge that such activities may involve risks including, but not limited to, wildlife encounters, animal attacks, vehicle accidents, falls, drowning, altitude sickness, mechanical failure, adverse weather conditions, road hazards, medical emergencies, acts of third parties, or other unforeseen circumstances that may result in serious injury, permanent disability, or death.
Although Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya and its suppliers take all reasonable precautions to promote the safety and well-being of participants, no guarantee of safety can be given. Participation in any optional or adventure activity is entirely voluntary and undertaken at the participant's own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya shall not be liable for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, delay, or claim arising from participation in any optional activity, adventure activity, sporting activity, wildlife experience, or services provided by independent third-party suppliers.
11. Travel Insurance

By confirming a booking, all participants acknowledge and voluntarily accept these inherent risks.
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya, its directors, employees, guides, representatives, agents, and subcontractors shall not be liable for any loss, theft, damage, injury, illness, accident, death, delay, cancellation, missed connections, additional expenses, or inconvenience suffered by any participant or to their luggage or personal belongings where such events arise from circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control. These include, but are not limited to, acts of God, adverse weather, natural disasters, wildlife incidents, road conditions, mechanical breakdowns, airline delays or cancellations, strikes, civil unrest, government actions, epidemics, pandemics, border closures, or the acts or omissions of third-party suppliers.
All clients are strongly advised to obtain comprehensive travel insurance before departure. Such insurance should provide adequate cover for, at a minimum:

Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya accepts no responsibility for costs or losses that would otherwise have been recoverable under an appropriate travel insurance policy.
12. Security and Personal Safety
Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya is committed to providing safe and enjoyable travel experiences. However, as with travel to any destination worldwide, visitors should exercise normal care and remain aware of their surroundings at all times.
Guests are advised to take reasonable precautions to safeguard their personal belongings.
