The company reserves the right to cancel the event or any part of it for any of the following reasons:

Save as above, the company shall be under no further liability to the client for cancellation of the event or any part of it. If, due to reasons beyond our control, an event is unable to take place due (but not limited) to the closure of premises, the ceasing of trading, or a change in supplier’s management. The company will provide the client with an alternative event and if this does not prove possible, shall refund the cost of the event.
The cancellation of a booking by the client must be made in writing and signed from the group head. The amount of the cancellation fee is calculated according to the date on which the company receives written cancellation notice:
Cancellation, medical and repatriation insurance is compulsory for all Gorilla Link Tours Ltd’s events. And it is the client’s responsibility to arrange such insurance through the client’s broker. It is strongly recommended that clients also take out insurance to cover emergency travel and accommodation, lost baggage and any other cover the clients deems fit. Other than compulsory insurance, the decision of which insurance cover he/she obtains is solely the responsibility of the client.
If one or more clients of a larger private group cancel a trip, they will be charged their part of the shared costs for that group trip, so that the rest of the group will not face any price increase. This amount is in addition to the general cancellation fees (as listed in section 7a).
The company shall try to accommodate any reasonable changes the client wishes to make to the event. Change and amendment requests should be made with the company and not with end suppliers. And such
requests should be made in writing to the company by the group head. These changes shall not be deemed accepted until confirmed in writing by the company. If the client wishes to increase or decrease the number of persons participating in the event, this may be done up to six weeks prior to the date. Upon which your event is due to start without additional charge. All amendments made after that date will incur an administration charge of US$ 50.00 per person. The company cannot guarantee that the change to the price will be pro-rata. But will instead depend upon the arrangements the company is able to make with its suppliers. Subject to the company’s written agreement, the client may transfer a booking to a person. Who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the event.
When requested accommodation is fully booked or otherwise unavailable. Therefore the company reserves the right to change the accommodation to an accommodation of the same standard in the same area. This change must be communicated to the client.
Fare increases may occur due to any increase in airline tariffs, fuel costs, game reserve fees, or fluctuation of exchange rates. The company reserves the right to modify the fare and add a surcharge. Should any clients refuse to accept and pay such surcharge. The company reserves the right to cancel the tour and retain full payment.
The client acknowledges that it is solely his/her responsibility to ensure that he/she is in possession of the necessary travel documents. That may be required in respect of the proposed tour and itinerary. As well as all health and other certificates that may be required.
Clients who have special requirements must specify such requests to the company in the booking reservation form. Whilst the company will
always endeavor to accommodate such requests, it does not guarantee that it will always be possible.
