Terms & Conditions

Last updated August 2026

1. About These Terms

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Africa Yoga Safaris website and any retreat, itinerary, or travel-curation service booked through us. By enquiring, booking, or using this site, you agree to the terms below.

2. Our Role

Africa Yoga Safaris operates as a retreat travel curator. We design itineraries and coordinate accommodation, transport, permits and on-the-ground logistics across South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia. Certain yoga experiences — including Yoga on the Zambezi, Yoga at the Falls, and Yoga with Elephants — are delivered in association with our partner studio, Victoria Falls Yoga, and other accredited local operators. We do not operate as a public drop-in retreat provider; retreats are arranged for private groups, studios, and teacher-led departures.

3. Bookings, Deposits & Payment

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure any itinerary. The remaining balance is due on the schedule set out in your written proposal, typically 60–90 days before departure. Bookings are only confirmed once a deposit has been received and acknowledged in writing.

4. Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellation terms scale with proximity to departure and are detailed in each booking’s written proposal. Third-party suppliers (airlines, lodges, guides) may apply their own cancellation policies, which will be passed on where applicable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation.

5. Travel Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance, including medical evacuation cover, is a mandatory condition of travel with us. Proof of insurance may be requested prior to departure.

6. Health, Safety & Assumption of Risk

Travel in the destinations we operate in involves inherent risks, including those associated with wildlife encounters, remote locations, and physical activity. Participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for consulting a medical professional regarding vaccinations and fitness to travel. A signed liability waiver is required before departure.

7. Visas & Travel Documents

Participants are responsible for holding a valid passport and any visas required for their nationality and itinerary. We provide destination guidance in good faith, but entry requirements remain the traveller’s own responsibility and may change without notice.

8. Itinerary Changes & Force Majeure

Itineraries may be adjusted due to weather, wildlife activity, safety conditions, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We will make every reasonable effort to provide an equivalent alternative and will communicate any material changes as early as possible.

9. Third-Party Services

Some experiences are delivered by independent local partners, including Victoria Falls Yoga, lodges, guides and transport operators. While we select partners carefully, we are not liable for acts or omissions of independent third parties outside our direct control.

10. Photography & Media

We may photograph or film retreat activities for marketing purposes. If you would prefer not to be included, please let us know in writing before departure.

11. Website Use

Content on this website is provided for general information about our destinations and services and is updated periodically. It should not be relied upon as a substitute for official travel advisories issued by your home government.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Zimbabwe, without prejudice to any statutory rights you hold under the law of your country of residence.
