In order to provide guests with comfort while booking a safari with Brave Africa during and after the coronavirus pandemic, we have crafted new policies for cancelations and reschedules. Beyond the updated policy outlined below, all of Brave Africa’s standard Terms and Conditions apply. These policies are in effect for all safaris booked by May 1, 2021.
2021 Season Departures
Safaris Departing April 1, 2021 – March 31, 2022
Extreme Flexibility
- Reschedule (with 60 days’ notice) for any available departure date through March 31, 2022—for any reason and without penalty.
- Our standard booking and cancelation policy applies.
- The terms set out above are subject to availability and apply only to bookings with Brave Africa. Brave Africa is not responsible for the booking and cancelation policies of other safari operators or travel agencies. Brave Africa’s Book with Confidence Promotion and standard booking and cancelation policies cannot be overridden by another party.

- All of Brave Africa’s remaining standard booking and cancelation policies apply.
COVID-19 Exceptions
Although safari reschedules and cancelations are typically not permitted within 30 days of departure due to investments already made on behalf of the guests, Brave Africa understands the unpredictability of this pandemic. As such, we will exercise as much flexibility as we are able on a case-by-case basis should COVID-19 impact your ability to go on safari (e.g., flight cancelations, border closures, W.H.O. guidance, or you or someone in your party tests positive for coronavirus).
Brave Africa reserves the right to update our Book with Confidence policy at any time. We will constantly reevaluate the pandemic situation and extend flexibility as required. However, any modifications or termination of this policy will NOT retroactively affect any previously-made bookings.
Brave Africa 2021 Safari Rates
These rates—the same as 2020—are good for all Brave Africa safaris scheduled between April 1, 2021 – March 31, 2022. They include two options:
- 10-Days/9-Nights: Moremi, Khwai, and Savuti
- 7-Days/6-Nights: Khwai and Moremi; or Khwai and Savuti
60 days advance notice is far too much in these times. You never known if your flight gets cancelled, if borders get closed etc. So even if you’re interested, this is too much risk right now.
We hope that by 2021, the world should have a much better handle on the coronavirus and 60 days of notice should be plenty of time. We’ll re-evaluate our policy if these dates get closer and there’s still a lot of unknowns and concerns about flights and countries closing. However, the 60-days notice doesn’t kick in until after March 31, 2021, as such there are still 7 months for things to get better and for 60 days notice to be more than enough.
