Terms & Conditions

Merchant identity

Safari Senegal is operated by SAFARESENE, an individual business based in Dakar, Senegal. These terms apply to all bookings, quote payments and manual payment links issued by the company.

1. Purpose

These terms govern the sale of travel services by Safari Senegal.

2. Prices

Prices are displayed in West African CFA franc (XOF) or Euro (EUR), taxes included, unless otherwise stated and excluding handling/shipping fees.

3. Orders

You can place orders on our website. Contractual information is presented in French or English and will be confirmed at the latest upon order validation.

4. Order confirmation

Any order placed on the website implies acceptance of these Terms. Confirmation of your order implies full and unconditional adherence to these terms and conditions.

5. Payment

Validating your order requires payment of the indicated price. Payment is made by credit card via a secure system or on site depending on the activity conditions.

6. Cancellation and refunds

You can cancel at any time. The cancellation fee depends on how many days before departure the cancellation is made, and applies to all products:

  • 56 days or more before departure: no fee. Any deposit paid is kept as a travel credit usable on a future booking.
  • 31 to 55 days before departure: 30% of the total booking cost.
  • 15 to 30 days before departure: 60% of the total booking cost.
  • 14 days or fewer before departure: 100% of the total booking cost. No refund is issued.

Once a trip or service has started, no refund is due for unused services. For products marked with specific conditions on their booking page, those conditions prevail. Cancellation requests must be sent by email to [email protected] or via WhatsApp at +221 76 406 21 31 with your booking reference.

7. Modification of a booking

Any request to modify a confirmed booking (date, time, number of travelers, pickup point or services) must be sent by email or WhatsApp with the booking reference. Modifications are subject to availability and to any price difference for the new services. A modification requested after the applicable free-cancellation deadline is treated as a cancellation followed by a new booking, and the cancellation fees above apply.

8. Additional fees outside the package

The price confirmed at booking covers only the services explicitly listed in the offer or quote. Any consumption or service not included in the initial package (extra meals, additional excursions, supplementary mileage, waiting time, extended hours, entrance fees, personal expenses or any service requested on site) is invoiced in addition and payable directly to Safari Senegal or its provider.

9. Service delivery

Safari Senegal sells tourism services delivered in Senegal on the date and time confirmed in the booking: guided excursions, transfers, private driver services, group departures and tailor-made trips. No physical goods are shipped. Meeting point, pickup time and practical instructions are confirmed by email, WhatsApp or through the website.

10. Returns, refunds and complaints

As our products are dated services, physical return conditions do not apply. Eligible refunds are processed after verification of the booking reference, customer identity, payment status and cancellation conditions. Complaints can be sent to [email protected] or WhatsApp +221 76 406 21 31.

11. Invoices and receipts

Each booking generates a booking reference and a written confirmation. For each confirmed online payment, a receipt/invoice (PDF) showing the merchant identity (SAFARESENE, RCCM SN DKR 2024 A 48584, NINEA 011705087), the customer details and the service is issued and made available with the booking.

12. Compliance

Customer verification, transaction security, responsible use and AML/CFT controls are described in our Compliance & Transaction Security policy.

13. Chargebacks and payment disputes

Online card payments are processed by our payment provider PayDunya. If you have any concern about a charge, you agree to contact Safari Senegal first at [email protected] or WhatsApp +221 76 406 21 31 so we can resolve it directly. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank for a service that has been delivered, or that falls outside the cancellation conditions above, is considered abusive: Safari Senegal keeps the booking record, written confirmations, identity and payment evidence and will contest any unjustified chargeback with the payment provider and, where applicable, the competent authorities. Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks may also lead to the refusal of future bookings.
