Payment Options and Guidance
How to Pay for Your Safari
Once you’ve selected a safari package with Qube X Safaris, the next step is to confirm your arrival date. This is essential for us to arrange the necessary permits for your trip, such as Gorilla or Chimpanzee permits, depending on your chosen safari.
Accepted Currency
To streamline transactions, we only accept payments in US dollars (USD). This is due to the widespread use of USD in East Africa’s tourism industry. While local agents may offer alternative currency options, our head office requires payments in USD.
Payment Methods
Bank Transfer
We are working to integrate electronic payment options. Currently, to arrange for your payment, please contact Qube X Safaris directly.
Cash Payment on Arrival
For your convenience, we offer the option to pay in cash upon arrival. While initial deposits must be made via bank transfer or credit card at the time of booking, you can bring US dollars to our office at the start of your safari. Please note that your safari will only commence once this payment is made. Contact your Qube X Safaris representative to arrange cash payment on arrival.
Using TransferWise
TransferWise provides a convenient and cost-effective way to send money internationally. It offers competitive exchange rates and low transfer fees, with the added benefit of transparency and security. You can send money through their website or app, with regular updates on the status of your transfer.
Refund and Cancellation Policy
Life can be unpredictable, and we understand that you might need to cancel or reschedule your safari. Whether it’s due to a family emergency, sudden illness, or other unforeseen circumstances, we’re here to help.
Where possible, we recommend rescheduling your safari rather than canceling. Many accommodations are flexible with date changes, even if they don’t offer refunds for cancellations. For more details, please refer to our full terms and conditions.
Travel Insurance
We strongly advise all our clients to secure comprehensive travel insurance. This will protect you in case you need to cancel or reschedule your trip due to unforeseen events. A good travel insurance policy will cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unexpected situations.
