An enquiry does not reserve a safari
Sending an online form, preparing an email, speaking with a team member or receiving an initial response does not reserve dates, quota, a professional hunter, camp, concession, aircraft, accommodation, filming service or rate.
A safari is confirmed only when CM Safaris has issued the relevant written proposal and booking documents, all required acceptance steps have been completed and the required cleared payment has been received. Do not book non-refundable travel until the team confirms that you should do so.
Availability, permits and lawful hunting
Safari availability and proposed hunting are subject to current law, seasons, quota, permits, area access, wildlife management decisions, operator and professional-hunter availability, weather and conditions on the ground. CM Safaris will not arrange or support unlawful hunting.
A website page or past hunt report does not confirm that a species, area, trophy, method or date is available for a new booking. Any material change will be discussed with you and handled under the final booking documents and applicable law.
Wildlife and results cannot be guaranteed
A free-ranging safari is affected by wildlife movement, natural conditions, weather, visibility, guest ability, safety decisions and many factors beyond reasonable control. No sighting, opportunity, trophy size, filming result or successful hunt can be guaranteed.
Images, measurements, testimonials and stories on this website record past experiences only. Ethical, legal and safety decisions always take priority over a desired result.
Remote travel and inherent risks
Safaris take place in remote wild areas. Risks may include dangerous wildlife, firearms, rough roads, open vehicles, boats or aircraft, uneven terrain, heat, water, insects, illness, limited communications and delayed access to medical care. Travel disruption, border requirements, political events and third-party transport can also affect a trip.
Before confirmation you will receive the applicable safety, indemnity and booking information. Guests must act responsibly and follow lawful safety instructions from the professional hunter, camp team and transport providers at all times.
Insurance is your responsibility
Every guest is responsible for arranging and maintaining comprehensive travel and medical insurance appropriate to the full itinerary. Cover must include emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation and should be checked for remote-area activity, hunting and any firearms-related exclusions.
CM Safaris recommends considering a specialist field-rescue or evacuation membership, but membership is not a substitute for comprehensive insurance. Read policy terms, limits, territorial coverage, exclusions and pre-existing condition rules and carry the relevant emergency details while travelling.
Traveller responsibilities
Unless the final booking documents expressly say otherwise, each guest is responsible for:
- valid passports, visas, transit permissions and entry requirements;
- firearm, ammunition, export, import and transit permits where relevant;
- vaccinations, medication and individual medical or mobility advice;
- checking official travel advice and airline requirements;
- declaring health, dietary, mobility or safety information that the team reasonably needs to plan safely;
- being suitably prepared for the physical demands discussed with the team; and
- ensuring information supplied for every person in the booking is accurate.
Entry, health and permit rules can change. Confirm them with the relevant government, embassy, airline and qualified adviser before travel.
Third-party travel and filming services
Airlines, charter operators, transfer companies, accommodation providers, insurers, rescue services and independent videographers may provide parts of an itinerary under their own terms. CM Safaris will identify relevant arrangements in the proposal where practicable, but does not control an independent provider's operations.
Filming and editing are included only when expressly stated in the final proposal. The intended scope, deliverables, timing, access and fees should be agreed in writing before confirmation.
Final documents take priority
The final written proposal and booking documents will set out the agreed itinerary, inclusions and exclusions, rates, payment schedule, cancellation consequences, responsibilities, applicable law and dispute process. If those documents conflict with general website wording, the final signed or accepted booking documents take priority to the extent the law permits.
Nothing in this notice excludes a consumer, privacy or other legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
