How to Pay for Your Tanzania Safari

Booking your dream safari with Watu Safaris is simple and secure. Once your itinerary has been confirmed, we will send you a detailed invoice together with the available payment options. You can choose the method that is most convenient for you.

We recommend making your payment as early as possible to secure accommodation, domestic flights (if applicable), and park reservations, especially during the peak safari season.

Payment Terms

To confirm your booking, payment must be made according to the terms stated on your invoice.

  • A deposit or full payment may be required depending on your travel dates and the accommodation booked.
  • The remaining balance must be paid before your arrival or before your safari begins.
  • Last-minute bookings generally require full payment at the time of confirmation.
  • Once payment has been received, we will send you a confirmation receipt for your records.

Payment Methods

1. Bank Wire Transfer (Recommended)

International bank transfer is the preferred payment method for most bookings.

Please note:

  • All bank transfer charges must be paid by the sender.
  • Ensure the full invoice amount reaches our account.
  • Include your booking or invoice number as the payment reference.
  • Email us a copy of your transfer confirmation once the payment has been made to help us track your transaction quickly.
