Yellowwood is not a travel agent, or a tour operator, but a tour broker with a close relationship to a number of suppliers whose properties, tours or other services are marketed on the above mentioned websites. When a booking is made it is not made with Yellowwood but with the relevant supplier of accommodation, tours or services.
All bookings and trips are subjected to the specific booking conditions and cancellation policy of the specific supplier. Customers are responsible for reading the booking conditions and cancellation policy of the relevant suppliers; these will be provided to the customer with the initial quote and travel itinerary. In the case of the suppliers of accommodation, tours or other services that also provide holiday activities, these will be subject to the terms and conditions of the provider and are governed by the laws of the country in which they operate.
Your reservation will become confirmed once you have provided your credit card details and paid the required deposits indicated on your invoice and when the supplier acknowledges receipt of your deposit/guarantee. An online confirmation will be sent to you with your travel itinerary. Any other amounts due from you other than any cancellation fees collected by Yellowwood on behalf of any supplier, will be made directly to the supplier concerned. As such, Yellowwood accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any services or arrangements you purchase or for the acts or omissions of any suppliers or other persons or parties connected with any arrangements.
In some cases Yellowwood will charge an initial non-refundable deposit on behalf of the supplier. These deposits are charged in South African Rand (ZAR), or if provided in another currency, at the equivalent amount using the current market conversion rate to South African Rand (ZAR) against the deposit amount.
If you need to cancel or make changes to a confirmed booking, cancellation/amendment charges may be payable to the supplier. The amount of such charges will depend on the individual supplier’s cancellation policy and these charges usually are dependant on the period of notice given. The cancellation policy of each establishment, tour operator or other service provider is provided to the customer with the initial quote. Travel For Life will charge an administrative fee of ZAR 250 for cancelling or changing bookings once a deposit has been received.
