Please note: Some expeditions involving costly advance commitments, such as ship charters, may be subject to modified cancellation and refund terms. Any departures from the policy outlined below will be listed on the webpage of the expedition in question.
Note: all tours have non-refundable deposits that are not transferable.
Refund Scale:
- 90 or more to 61 days prior to the start date, we retain 25% of the total package price of the session being cancelled, and refund the balance paid to date (i.e. if a 50% deposit has been paid toward the session, we refund half of that deposited amount).
- 60 to 31 days prior to the start date, we retain 50% of the total package price of the session being cancelled, and refund 50% of the total cost of the session (if only a 50% deposit has been paid by this time, that deposit is forfeit entirely).
- Within 30 days of the start date of a workshop or expedition, 100% of the package price is due in full and is non-refundable.
Credit Card Processing Fees:
In the case of any booking cancelled 60-days or more after payment of the deposit by credit card, a 3% handling fee applies, as processing fees charged by our merchant services provider are non-recoverable beyond 60-days from the original transaction in the case of Visa and MasterCard payments. In the case of American Express transactions, the 3% handling fee applies to all refunds payable due to client cancellation, as AmEx processing fees are never recoverable by Toft Photo Safaris.
Refund of Payments Made by Check: No processing fees are withheld in the case of refund of payments that were made by check. Please contact us directly to notify us that you wish to make your payments by check and we will assist you with the process.
Cancellation by Toft Photo Safaris: In the event that Toft Photo Safaris is forced to cancel a workshop or expedition, we will provide a full refund of any deposits or fees paid to Toft Photo Safaris by the client toward the tour in question.
All cancellations must be made in writing by mail or by email to roy@toftphoto.com and received and acknowledged by Roy Toft of Toft Photo Safaris.
