This Cancellation & Refund Policy explains how cancellations and refunds are handled for safari bookings made through Gir Safari, operated by Wildlife Safari Tourism (Sole Proprietorship). Please read it before you pay.
To cancel or amend a booking, email booking@girsafari.co or message us on WhatsApp with your booking reference. The cancellation is effective from the date and time we receive your request.
Refunds are calculated on the advance amount paid online for the booking, based on how many days before the safari date the cancellation request is received:
| Cancellation received | Refund of advance paid |
|---|---|
| 10 or more days before the safari date | 75% refund |
| 5 to 9 days before the safari date | 50% refund |
| 2 to 4 days before the safari date | 25% refund |
| Less than 2 days before, or no-show | No refund |
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7–10 business days of confirmation. The time taken for the amount to reflect in your account depends on your bank or card issuer.
If a confirmed safari cannot take place because the Forest Department closes the park or cancels permits for that date (for example due to weather, VIP movement or administrative reasons), you may choose a full refund of the advance paid online or a free reschedule to another available date, subject to availability.
Where availability permits, we will try to reschedule your booking free of charge if requested at least 5 days before the safari date. Rescheduling is subject to slot availability and any difference in tariff.
