This site may use "cookies" to customise it and make your visit to us more user friendly. Cookies cannot harm your computer in any way and are an industry standard. They are small text files that contain only information provided by you, the visitor, to the website. Furthermore, users may configure their browsers to not accept our cookies.

All quotations or estimates provided by or bookings made with and/or all services rendered by or on behalf of Barefoot Breaks CC Trading as BUSHSCAPES (hereinafter referred to as Bushscapes) are subject to these terms and conditions.

The information contained on the Bushscapes site and quotations is an invitation to do business and not an offer. If you forward an offer to us, Bushscapes shall indicate their acceptance thereof by return mail. Bushscapes acts herein as an agent for our respective business partners and therefore any agreement resulting from the acceptance of an order is deemed to be an agreement between the relevant business partner and yourself.

The person requesting such quotations or estimates or making such booking or to whom any service is rendered, is deemed to have read and accepted the terms and conditions and to have the authority to do so on behalf of the person/s in whose name the estimate or quotation or reservation is requested and/or provided and/or the person/s to whom the services are rendered (collectively referred to as ‘the Client’).

Bushscapes does not own, manage or operate aircraft, transport or hotels and merely facilitates your access to and use of such facilities. Bushscapes provides Clients with travel and/or other services acting as agents for principals such as airlines or hotels (‘collectively referred to as ‘the Principal’). Bushscapes represents the Principal as agents only and accordingly accepts no liability for any loss, damage, injury or death which any Client may suffer as a result of any act or omission on the part of or the failure of the Principal to fulfil its obligations, whether in relation to travel arrangements, accommodation or otherwise. The contract in use by the Principal (which is often constituted by the ticket issued by the Principal), shall constitute the sole contract between the Principal and the Client and any right of recourse the Client may have, will be solely against the Principal.

Bushscapes will prepare a quotation for the proposed travel arrangements. A non-refundable deposit as specified in the quotation is required in order to confirm reservations with Principals, subject to payment of the balance of the price in due course as specified herein. Bushscapes will not confirm any reservation if the deposit and a Booking Confirmation Form signed by the Client are not received. Should clients not sign and return the Booking Confirmation Form but make the deposit payment, they will be automatically deemed to have accepted our Standard Terms and Conditions. The deposit is accepted as part of the inclusive price as specified in the Booking Confirmation Form, and will only be refunded if the application cannot be accommodated. Deposits need to be received within 24 hours of receipt of the quotation to prevent airlines from cancelling seats. Should an airline cancel a client’s seats due to non-payment within 24 hours, the client will be responsible for the difference in seat price, should Bushscapes be unable to re-instate the booking on the original seat class.

A non-refundable deposit (‘the Deposit’) equivalent to 50% of the land arrangement costs of the Proposed Travel Arrangements (‘the Price’) plus the full amount including taxes for the air travel portion is required in order to confirm the Booking, subject to payment of the balance of the Price in due course as specified. The balance of the Price is due not less than 30 days prior to the date of departure. Where a property insists on payment of a higher deposit than 50% to confirm the reservation or a period longer than the standard 30 days for full payment to be made, then these higher amounts/longer periods will then be applicable. Bookings made within 30 days of the arrival date must be paid in full immediately. If the final payment is not received on time, the travel documents can be delayed or Bushscapes may cancel the Booking. Late payment may also result in cancellation of the reservation by the Principal. If you fail to make the final payment on or before the due date, your booking will be cancelled and you will forfeit the relevant deposit paid.

EFT Transfers: Bushscapes accepts EFT transfers into one of our bank accounts, subject to condition that the EFT transmission report is provided to ourselves and such payment has been confirmed as received by ourselves. Client needs to enable immediate clearance if making payment less than 4 days prior to departure

Cheques: No cheque payments accepted

Credit Cards/Cash: Bushscapes’ standard payment method for South African residents is EFT and credit cards/cash deposits are not accepted as our margins on SA residents’ special rates are too low to afford the fees payable on these transactions. In extreme circumstances, Bushscapes may (at our discretion) make an exception and accept a payment by credit card/cash – however for the reason given above, this would then be subject to a surcharge of 3%. When paying by credit card the Client will be required to complete Bushscapes’ credit card authorization form.

Prices are quoted at the ruling daily exchange rate. Until Bushscapes has received payment of the Price in full, it reserves the right to charge any fluctuations to the Client’s account and the Client undertakes to pay for any such fluctuation on demand. The onus will be on the Client to check that there have been no changes in the Price prior to making full and final payment. However, once payment of the Price in full is received, the Price is guaranteed. However, airfares are subject to the price and conditions quoted by the airlines and cannot be guaranteed by Bushscapes. Should the Client be a group booking and the group number deviate from the number required for the Booking, the Principal may reserve the right to re-cost the Price and raise a surcharge. Should any Client refuse to accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in the Principal cancelling the Booking and retaining any payment made (Bushscapes will be entitled to retain any service fees charged). Should any unavoidable price increases or additional charges be effected by the airlines, Principal or third parties, Bushscapes shall be entitled to recover such costs from the client on invoice to this effect.
