Terms and Conditions

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be sent to us in writing via mail, fax, or e-mail. Cancellations will be effective based on the date of postmark or the date we receive your email/fax, and confirmation of receipt MUST be received from BornWild. If you must cancel your reservation, a cancellation fee will be assessed according to the policy outlined below. Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to weather, terrorism, civil unrest, your personal desire to travel or not, governmental/travel warnings or advisories, including but not limited U.S. State Department or World Health Organization warnings,  personal, or family or medical emergencies.

There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early for any reason, including for quarantine or travel delays outside of BornWild’s control. Each BornWild trip departs on the scheduled date, contingent upon conditions and other factors. It is recommended that Travelers arrive in the host city at least one day in advance so as not to miss a trip departure.

Single Supplement, internal air charges, permits, and all other line items included in your invoice are considered part of the total trip cost and are subject to cancellation fees. In addition, any fees charged by airlines or third-party service providers as a result of your cancellation will be billed to you. Percentage charges are calculated based on total trip cost. Due to this, we highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance from a third-party service provider of your choice. We also highly recommend that you consider securing “cancel for any reason” coverage, which must be obtained soon after your first deposit is paid for your travels. You will need to check with your individual insurance provider to determine their required registration period for this type of coverage. This coverage is in addition to the $200,000 minimum in Emergency Evacuation/Medical Protection which all Travelers are required to have to participate on our trips. See the “Travel Insurance” section later in this Agreement.
