Africa...maybe?
Well, we found a great deal on a one month tour for Africa! We were overjoyed. But, it seems the deal was not as great as we supposed. The trip was advertised as a 'special rate' with a great discount for 29 days...WOW!. It turned out that not only did the company not have any seats available, but they charged our credit card the full amount of the trip, took almost two weeks to tell us there was no availability even though their website still showed available spaces (long after we paid a 50% premium to get air tickets for the dates), had no gorilla permits... wanted to charge the regular price for the next available dates and...wanted to charge us a cancellation fee...and after two weeks of back-and-forth have still not credited our credit card with the refund. The company...Intrepid. Be very careful of unbelievable deals!

Well good news on the Africa trip. We have had some set backs (true) but we also found that GAP (a Canadian Co.) has a great tour and for the right amount of money AND you pay a depsoit of $250 AND if you have to cancel your seats up to 60 days before departure they will transfer your deposit into a 'lifetime deposit' for a future trip...WOW! you can't get much better than that especially after all we had been through with Intrepid...
ReplyDeleteYes, we are booking the tour and we will definately give GAP a lot more business.
