A $1000 deposit per hunter or $500 per non-hunter is required to lock in your dates. Your deposit payable to Wild Wildebeest Lodge should be mailed to the U.S. Office, or you may contact us for banking details to arrange a wire transfer. Your deposit will be applied to your account so may be used toward any costs incurred on your safari. Note that Wild Wildebeest Lodge does not allow back-to-back safaris. U.S. Office ~ Mike and Karen Helbing 11481 - 140th Street Powersville, MO 64672 Cancellation Policy: Deposits are non-refundable; however, should you need to cancel your safari and notify Wild Wildebeest at least six months prior, we will be happy to help you reschedule your trip and apply the deposits accordingly. For cancellations received less than six months prior to the scheduled arrival date, deposits will be forfeited. NEXT: Book Your Flights Your dates must be locked in and deposit must be received prior to booking your flights. Be sure when booking your flights that your name matches exactly how it is shown on your passport book. Your confirmed itinerary should be emailed to the U.S. office at helbing@wwbeest.com. Please note that if you will be traveling with rifles, flights through Europe are not advised. Also note that South Africa Airways has changed their rules and regulations for transporting firearms and ammunition. See their website for complete details. Finally, most airlines only run the international flight once each day, so when booking your flights, do allow yourself plenty of time to make any connections. THEN: Complete Your Paperwork Required paperwork will be emailed to you from the U.S. Office once your dates are confirmed and the office has received your flight itinerary. Each person going on the safari must complete the following documents: Wild Wildebeest Lodge - Outfitter Questionnaire Wild Wildebeest Lodge - Outfitter Indemnity Form Completed forms along with a a copy of your valid passport book should be submitted to the U.S. Office at least 2 months prior to your trip. NOTE: Paperwork for the following year’s bookings will not be emailed until after December 1. Should you want to bring your own rifle on your Africa Adventure, you will need to apply for a temporary import/export permit. For assistance, Wild Wildebeest Lodge recommends Rifle Permits. Contact Henry Durrheim at henry@riflepermits.com or visit his website ~ www.riflepermits.com. See our “Required Forms” page for more information. Health Recommendations ~ The Wild Wildebeest Lodge is not situated in a malaria area. You may consult your physician or visit the CDC’s website for health information ~ http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/south-africa.htm. We suggest Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Tetanus shots for international travel. We also suggest bringing insect/tick repellent for use when you are in the bushveld. OTHER: Out of respect for our wildlife in South Africa and for the best success possible, we strongly recommend that you spend a substantial amount of time practicing your shooting before your scheduled safari. It is suggested that you practice using shooting sticks and also practice shooting in different positions (prone, sitting, standing). Most shooting will not exceed 100 yards. ALSO: If you think you might use your credit card while in South Africa, you must notify your company in advance that you may be doing so in order to assure your card will be accepted and check to see if there is a daily limit. In addition, note that if you plan to use a credit card to settle your final account with Wild Wildebeest Lodge, Visa and Mastercard are accepted. See our “Payment Options” page for more information.
