If you are unable to attend the new dates, you forfeit the money you paid for the tour.

If you cancel for any reason within 45 days of the departure date,  you will forfeit all monies paid towards your tour unless you elect for travel insurance. This is a non-negotiable term. 

Why are Nur African Tours terms NON-NEGOTIABLE?

In an effort to offer the group the best-contracted group rates and package prices, our experiences are deposits are non-refundable funds that are paid to various travel suppliers who require non-refundable payments to secure their inventory. herefore, the purchase of TRAVEL INSURANCE IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOU TO AVOID ASSUMING THE MAJORITY OF THE TOTAL RISK.

​

Roommate Match & Accommodations - The accommodations we provide will require tour members to share living spaces and possibly the same bedrooms. Only men will be able to share accommodations, as well as women, share accommodations unless they are a family or couple. Roommate Match for double, triple occupancy at the request of any traveler will be honored if reasonable ; however, we cannot guarantee one will always be available; neither does Nur African Tours guarantee compatibility. If you are unwilling to take this chance, you can still attempt to locate your own guest roommate. If 45 days before your trip, you do not have a roommate; you will have to settle for a Roommate that is available at the time.

Travel Insurance - Nur African Tours strongly recommends that you protect your travel investment with travel insurance. Travel insurance protection is short-term insurance intended to protect against “unexpected” travel-related expenses and emergencies, such as cancellations, medical expenses, evacuations, loss, or delays, and more. You can find out more and even get a quote right away by researching "Travel Insurance" online.  Again we strongly recommend that all of our travel members obtain travel insurance to avoid assuming financial loss and other unforeseen loss.
