REFUNDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE AGAINST A BOOKING

Any refund due by Serondella to the client may, at the discretion of the client, either be held as a future credit by Serondella in the name of the client at full value for use against any future booking or returned to the client subject to a 4% administration fee on the full booking value.

  • If travel restrictions are imposed on South Africa as a destination by the traveller’s country of residence.
  • If South Africa as a destination on the traveller’s itinerary is under official government-sanctioned lockdown and prohibits them from travel.
  • If South Africa as a destination on the traveller’s itinerary has no formal lockdown but has closed its borders and airports to international travellers.
  • If South Africa as a destination on the traveller’s itinerary will not accept or allow entry from persons from their country of residence.
  • If international flights are cancelled with no alternative routings available for travellers to use to reach us.
