Exploring South Africa, Victoria Falls & Botswana (9 destinations)

While many tour bookings on TourRadar offer instant booking confirmation, some need to be approved manually by the operator of your tour. You will receive an email once your booking has been confirmed, or you can always check your booking status by logging onto your TourRadar account. Your payment is only deducted from your credit card once the tour operator confirms your place on the tour, at which point you'll receive a booking invoice.

It depends on the payment option you choose. If you choose the Two Payments option, you'll pay an initial deposit. After that, we'll automatically charge your final balance to your designated payment method on the due date shown in the payment schedule. This payment due date is usually 30-60 days before your tour departure date. If you choose to pay in instalments, we'll automatically charge your last instalment to your designated payment method according to your payment plan. This payment due date is also usually 30-60 days before your tour departure date. Note that the final payment date always varies depending on the tour you book. Please check your invoice or your TourRadar booking conversation page for the due date after you placed your booking.

If, in the rare case your booking request is declined by the tour operator, your pre-authorised payment is released back to your credit card and no charges are made. Alternatively, our Travel Experts are available 24/7 to help you explore alternative options for your vacation.

Yes, you can! TourRadar provides a 0% interest instalment plan to help you budget for your trip. Choose to pay in instalments every two weeks or monthly. After you make your initial payment and your booking is confirmed, payments are split over time and automatically deducted from your designated payment method until the final payment due date. Note that even if you don't choose to pay in instalments, you can manually make payments to your booking whenever it suits you via your TourRadar Tour Management section. You can make these payments after you've made your initial payment and before your final payment due date.

TourRadar accepts your payment via credit card including Visa, Mastercard, Amex (American Express), Maestro as well as Paypal. We now also offer full financing through PayPal for US customers. You can always change your credit card details as needed by logging into your TourRadar account.

If your booking request does not offer instant confirmation, your initial payment at the time of booking is pre-authorised on your preferred method of payment. Only upon booking confirmation, the transaction will be processed and your payment is collected. In the rare case, your booking request cannot be confirmed, the pre-authorised funds are returned to your card. Please note in instances where a tour is 'On Request' this process may vary.
