Why is there a 4% Charge?
A 4% bank surcharge is applied to credit card transactions. This fee is imposed by the bank, not by Primate Safaris.
Why Use a Credit Card?
Paying by credit card is the quickest and easiest way to make payments. It allows us to receive immediate approval, enabling us to confirm your reservations swiftly.
How Do I Know if My Credit Card Payment is Successful?
After entering your card details on our secure site, you will see an approval notice and receive an online receipt. Please print the receipt for your records and send us a copy to confirm your reservation.
What if My Credit Card Transaction Fails?
If your transaction fails, you may need to contact your bank to authorize payments to Tanzania. Banks often place holds on foreign transactions to protect against fraud.
