The deposit is smaller than you think.

A deposit turns “I want to go” into “I’m going.” Here’s exactly how it works, what it covers, and what happens if your plans change.

How booking works

Your Ghana trip deposit — what it is, what it covers

A deposit is what turns “I want to go to Ghana” into “I’m going to Ghana.” It locks in your dates, your hotel, your package — while you sort out flights and the rest. Here’s exactly how it works.

🔒
What the deposit secures
Your confirmed hotel rooms, airport pickup, tour dates, and package allocation. Without a deposit, availability isn’t guaranteed — especially for Detty December.

💰
How much is the deposit?
Typically 25–30% of the package price. On a $1,475 all-inclusive package, that’s ~$370. Full balance is due before your travel date.

📋
What you receive
A booking confirmation with your itinerary, hotel names, and transfer details. You’re not paying into a void — you get a confirmed booking document.

📅
When to pay the balance
Balance is due 4–6 weeks before departure. We’ll remind you. No surprises, no last-minute scrambles.

Why book now vs later

What happens if you wait

The most common regret we hear: “I was going to book and then the dates sold out.” Here’s what actually happens when you delay:

TimelineWhat’s availableCost
6+ months outFull availability, all dates openBest pricing
3–6 months outMost packages availableStandard pricing
6–10 weeks outLimited availability, popular dates gonePremium pricing on remaining spots
Under 6 weeksDetty December and popular dates sold outRush premiums apply

Detty December 2026 specifically: the 8-day package has a limited number of slots. October is when it fills up. If you’re reading this before then, now is the right time.

Refund policy

What happens if your plans change?

Life happens. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair — not punitive. Full terms are shared before you pay any deposit. Key points:

📆
Cancellation 60+ days out
Deposit refundable minus any non-recoverable hotel hold fees. Most cases: full refund.

⚠️
Cancellation 30–60 days
Partial refund. Hotel commitments may be non-recoverable at this stage. We’ll advise on the specific amounts.

🔄
Date change
We always try to rebook rather than cancel. Moving dates is usually possible with advance notice — WhatsApp us to discuss.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pay the deposit?
WhatsApp our team to initiate a booking. We’ll send payment details and confirm your booking within 24 hours of receiving the deposit.
Is the deposit the same for all packages?
Typically 25–30% of the package price. For Detty December and group bookings, specific terms apply — ask us via WhatsApp.
Can I pay the full amount upfront?
Yes — many travelers prefer to pay in full and have everything confirmed. There’s no discount or surcharge either way.
What currency do you accept?
USD, GBP, and EUR via bank transfer or card. Local GHS payments available for Ghana-based bookings. Full payment details shared when you initiate a booking.
Do I need travel insurance?
Strongly recommended but not mandatory for booking. We can suggest providers. Insurance should cover trip cancellation, medical, and personal belongings at minimum.
