WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Safari is supposed to start on 29th August, trip got cancelled today. What is happening? What is there to be done? What are all of you doing now? How and where to apply for a refund and how can we make complaints at the police?
Shame and horrible treatment of tourists.

Diappointed and feel robbed
The company took money and disappeared. I booked in July, they should not take my booking if they had troubles, I should arrive on September 6. I was in contact with them about visum just last week, today got message that they got troubles. Terrible. I don not know if I got my money back. I see that there are many others in the same situation.
I do not know what to do.

How do you get a refund
Just received an email from the company saying that the tour won’t be operation , they asked for my bank detail in order to process the refund of my deposit, but I have a bad feeling that it might not happen and I worry that I’ll have to unfortunately face the financial loss. Does anyone here who is in the same situation have any suggestions what to do to get my deposit back ?! It’s a large amount of money that me and my family worked hard for, I can’t actually believe this is happening..

Money fraud. Ruined trip. Pay the hardworking drivers at least or you aren't humans!
I've just known that the company seemed to get bankrupt more than a week ago. I wish they had told me earlier about that instead of keeping silence which is what cowards do. After we made a payment (1600 USD which is like 1.5 of my monthly salary) there has been a silence to my e-mails regarding the receipt and other questions. I called and they sent me the receipt but the silence continued until August 7 when I knew that they had stopped all their services. I see there are dozens of tourists who face same situation. Some of them had to face it straight at their arrival when they found out there were no one to pick them up and they couldn't reach anyone. I appeared to be luckier but as everyone else I lost my money and trust in more humans. I understand that everyone has to survive in this rigged monetary system but if you do so at the expense of others you aren't a decent human being. It's not the loss of money of that importance but it's the loss of trust. So Mr.O, if you read this message, please at least have decency to pay off your former employees.

DO NOT BOOK!!!
This “tour operator” is a scam artist. I booked a tour months in advance. And now 20 days before my tour is set to begin, I receive this email:
“Thank you very much for your email. Please this is notify you that the company has technical problems and therefore cannot give the required services”
My flights have already been booked, but I have no tour. I paid over $5000 USD, and now I have to somehow get my money back.

Received an email they have technical problem and won't do the tour that I already paid
We paid in March for a safari on Aug 22. Today I received an email from the company that they have technical problem and won't provide the service. In other words won't provide the tour. We have already bought non-refundable air tickets from USA costing over $2000. I replied to the person, Julius muchiri, who emailed me from Kenya Walking safari company but I haven't received any reply yet. I always had the fear of booking with small individually owned compnies in a foreign country. I won't give up. Will do everything I can to let all African authorities know what happened and seek compensation.
