Terms of Service

These Terms govern use of Destination Botswana, an independent informational travel guide operated by The Travel Spark Company LLC. By using the website, you agree to use it responsibly and in accordance with these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

Independent information

This site is not a governmental agency or an official tourism authority. It does not own or operate the destinations, attractions, accommodation or experiences described unless a specific page expressly states otherwise. Editorial material helps readers compare interests and ask useful planning questions. It is not a substitute for current information from a destination manager, accommodation or activity provider.

Accuracy and changing conditions

We aim to provide useful, clear information and correct material errors brought to our attention. Conditions, access, facilities, services, prices and provider terms may change. Photographs show a particular place and moment; they do not promise current conditions, wildlife sightings, availability or an identical experience. Verify the details relevant to your own journey directly before travelling or booking.

General travel information cannot assess every reader’s needs. Obtain suitable professional or official advice where your circumstances require it. Follow the directions of responsible site staff and guides. You remain responsible for your travel decisions, documentation and arrangements.

Independent providers and bookings

Tour listings, search results and outbound links may be supplied by independent services, including through TravelSpark and Viator. Provider descriptions, availability, prices, ratings and terms belong to those services and may change. A listing does not constitute an endorsement, a guarantee or a contract with this editorial website.

When you leave this site to book, the contract is with the relevant provider or booking service. Review its identity, full inclusions, exclusions, payment conditions, cancellation policy and privacy information. Direct booking changes, refunds and service complaints to that provider. We cannot alter a third-party booking through this website’s contact form.

Affiliate relationships

Some links may be affiliate links. The website may receive a commission if you follow a qualifying link and complete a transaction. This does not establish ownership of a product or control over the provider’s availability, terms or performance. Editorial accommodation guidance is separate from any live inventory that may later be displayed.

Content and licenses

Text, design and original identity material are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights, subject to any license expressly provided. The theme code is distributed under its stated open-source license. Photographs and other third-party materials retain the individual licenses and attribution requirements identified in Photography credits and the packaged license notices. Do not assume that a website-wide license removes a photograph’s attribution obligations or grants rights in a depicted artwork, person or trademark.

You may link to public pages. Reuse of material must comply with the applicable rights and licenses and must not imply an endorsement or official relationship. Do not remove credits or misrepresent the origin of content.

Responsible use

Do not interfere with the website’s operation, attempt unauthorised access, bypass security controls, submit malicious material, or use contact features for spam or unlawful purposes. Provide only information you have the right to share. The site may restrict access to protect its services or respond to misuse.

Contact and availability

Contact features depend on their current configuration and may be unavailable. A submitted message does not create a booking, professional advisory relationship or promise of a response. We may change, remove or temporarily suspend website features or content. We do not promise uninterrupted operation or that the site will be suitable for every purpose.

Responsibility and applicable law

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its material are provided as available, without a guarantee of completeness or fitness for a particular journey. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where The Travel Spark Company LLC is organised, subject to any mandatory protections that apply to you.

Updates and questions

These Terms may be updated as the website changes. The published version applies to current use. For a correction, rights concern or question about the website, use the available route on the Contact page. Our Privacy Policy explains how information connected with the website is handled.
