What is ABTA and how does it benefit you?
ABTA —the Association of British Travel Agents—has been the UK's leading travel trade body for more than 70 years. As an ABTA member (Y6147), Wild Wings Safaris UK Ltd adheres to strict standards, giving you unrivalled financial protection, expert support, and complete peace of mind when booking your African safari.
How ABTA Protects Your Money
- Financial Failure Insurance – Payments made to our UK bank account are covered, so you'll never lose money paid in advance.
- Package‑Holiday Protection – If a travel supplier collapses, ABTA ensures you receive a refund before travel or assistance to finish your trip if you're already abroad.

High Service Standards You Can Trust
All ABTA members sign a binding Code of Conduct that guarantees:
- Accurate advertising and transparent pricing.
- Fair trading and clear booking conditions.
- Prompt, impartial complaint resolution, including independent arbitration if required.
Expert Help When You Need It
ABTA works closely with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and global partners to provide:
- Up‑to‑date travel advice and crisis assistance.
- Immediate guidance if your plans are disrupted.
- A dedicated consumer team to resolve issues quickly and fairly.
Which Office Should You Book With?
Wild Wings Safaris operates from both the UK and South Africa. Each office offers the same expert service and tailor-made safari planning, but there are practical reasons why one office might be better suited to your needs:
Travellers based in the UK or Europe who prefer to pay in GBP and benefit from ABTA financial protection and UK consumer laws.
Travellers outside the UK who prefer to pay in ZAR or are already in Africa. Quotes come in local currency and benefit from SATSA bonding for financial protection.
Not sure which office is right for you? Your dedicated safari specialist will guide you based on your location, currency preference, and booking requirements—ensuring a seamless experience from the start.
