Third Party Services

These online resources are independently owned and operated by third party providers and are not under our control. Sundowner Safaris may provide access to these resources as a service to you, and is not responsible for their operation, content, information practices or any link contained in a linked site. These resources often gather personally identifiable information and financial information from you to complete your booking requests. And our service may include providing some of your Personal Information to the third party provider to help streamline the booking process.
Third Party Privacy Policies
Vendors, suppliers of travel services, host travel agencies, other travel intermediaries, and other third parties with whom we share your Personal Information may have their own privacy policies accessible which may be on their own websites. We strongly encourage you to review those privacy notices. Sundowner Safaris’ Privacy Policy does not apply to these vendors, suppliers of travel services, host travel agencies and other travel intermediaries, and other third parties, as their policies may differ from our Privacy Policy.
