Travel Source South Africa · How You Pay
Settling your booking
Two simple halves. The things that have to be secured — your rooms and your flights — are paid in full so nobody else can take them. Everything else can spread over instalments. No figure here is a charge; quoting is always free.
Account details are issued on your invoice and never published. When you are ready to transact, the secure payment portal carries card links and full transfer details.
The structure
Two halves, one booking
◆
Paid in full · upfront
Accommodation & flights
Hotels, lodges and air are settled in full at confirmation. Suppliers hold your rate and your allocation against cleared funds, so paying them in full is what secures the booking — and locks the price against later movement.
Account details are issued on your invoice, never published. International payers add the cross-border buffer set out below.
❖
Spread over instalmentsComing soon
Everything else — on Payflex
Tours, transfers, experiences and dining can be spread over Payflex instalments rather than paid at once. You sign up with Payflex and are approved by them; Payflex carries its own interest and fees, and any payment dispute is settled with Payflex under their terms.
Payflex is being onboarded now — the option goes live the moment the merchant account is approved. Until then these are settled with the rest of your booking.
Ways to pay
The rails we accept
Local and international, chosen so more of what you pay reaches your trip and less is lost to fees. The gateways marked coming soon are being onboarded now — everything else is live today, with details on your invoice and in the payment portal.

What to expect
From quote to confirmed
1A free quote first
Send your dates and budget — quoting is free and carries no obligation. Your quote itemises what is included, and any add-ons or upgrades are listed separately.
2Secure the essentials
Accommodation and flights are settled in full to lock your rates and allocations. The price stops moving the moment the funds clear.
3Spread the rest
The experiences around your trip can ride on Payflex instalments once that gateway is live, approved by Payflex under their own terms.
4Cleared & confirmed
Payments reconcile within 24 hours of clearance; international SWIFT transfers take 2–5 business days. If your bank offers the OUR charge code, select it so we receive the full amount without deductions.
The full, transactional detail — card links, Instant EFT and international transfer instructions — lives on the secure payment portal. Terms of every payment are set out in our Terms & Conditions.
About these prices
No figure on this page is a charge — it describes how a booking is settled, not what it costs. Your price is confirmed only when we build your quote.
- All rates are a guide and are subject to availability and confirmation at the time of your booking request. Seasonal rates move by month, so the figure for your dates is confirmed when we build your quote.
- International payments — add 4.5%. Payments made to Travel Source South Africa from outside South Africa should add 4.5% to cover bank and exchange charges. This is applied to the total of the full requirement, not to individual items, and it is excluded from every rate shown here.
- Quoting is free. Send us your dates and your budget on WhatsApp and we will match it, beat it, or build something tailored around it — there is no charge and no obligation for a quote.
