Terms & Conditions / Website Terms of Use

Edrisa Tours
Effective Date: September 5, 2026
Last Updated: September 5, 2026

​

​

1. Introduction

Welcome to the website of Edrisa Tours ("Edrisa Tours," "we," "us," or "our").

Edrisa Tours is a privately operated tour-guide business based in The Gambia, West Africa.

These Terms & Conditions / Website Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Edrisa Tours website and its informational content.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the website.

These Terms apply specifically to the website and its use. A separate agreement may apply to any tour or travel service that you subsequently arrange with Edrisa Tours.

​

2. Purpose of the Website

The Edrisa Tours website is primarily a promotional and informational website.

Its purpose is to:

  • introduce visitors to Edrisa Tours;

  • showcase the Tour Guide's knowledge and experience;

  • describe available tours, excursions, destinations, and activities;

  • provide general information about visiting The Gambia;

  • display photographs, descriptions, recommendations, and other promotional material; and

  • allow visitors to contact Edrisa Tours regarding potential tours or bookings.

The website is not an online travel agency, online marketplace, or payment-processing platform.

The website does not currently provide an automated checkout or instant-booking service.

​

3. No Automatic Booking

Submitting an inquiry through the Edrisa Tours website does not automatically create a booking, reservation, contract, or obligation for Edrisa Tours to provide a tour.

A visitor's inquiry is simply a request to communicate about a potential tour.

A tour becomes confirmed only after Edrisa Tours and the visitor have separately communicated and agreed upon the relevant arrangements.

Those arrangements may include, as applicable:

  • date;

  • duration;

  • itinerary;

  • number of participants;

  • meeting arrangements;

  • transportation arrangements;

  • tour price;

  • payment arrangements;

  • cancellation arrangements;

  • special requirements; and

  • other relevant terms.

Edrisa Tours reserves the right to decline a tour request or propose alternative arrangements.

​

4. Tour Availability

Information about tours, excursions, destinations, prices, schedules, itineraries, transportation, activities, and availability displayed on the website is provided for general informational purposes.

Availability may change.

A tour, activity, itinerary, price, vehicle, guide, attraction, restaurant, accommodation, or other service described on the website may not always be available at the time a visitor makes an inquiry.

Edrisa Tours will confirm relevant arrangements directly with the visitor before a tour is finalized.

​

5. Prices and Pricing Information

Where prices are displayed on the website, they are provided for general informational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

Prices may change because of factors including:

  • season;

  • number of participants;

  • requested itinerary;

  • duration;

  • transportation requirements;

  • fuel or transportation costs;

  • entrance fees;

  • government or attraction charges;

  • changes in supplier costs; or

  • other circumstances affecting the cost of providing a tour.

The final price applicable to a particular tour will be communicated and agreed upon before the tour is confirmed.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a website price should not be interpreted as a guaranteed quotation or binding offer.

​

6. Payment

The Edrisa Tours website does not currently process online payments.

Visitors are not required to enter credit-card, debit-card, bank-account, or cryptocurrency information into the website.

If Edrisa Tours and a visitor agree to a tour, payment arrangements may be communicated and agreed separately.

Any applicable payment terms, deposit requirements, payment deadlines, accepted payment methods, currency, or other financial arrangements will be communicated to the visitor before or during confirmation of the relevant tour.

Visitors should not send payment information through a general website contact form.

​

7. Tour Agreements

Once a tour has been specifically discussed and accepted by both Edrisa Tours and the visitor, the parties may have a separate agreement concerning the tour.

That agreement may consist of written communications, an itinerary, a quotation, confirmation message, invoice, receipt, or other written arrangement.

Where there is a conflict between these website Terms and a specific written tour agreement, the specific tour agreement will govern the particular tour to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These website Terms do not replace any specific terms that may be agreed for an individual tour.

​

8. Changes to Tours and Itineraries

Tour itineraries may sometimes need to be modified because of circumstances beyond Edrisa Tours' reasonable control.

Examples may include:

  • weather conditions;

  • road conditions;

  • traffic;

  • government restrictions;

  • public events;

  • attraction closures;

  • changes to opening hours;

  • transportation problems;

  • illness or emergency;

  • safety considerations;

  • natural events; or

  • other circumstances affecting the practical or safe operation of a tour.

Where reasonably possible, Edrisa Tours will communicate material changes and seek to provide a reasonable alternative.

Safety and practical considerations may require an itinerary to be changed without advance notice.

​

9. Visitor Responsibilities

Visitors are responsible for:

  • providing accurate information concerning their inquiry;

  • arriving at agreed meeting points on time;

  • following reasonable instructions given for safety;

  • complying with applicable laws and regulations;

  • behaving respectfully toward local communities, guides, drivers, businesses, wildlife, and other visitors;

  • informing Edrisa Tours in advance of relevant mobility, dietary, medical, or other requirements where such information is necessary for reasonable planning; and

  • ensuring that they possess appropriate travel documentation and permissions for their trip.

Visitors are responsible for their own passports, visas, travel documents, vaccinations or health precautions, travel insurance, and other personal travel requirements unless Edrisa Tours expressly agrees otherwise.

​

10. Travel Documents and Entry Requirements

Visitors traveling to The Gambia are responsible for determining and obtaining the travel documents and permissions applicable to their circumstances.

This may include:

  • passports;

  • visas;

  • immigration documentation;

  • entry permissions;

  • onward-travel documentation;

  • travel insurance; and

  • other documents required by relevant authorities.

Edrisa Tours may provide general tourism information but does not guarantee that any visitor will be admitted into The Gambia or any other country.

Visitors should obtain current requirements from the appropriate governmental or official sources before traveling.

​

11. Personal Belongings

Visitors are responsible for their personal belongings during tours and while using the website or communicating with Edrisa Tours.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Edrisa Tours is not responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of personal property belonging to a visitor.

Visitors should take reasonable precautions with passports, money, electronics, cameras, luggage, jewelry, and other valuables.

​

12. Health, Fitness, and Activities

Certain tours or activities may involve walking, driving, boating, swimming, outdoor conditions, uneven terrain, heat, wildlife, or other physical or environmental conditions.

Visitors are responsible for considering whether a particular activity is appropriate for their individual circumstances.

Visitors should inform Edrisa Tours before a tour of any relevant limitation or requirement that may reasonably affect the safety or suitability of the planned activity.

Edrisa Tours may recommend an alternative activity or decline to provide an activity where there is a reasonable safety concern.

Nothing on the website constitutes medical, professional, or emergency advice.

​

13. Wildlife and Natural Environments

Some tours may involve wildlife, beaches, waterways, forests, parks, or other natural environments.

Wild animals and natural environments can involve inherent risks.

Visitors must follow reasonable safety instructions and applicable rules at parks, reserves, beaches, waterways, and other locations.

Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Edrisa Tours does not guarantee that a particular animal, bird, plant, or natural event will be observed during a tour.

​

14. Transportation

Where transportation is included or arranged as part of a tour, the type of transportation may depend on availability and the agreed tour arrangements.

Transportation may be provided directly by Edrisa Tours or by an independent transportation provider, where applicable.

Reasonable changes may be necessary because of traffic, vehicle availability, weather, road conditions, mechanical problems, or other circumstances.

Visitors are expected to comply with reasonable safety instructions while using transportation.

​

15. Website Content

We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information on the website.

However, tourism information can change.

Information relating to attractions, opening hours, prices, roads, transportation, local conditions, businesses, events, destinations, and other matters may change without notice.

Accordingly, website information is provided on an "as available" and informational basis.

Edrisa Tours does not guarantee that every item of website information will always be complete, current, accurate, or error-free.

Where a visitor is relying on information for a particular trip, we encourage the visitor to confirm important details with Edrisa Tours or the relevant official provider before traveling.

​

16. Photographs and Images

Photographs displayed on the Edrisa Tours website are intended to provide visitors with an impression of destinations, experiences, scenery, activities, and services.

Photographs may not always represent the precise conditions, weather, season, vehicle, location, equipment, or experience that a visitor will encounter.

Some photographs may be illustrative or may have been taken at an earlier date.

We do not guarantee that every photograph represents the exact experience available on a particular tour date.

​

​

26. New Jersey Residents and Applicable Law

Edrisa Tours is a privately operated business based in The Gambia and is not a New Jersey business.

The website may nevertheless be accessible to visitors located in New Jersey and elsewhere.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive, exclude, or improperly restrict rights that cannot lawfully be waived or restricted under applicable law.

Where applicable, New Jersey consumers may have statutory rights under New Jersey law, including applicable provisions of the New Jersey Data Privacy Act.

The mere accessibility of this website to a New Jersey resident does not, by itself, mean that every provision of New Jersey law applies to Edrisa Tours.

27. Governing Law

​

To the extent permitted by applicable law, these website Terms will be governed by the laws applicable in The Gambia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require the application of another jurisdiction's laws.

However, nothing in this provision is intended to deprive a consumer of mandatory rights or protections that apply to that consumer under the law of a jurisdiction that cannot legally be excluded.

Any specific tour agreement may contain additional provisions concerning applicable law, dispute resolution, or jurisdiction.

​

28. Dispute Resolution

Edrisa Tours encourages visitors to contact us first so that concerns can be discussed and, where reasonably possible, resolved informally.

Questions or concerns relating to these Terms or the website may be sent to:

Edrisa Tours
Email: helloedrisatours@gmail.com

Nothing in this section prevents a person from exercising a legal right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

Changes may be made to reflect:

  • changes to the website;

  • changes to our services;

  • changes to booking procedures;

  • changes to applicable law;

  • new website features; or

When these Terms are updated, the Last Updated date at the beginning of the document will be changed.

Your continued use of the website following publication of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

​

30. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally possible.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.

​

31. No Waiver

If Edrisa Tours does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that Edrisa Tours has permanently waived the right to enforce that provision later.

​

32. Entire Website Terms

These Terms, together with the Edrisa Tours Privacy Policy and any other notices specifically incorporated into the website, constitute the general terms governing use of the Edrisa Tours website.

Specific tour arrangements may be subject to additional terms agreed between Edrisa Tours and the visitor.
