Travel insurance is strongly advised and you should arrange such in your country of origin. You should be covered in the event of cancellation or curtailment, death, any medical or rescue expenses, as well as for any loss of baggage, money or personal items. You may contact your office in this regard.
If any baggage/luggage gets lost, damaged or stolen, please get a police report to substantiate your claim once back at home. A full Travel Insurance package is recommendable. (SA Tours And Safaris with African Alternatives offer such packages.)
Clients - especially when on hikes must provide a medical kit. Any medication brought into South Africa on a prescription basis, must be accompanied by a Doctor's Certificate thereof. Clients on permanent medication must bring an additional 2 weeks supply of medication with the relevant Doctor's Certificate thereof. Clients having had previous heart problems or a bad condition that has occurred within the last two years must please check to see whether they are covered on their Travel Insurance should this condition occur whilst in South Africa. If wearing prescription glasses, bring a copy of the prescription along with you. Please advise if you wish for a quote from safarisAA with regards to travel insurance.
