Travel insurance

---

It is vital to get comprehensive travel insurance to cover any trip you take, but especially a trip to Africa. 

We highly recommend getting your insurance as soon as you’ve booked your trip and that a cancellation clause is part of the policy.

As you will be riding every day, it’s crucial and a requirement that you have a policy that includes horse-riding, evacuation and repatriation.

Please note:
If you are riding with wildlife, you will need to check that your policy covers horse riding safaris specifically. (Not needed for beach riding)

• You can also chat to your own personal insurance/credit card insurance to see if you’re already covered. Please just read through the fine print.
• Please ensure that you’ve contacted your insurance company to find out what the procedure is should you need to claim during your trip. It is very important that we have all the correct emergency contact details. Most hospitals and air rescue will require upfront payment – ensure you have a credit card to cover such emergency costs.
• We give the above suggestions only- but it is the responsibility of the rider to check that your policy adequately covers the activities you will be doing.
• It is also advisable that your insurance covers unexpected losses or expenses e.g. lost luggage or cancelled/missed flights when travelling to Africa.
• Please check any exclusions and that your policy covers you for the type of ride you are doing and all the activities you want to undertake – you may not be allowed to ride without adequate travel insurance which is why we need this information in your booking form.
• Remember, some insurance policies specify that you must be wearing appropriate clothing and a riding helmet to be covered for horse riding – Please check with your insurance company that you will be covered if you choose not to wear one.
