Insurance

It is essential that every traveller joining one of our trips has suitable and adequate adventure holiday insurance cover for the whole trip and we recommend it is in place at the time of booking. In fact, for the protection of our travellers, we make it a condition of booking that any traveller must have insurance cover that is appropriate for the activities of an adventure trip, covering as a minimum emergency medical, recovery and repatriation costs.

You may already have an annual travel insurance policy, and if so, you will need to make your insurer fully aware of the detailed trip itinerary and the activities you will be involved in to ensure your existing policy will cover you for your chosen trip. You are entirely responsible for the suitability of your own insurance cover, as we do not check alternative policies.

Should you require travel insurance, we have arranged a comprehensive insurance scheme, which is specifically tailored to the needs of our adventure trips, with Travel & General Insurance Company plc. Travel & General are acknowledged specialists in the field of travel insurance, and we believe this scheme will give you the insurance protection you need at a competitive price. Please note that the travel insurance is only available to residents of the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

EAST AFRICAN ADVENTURE is not an agent of Travel & General and your insurance contract is directly between you and Travel & General. Consequently, we do not provide any advice regarding travel insurance, and as responsibility for the suitability of insurance is yours, it is important you understand before you take out adventure holiday insurance cover what is and what is not covered by the policy and that it properly covers your participation in our trip. Please also be aware that you will be required to satisfy the health declaration for insurance purposes.

We set out below summary information for both Single Trip, or Annual Multi Trip policies.
