Traveling in Africa contains inherent risks of illness, injury, death, or the loss and damage of property. These may occur while traveling in civilized or remote areas, while traveling by plane, car, boat, horseback, camel, foot or other conveyance. These risks may come from dangerous wild animals, insects, reptiles, the forces of nature, civil disturbances, riots, the negligence of others or acts of God.
Although every possible care is taken to safeguard you and your property while you are on safari, we accept no liability for any accidents, injuries or illness incurred or arising from any safari we outfit, or for any loss or damage to your property during such a safari.
While on safari we do not cover you by any insurance and we suggest that you make arrangements so that you and your property are fully insured for the duration of the safari.
We advise and encourage you to obtain the following types of insurance, which are commercially available:
* Accidental death or disability
