Travel Insurance

It is a booking condition that all travellers have adequate and comprehensive travel insurance. Your guide will check for these details on day one of the tour and we may request them ahead of time so they are on the passenger list.

Should you require Travel Insurance please get a quote through the below company. They offer products aimed at the adventure travel market, although  not affiliated to Detour Africa - over the years we have found them to be a reliable and credible insurance company and are worldwide. Please always check that your policy includes cancellation insurance. A lot of our tours are booked months in advance so if anything happens on your side or on the ground in Africa you would be protected. Some clients do choose to use their credit card Insurance, it is strongly recommended that you check the fine print of this option and make sure you have sufficient cover in all respects.
