It is a condition of booking with INKOSI Destination Management Company that you have the correct comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover yourself, as well as any dependents/travelling companions for the duration of your trip to Africa. This is the sole responsibility of the traveler.

Compulsory insurance: emergency evacuation expenses, medical expenses, repatriation expenses. Recommended insurance: cancellation or curtailment of trip, damage/theft/loss of personal luggage, money and/or goods.

INKOSI Destination Management Company and its subsidiary companies, and any person or agent acting for, through or on behalf of said companies, will not take responsibility for any costs, losses incurred or suffered by the guest, or guests' dependents or travelling companions. Guests will be charged directly by the relevant service providers for any emergency services they may require.

It is compulsory to have full medical, emergency evacuation and repatriation cover for the full period of time that you are travelling.

If for any reason you cancel your trip, you could forfeit the entire cost. Should you have to leave prior to completion of your journey, we cannot refund you the cost of the portion of the package you do not complete.

Should INKOSI Destination Management Company be willing to do any refund, 10% of the amount paid to cover bank charges on the full amount as well as a R500 administration fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

It is advisable to take out luggage and money insurance especially if you are carrying a substantial amount of cash or expensive camera/electronic equipment. You should always carry such equipment as carry-on items as there is an inherent risk of items of value being stolen from checked-in luggage, or said luggage being delayed or lost.

If you anticipate an insurance claim upon your return, be sure to document as accurately as possible any accident, injury, or loss. Police reports and any notes from a medical practitioner will aid any claim.
