Policy Information
Trip Insurance / Travel Protection Plan
We strongly encourage all of our clients to purchase trip cancellation insurance. These trips can be quite active, and consequently can lead to unexpected injuries. Another factor to consider is that your travel plans could potentially be affected by unexpected illness or injury to yourself, a friend or family member.
We offer an optional travel protection plan through Travelex Insurance Services, a reputable travel insurance company. The base plan covers such benefits as trip cancellation or interruption, accidental and sickness medical expenses, medical evacuation and repatriation, baggage delay and travel assistance services. Additional flight insurance and rental vehicle coverage is optional. The price is based on the insured's age and the total trip cost per person. We include a brochure describing the travel protection policy in detail with your booking confirmation packet. In order to cover pre-existing medical conditions, the protection plan must be purchased within 21 days of paying the initial deposit.
We are sorry to say this insurance coverage is only effective for people residing in the United States.
If you have questions about Travelex's protection plan, please feel free to contact their customer service hotline at 1.800.228.9792 or visit www.travelex-insurance.com (this link will open a new window). Be sure to refer to our 50-0031 location number.
Responsibility of Trip Participants
Trip participants have a certain responsibility to Faraway Safaris and to the other members of the group. Participants are responsible for understanding the requirements of the trip, and for selecting a trip -- with the assistance of a Faraway consultant -- appropriate to their interest and ability. Participants with medical problems or special dietary needs are responsible for informing Faraway Safaris of these issues well in advance. For the protection of all participants, the trip leader reserves the right to prevent anyone from participating who displays insufficient ability, or whose behavior endangers the safety of other members of the group or themselves. No refund will be made to a participant who is rejected for any such reason, or who is unwilling or unable to complete a tour.
Participants are responsible for arranging travel to and from the trips meeting point, for carrying valid travel documents, and for obtaining immunizations appropriate to the destination. Participants are required to have adequate health and accident insurance which is current and includes international coverage for riding and other sporting activities. Participants are responsible for understanding what is and is not included in the price as outlined in the detailed trip itineraries.
Anyone who does not want pictures of themselves to be used in promotional materials should notify Faraway Safaris accordingly.
Limitations of Liability
Faraway Safaris is not responsible for airline accidents or delays, loss of luggage, or medical and customs regulations. If a trip is canceled at any time for a reason beyond Faraways' control, we will refund only the amount the participant has paid to Faraway. Faraway supports our outfitters' judgment to alter a trip itinerary due to unforeseeable circumstances.
Frequent Traveler Discount
Most of our clients are repeat customers. We recognize this loyalty by offering a 10% discount on every 5th trip taken within 6 years. (Can be any combination of Equitours and Faraway Safaris)
