FAQ
Yes, travel insurance is an important part of traveling and is mandatory for our travelers. We require travel insurance proof on the first day of the trip for further processing. No traveler is allowed to join the trip without the insurance.
A travel insurance should have cover against personal and financial accidents. It should cover medical expenses as well as emergency events, personal liabilities, and death. We require a travel insurance coverage minimum of £200,000. Moreover, we suggest your plan also includes cancellation of trips, luggage loss as well as personal damage.
It is in your best interest to have your travel insurance sorted before your trip. When choosing a plan you need to consider all the emergency problems, accident management, and personal losses. We also encourage you to have your policy number handy at all times as well as an emergency contact number that we can use in order to contact someone in case of a mishap. You should also ensure your personal contact details and any other necessary information is accessible to the insurance company as well as any details you may need to contact them in any emergencies. Mishaps can occur anytime and trip cancellations are one of them. We encourage you to choose a plan that has trip cancellation benefits as well. The insurance plan will then cover your trip if you need to cancel it due to unavoidable causes such as illness, injury, weather issues or other unforeseen events. You do need to know that insurance policies don’t cover trip cancellation if you simply change your mind.

We try to keep our group sizes small in order to cater to each individual separately. We work to make this trip amazing for every individual and this is best achieved if we take small groups and give each person our maximum attention. A small group means we can deliver excellent dynamics of the group and set real friendships. We tend to limit our group down to 8-14 people. We usually tend to stick with 8 people. However, on Overland trips assisted with purpose-built vehicles, we do often take 16 travellers with us for a memorable experience. We also display the group size on the trip’s page.
We choose leaders based on their expertise and their ability to keep the group together. Our leaders have roamed the area for years and are no stranger to the dialect or the terrains of the region.
