the order of the places to be visited.
5. Insurance
Travel insurance is mandatory for all Clients whilst on a tour organised by
the Company. Clients together with their personal property including baggage
are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients are wholly responsible for
arranging their own insurance. A suitable insurance policy should provide adequate
cover for medical expenses arising through illness or accident prior to or during
the holiday and loss of holiday monies through cancellation or curtailment of
the holiday for insurable reasons. The local vehicle insurance includes only
limited passenger accident liability or none at all. Clients making their own
insurance arrangements should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting
protection for the type of activities in their tour. Proof of adequate insurance
will be requested at the start of your tour, failure to provide this will result
in the Client being prevented from joining the tour.
6. Passports, Visas and Vaccinations
It is the responsibility of the Client to be in possession of a valid passport,
visa permits, vaccinations and preventative medicines as may be required for
the duration of the tour. Information about these matters or related items is
given in good faith in the tour dossier but without responsibility on the part
of the Company.
7. Age, Fitness and Participation
All Clients are expected to satisfy themselves prior to booking that they are
fit and able to complete the itinerary of their chosen tour as described in
the tour dossier. Clients are also expected to accept that the tours described
are Adventure Holidays and that travel to and facilities in developing countries
will not be to similar standards which they may be accustomed to at home, we
do not provide luxury holidays. Persons over 60 years of age may be asked to
provide medical evidence of fitness to travel on certain itineraries. No unaccompanied
minors (those under 18 years of age) can be accepted on tours operated by the
Company. However teenagers may be considered provided they are accompanied by
a parent or guardian who accepts full responsibility for them. The Company reserves
the absolute right to decline a booking at their discretion. Clients agree to
accept the authority and decisions of the Companies employees, tour leaders,
and agents whilst on tour with the Company. If in the opinion of such person
the health or conduct of a Client before or after departure appears likely to
endanger the safe, comfortable or happy progress of a tour the Client may be
excluded from all or part of the tour. In the case of ill health the Company
may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs from the Client.

of their own free will or leaves the tour due to ill health or any other reason

physical or medical condition must declare the true nature of such condition
