The nitty gritty and more about insurance, rescue and recovery
We have full participant liability insurance for all our vehicles with ‘out in africa’ included. That means if we break down in the bush someone will come and fix the vehicle. If they can’t fix it, they will tow it to the nearest place where it can be fixed. In the meantime, we can hire a vehicle to carry on with our travels.
Even though we love to go to wild and remote places we look after our vehicles but for ‘just in case’ we do have a Sat. phone, huge first aid kit that we actually know how to use and a full recovery kit with tools.
