            TRAVEL INSURANCE<\/p>

            • For all
              our safaris, it is COMPULSORY to take out travel insurance covering for:
              cancellation and curtailment, medical situations, baggage, emergency
              evacuation.<\/li>
            • Okavango
              exploration\u00a0 Safaris does not provide
              travel insurance.<\/li>
            • Okavango
              exploration\u00a0 Safaris can assist you to
              sign up for the Okavango Air Rescue membership. The service provides medical
              evacuation from isolated areas of the bush by a medically equipped helicopter
              and emergency doctor, ensuring smooth and swift operations. International
              insurance companies are not always familiar with the practicalities of dealing
              with emergencies in the Botswana bush, which can add to delays in obtaining
              medical care. Although the OAR membership is not compulsory and does not
              replace an international medical insurance and evacuation (which remains
              compulsory with or without OAR membership), we highly recommend to sign up for
              the OAR membership which is only BWP175 \/ USD 17 \/ EUR 15.<\/li>
            • Please
              note that you will be required to provide your insurance details prior to your
              arrival so we can liaise with your insurance company in the shortest amount of
              time in case of an emergency. Required details include: medical evacuation
              insurer’s Name, medical evacuation policy number, 24-hour contact number of
              Medical evacuation insurer (must be able to phone it from Botswana – USA 800
              numbers don’t work from here).<\/li><\/ul>
