MEDICAL ISSUES:
South Africa has excellent health services and doctors with some of the best training in the world. There are adequate hospitals and medical care facilities throughout the country. In rural areas however, the distance to such adequate facilities can be far. Similarly, the cost of world class private medical treatment is high. As such visitors should ensure that they have sufficient medical insurance to cover any medical emergency situation should the need arise.

Malaria is found only in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga and Limpopo and on the Maputaland coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Malaria is at low risk in the winter months and is not prominent in Cape Town. It is only possible to contract malaria by being bitten by an infected mosquito – however, when visiting these areas it is advisable to take the necessary safety and medical precautions. Use mosquito nets and an insect repellent to avoid being bitten. In addition, medication can be taken and should be taken according to the instructions given.

Bike and Hike can advice on medical issues once a booking is made, but we advise consulting with your doctor or travel clinic

beforehand It is important that Bike and Hike is made aware of any prior medical conditions amongst any of the travelling group members, upon booking of the tour. Once bookings are made it is not possible to make substitute arrangements if this information is not forthcoming at the time of confirmation.

INSURANCE:
Because of the active nature of the tours, comprehensive travel insurance is obligatory for all guests. It is the guest’s

responsibility to ensure they have the right policy and paperwork. The insurance must include the cost of repatriation and helicopter rescue if the client becomes too ill to continue. We reserve the right to cancel bookings at any time if we are not satisfied that adequate insurance is in place for participants. Guests will be liable to reimburse Bike and Hike for any money paid by us on their behalf for emergency medical transportation, repatriation, doctor and hospital costs and any other expenses related to illness if they become too ill or injured to continue on the trip.
