Insurance and Risks: The hazards of traveling during holidays organized by Travel Wild may inevitably give rise to some risks and dangers including, inter alia, those inherent in travel by boat, train, road, vehicles, aircraft or other means, the forces of nature, dangerous or hazardous sporting activities such as white water rafting, balloon safaris, trekking etc. or political unrest and accident or illness in regions without medical facilities. In certain cases these risks and dangers may lead to death, injury, delay, loss, damage or change in itinerary and Travel Wild expressly excludes liability for any of these consequences which do not arise out of the negligence of Travel Wild. Travel Wild will not undertake to arrange medical care. You are therefore strongly advised to take out insurance against such risks in an adequate sum and manner. Before undertaking any dangerous sport or activity you will be required to sign a form of consent and exclusion of liability by Travel Wild or its agents, employees or suppliers. Failure to sign such a form will result in your not taking part in the relevant activity in which event you will not be refunded any payment that you have already made for such an activity.
Special Requests: Any special requests (e.g. for single room or a special diet) must be notified in writing when the booking is made. Whilst Travel Wild will endeavor to meet such requests, they cannot be guaranteed and any failure to comply will not be a breach of contract.
