Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Global Rescue?

This looks good. Perhaps it is, I do not know. However, I do know that the devil is in the details.

You are hunting at a camp near a grass runway, 1.5hrs flight in a bush plane away from Beira. You have a compound fracture of your leg. You can't sit in the bush plane and it's 5-8hrs by truck on unimproved roads to a paved runway. What do you do? Will a medical team come pick you up? Will they return you to the US for surgery or are you sent to a hospital of their choice in Jo'berg once you figure a way out of the bush.

After asking a lot of questions, I discovered some travel insurance will come get you, most will not. Take nothing for granted, do your homework.

I had Global Rescue in addition to the policy described above. GR will come and dig you out of the bush, get you to a medical facility and then get you home. The above policy was to be used for hospital/Dr. bills, trip cancellation etc.

I also used travel guard as it was the best bang for the buck. I had not heard of them before but they were HIGHLY recommended by Steve Turner at TRAVEL WITH GUNS. He is a real pro for african travel assistance and if he recomends it you will be happy. Good luck on your adventure!

I used travel guard for one of my Africa trips. I lost $5000 as it did not pay for my airline tickets when the hunt was cancelled due to lack of a permit. Good Luck
I used a very well known travel agent that caters to hunters and service was very lacking upon filing a claim from both the agent and travel guard,

Sorry to here about your bad experience. Lets here the details about your situation and the name of the travel agent. No reason to keep anything a secret, we're all here to protect one another.
