BARDZO WAŻNE! Niezbędne jest ubezpieczenie we własnym zakresie albo za dodatkową opłatą za moim pośrednictwem. Bez ubezpieczenia – nie otrzymacie Państwo ode mnie potwierdzenia rezerwacji. Afryka należy do regionów ‘trudnych’ zatem wszystko może okazać się problematyczne: otarcie, zwichnięta kostka albo przedłużające się problemy żołądkowe. Jeśli macie zaufanego doradcę ubezpieczeniowego – ubezpieczcie się sami. Jeśli nie - proponuję zapytać mnie a ja wybiorę odpowiednie.
