Covid-19 FAQ

Whilst there is still some uncertainty around the exact measures that will be necessary at each of our expedition locations due to Covid-19, we are fully committed to running every expedition. We’ll be in close contact with you in the months leading up to the expedition, and paying very close attention to the situation on the ground, including working with the most up to date advice on social distancing where appropriate.

It is vital that you take out appropriate travel insurance for your expedition, and we may request that our participants get a Covid-19 test prior to the start of your project. We’ll let you know if this is a requirement closer to the start point.

Our standard terms and conditions will apply, including the cancellation fees dependant on your start date. Please see section 4 of our terms and conditions for more details.

It is very unlikely that we will outright cancel an expedition, but if this is the case we will contact you as soon as possible and offer a free transfer to another start date or expedition country.

We will be setting out extensive additional health, safety and hygiene requirements within all of our expeditions this year. This will include, where possible, social distancing measures and isolation areas for those that are ill, or suspected of being ill. Closer to the expedition start dates we’ll be producing in-depth procedures and guidelines that you will be able to access and see.

If someone is diagnosed with Covid-19, we will act to contact both local and international health authorities, and your own insurer, and make sure to follow suitable advice. This may involve setting up areas for isolation within the expedition areas, but we will ensure that you have everything you need during that time.
