Participation Agreement

I have carefully read the terms and conditions stated in this Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”). In consideration for the right to participate in the karibu adventures itinerary (the “Program), I agree as follows. In this Agreement, karibu adventures includes karibu adventures Inc. and all its officers, directors, agents, employees, contractors, guides and contract personnel.

STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING

Although karibu adventures has made reasonable efforts to assure my safety while participating in the Program and activities offered as a part of the Program, I understand that there are certain risks, dangers, and hazards that are inherent to participation in the Program. These include, but are not limited to, physical and mental fatigue; slips, falls, and collisions; encounters with wild animals and varied terrain; altitude-related illness; changing weather conditions; acts or omissions of the public or other Program participants; accident or illness in remote areas without the possibility of immediate evacuation or availability of medical supplies or facilities; and accidents occurring during travel associated with the Program. Encountering these risks, dangers, and hazards could result in physical injuries, death or damage to personal property (collectively, “Injury”). I understand and acknowledge that it is impossible for karibu adventures to list in this Agreement every inherent risk, danger, or hazard associated with participating in the Program. I understand and appreciate, however, that I may encounter these, and other inherent risks, dangers, and hazards not specifically listed in this Agreement at any time during the Program. I also understand that the Program may include free time without an activity scheduled as part of the Program (“Free Time”). All activities not included in the Program in Free Time (including when I choose not to participate in any portion of the Program) are undertaken solely at my own risk and karibu adventures is not liable or responsible for any Injury I may suffer related thereto.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I accept and assume all of the risks, dangers, and hazards associated with participating in the Program, whether known or unknown, including those specifically identified above and any Injury. I am voluntarily participating in the Program with knowledge of the dangers involved. I therefore release and discharge karibu adventures from liability for Injury, and any of the consequences thereof, arising from my participation in the Program. I enter into this release of liability on behalf of myself, and those members of my party who are under 18. I certify that I am the parent or guardian of any such minors.

COVID-19

As a traveler during the COVID-19 Pandemic, I am aware that COVID-19 is a deadly and highly transmissible disease, and that its associated virus is transmitted primarily through personal contact. I am further aware that I could be an unwitting carrier of the disease and transmit it to others in my vicinity, even if precautions are taken. I agree to follow all COVID-19 health and safety protocols and policies implemented by karibu adventures, at all times during my travels, including karibu adventures policies related to the COVID-19 vaccine and testing, as well as the applicable protocols, policies, laws, rules, regulations and mandates promulgated by any local or national jurisdiction that I will travel to as part of the Program.

I hereby acknowledge and accept the risk posed to my person and to third parties associated with travelling during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, and I waive any claim I may have against karibu adventures and release karibu adventures from any and all claims that may vest in myself or my estate, and which arise out of my travel with karibu adventures, in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, my infection or transmission of the disease. I waive any claim or defense I may otherwise have related to any harm or damages caused by, related to, or arising out of the provision of true or false information related to my vaccination or testing status, and shall indemnify and hereby release karibu adventures, from any and all claims that may arise out of the same. I waive any claim or defense I may otherwise have related to any harm or damages caused by, related to, or arising out of applicable COVID-19 health and safety policies, protocols, laws, rules, regulations and mandates promulgated by karibu adventures, any local or national government, or any third party vendor in association with karibu adventures, and shall indemnify and hereby release karibu adventures from any and all claims that may arise out of the same.

I acknowledge that rates of COVID-19 infection may be higher, and rates of vaccination may be lower at the locations of my Program than in my home state or country, and that the sophistication and availability of therapies, medical practitioners and hospital beds for treatment of COVID-19 may be significantly impaired, and that laws, regulations, customs and policies related to COVID-19 in the destinations and premises where I will travel on Program may be different than in my home country or state.
