Side by Side Safaris acquires defibrillators for maximum safety for our guests

In order to safeguard our guests against possible heart attack while on safari with us, we have recently acquired two defibrillators (also known as heart starters or AEDs). The defibrillators will normally be placed at our safari lodge, but can also be brought along on hunts if so required. Our staff members are trained in the use of the defibrillators. We also have a 24-hour telephone hotline to an experienced Danish medical doctor. Jointly this means maximum safety for our guests if problems should arise. In case of serious injury or life threatening illness we have an arrangement with a helicopter service that will pick up patients direct from the lodge and turn them over to the hospital in Port Elizabeth.
