How we can help

While on our trip to Zimbabwe we took a "Walk with the Lions". At one point I stopped to pat a lion cub on the head when it reared its head and caught my wrist slashing it open. I was taking to by van to the local clinic and given 8 stitches.

How World Nomads helped
Our policies never cover putting yourself in needless risk, with the sole exception of attempting to save human life. We reviewed the claim and have found that by patting the cub you have put yourself in needless risk.
Claim denied.
