In Belgium, and particularly in Wallonia, civil liability insurance related to hunting is part of the essential steps to obtain or activate your hunting license. The Public Service of Wallonia indeed requires a certificate of insurance covering the civil liability of the hunter for the entire relevant hunting season.
But beyond this obligation, the needs of a hunter can vary greatly depending on their practice: driven hunting, stalking, hide hunting, hunting with dogs, use of specific equipment…
That’s why choosing insurance suitable for hunting is not simply about looking for "the cheapest insurance".
At The Hunter Camp, we have chosen to highlight Assurances Delatte, a broker that supports hunters and offers solutions designed for the realities of the field.
A partner close to the hunting world
At The Hunter Camp, we value partners who truly understand the world in which our clients operate. Because insurance for hunters should not be thought of as a general insurance to which the word "hunting" has simply been added.
Weapons, travel, dog, equipment, driven hunting or stalking... the situations encountered in the field can be very different. It is this knowledge of the realities of the hunting world that seems particularly interesting in the approach of Assurances Delatte.
Specialized insurance for hunting
Hunting requires specific insurance to practice this activity with peace of mind.
Delatte Insurance offers tailored solutions to cover in particular:
- liability related to hunting
- hunting accidents
- property damage
- certain guarantees specific to the hunting world
These coverages allow hunters to pursue their passion with protection suited to the realities of the field.Personalized support
Every hunter has their own practice. Rather than offering the same answer to everyone, the support allows for consideration of each person's situation and needs.
At Assurances Delatte, the approach is based in particular on :
- listening to the hunter's needs ;
- advice tailored to their practice ;
- a search for solutions that correspond to their situation ;
- long-term support.
Because good insurance is not just a guarantee written on a piece of paper. It is also knowing what is covered, why it is covered, and under what circumstances.

Valentin's opinion
As long as everything is fine, we don't think about it. But the day there is an accident, a problem with the equipment, or a situation we hadn't anticipated, it's really not the time to discover what your contract covers... or doesn't.
Take 10 minutes, pull out your contract, and see what is actually covered.
