Africa Travel Insurance: What Coverage Do You Need On Safari?
Before setting out on your travels, it is essential to consider purchasing comprehensive travel insurance for Africa. Take time and search for the best one. If nothing else, purchase it solely for emergency medical reasons that may arise, covering the cost of medical evacuations from the country. Many packages also offer extended services to baggage, flight departure, and other travel related issues that may arise. Take a look at the activities you may be considering while along your safari, whether it is trekking, skydiving, or quad-biking, the risk of these activities may prove to be the reason to purchase Africa travel insurance. Many policies come with emergency numbers, make sure to keep this number accessible and make several copies.
There was a time I had purchased my flight to Namibia with connections from London, Jo'burg, to Windhoek. I was scheduled for Air Namibia from London, and Air Namibia decided they no longer were flying this route. If I hadn't purchased travel insurance I would have been out nearly US$2,000 with nothing I could do, a reason to consider purchasing a well comprehensive package.
Often Africa travel insurance packages will not cover petty thefts but it is worth your time to make a police report. Remember to keep the police report and case number for future reference to insurance claims. Insure valuables named for travel under your home contents insurance. Many times what you claim can be replaced cheaper by simply purchasing a new item. Buy comprehensive travel insurance as soon as possible to ensure all your needs are in place before you embark on your journey.
