Safari Travel Insurance
Planning a safari is exciting, but it often involves high pre-paid trip costs, remote destinations, connecting flights, medical considerations, and weather-related itinerary changes. Safari travel insurance coverage can help protect your investment and supports you when the unexpected disrupts your trip. Whether you are traveling to Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, or another safari destination, the right travel protection plan can help cover trip cancellations, trip interruptions, emergency medical situations, baggage issues, and travel delays.
Why Safari Travel Insurance Can Matter
Safari trips are different from standard vacations. Many itineraries include:
- Nonrefundable tour deposits
- Multiple flights and bush-plane connections
- Lodges or camps in remote areas
- Guided game drives and scheduled excursions
- Destination-specific health and entry requirements
- Limited access to nearby medical care
Because safari travel can involve higher costs and more logistics than a typical trip, travel protection can be especially valuable. An extensive safari travel protection plan can help you travel with more confidence when plans change before departure or while you are abroad.
Core Coverage Benefits for Safaris*
Trip Cancellation and Interruption Coverage
Can reimburse prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs if you need to cancel for a covered reason before departure, and can help reimburse unused trip costs and additional transportation expenses if your safari is cut short for a covered reason after your trip begins.
Travel Delay Coverage
Can help with eligible meals, lodging, and local transportation expenses if covered travel delays affect your itinerary.
Medical Expense Coverage
Can help pay for covered medical expenses if you get sick or injured during your trip.
Emergency Medical Evacuation** Coverage

Can reimburse the cost of essential items if your bags are delayed en route to your safari destination.
