We ask every traveller to have their own travel insurance in place, but we're not an insurance provider and won't recommend a specific company - shop around and compare policies from providers who cover East African safaris specifically.
Many of the parks on this site are remote, hours from the nearest major hospital. Look specifically for a policy that includes emergency medical evacuation (often by light aircraft) - this is the cover that matters most on safari, more than standard trip-cancellation cover alone.
If your trip includes Mount Kenya or Kilimanjaro trekking, confirm your policy actually covers high-altitude trekking - some standard policies cap coverage at a lower altitude than these summits, or exclude mountaineering-adjacent activities entirely.
Cover for trip cancellation or curtailment, lost or delayed luggage (useful if checked bags don't make a tight connection), and pre-existing medical condition disclosure requirements, which vary by insurer.
Sooner rather than later - some cancellation-related benefits only apply if the policy is purchased within a certain window of your initial trip deposit, which varies by provider.
Send us your dates and we'll put together an itinerary and quote based on what you've just read.
