What is Safari Travel Insurance?
Our Safari Travel Insurance is designed to protect you against the financial implications should you get injured or have an accident whilst taking part in an organised safari tour abroad.
A wildlife safari is an extreme outdoor activity which carries unpredictable risks. Choosing the right Safari Insurance plan to cover you against accrued expenses in the face of potential misfortune would be a wise option.
Our Sports Travel Insurance comes with three levels of cover and includes a long list of benefits such as emergency medical assistance, trip cancellation and curtailment, equipment cover and more.
We also provide a policy for people going on a safari trip in the UK, which is our Sports Accident Insurance. It includes personal accident cover as standard, as well as personal liability protection.
Why do you need Safari Travel Insurance?
Despite the fact that an organised safari tour is generally considered a safe activity, it does place its participants in certain unique circumstances that may subject them to accident or injury.
A jungle safari is an extreme outdoor activity which may also involve sightseeing and hiking.
It’s a guided trip through the wilderness where you can encounter extraordinary animals and plants, but it could also expose you to certain risks such as sudden animal attacks or insect bites.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that adequate insurance is taken out to cover potential costly expenses as a result of injuries whilst on a wildlife safari.
