Travel Insurance for
your Tanzanian Safari

Setting off on a Tanzanian safari is exhilarating, but unexpected delays, medical emergencies, or lost luggage can quickly turn excitement into stress. Tanzania’s remote national parks and rugged terrains mean medical facilities are limited outside major cities like Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. 

• Medical expenses and emergency evacuation, including airlift from remote parks

• Adventure activities coverage for safaris, trekking Kilimanjaro, scuba diving, and walking tours

• Trip cancellation and interruption reimbursement for illness, weather disruptions, or flight delays

• Baggage loss, theft, and delayed luggage protection to replace essentials and cover new purchases

Not all policies are created equal. Compare plans from reputable insurers, paying special attention to:

• 24/7 emergency assistance hotline and global network support

• High cancellation and interruption limits—ideally covering 100% of your prepaid, non-refundable costs

• Explicit inclusion of high-risk activities like mountain climbing, safari walks, and water sports

• Coverage for personal liability, legal expenses, and repatriation

Your ideal policy will blend robust medical protection with flexible trip-cancellation terms and adventure-sports add-ons.
