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.
