If you are planning a Safari whilst abroad, ensure you have the right Travel Insurance policy before your trip.

Safaris used to be nothing more than Hunting Excursions. Still, nowadays, the name has generally come to refer to overland trips to spot and often photograph Big Wildlife, such as Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes, Buffalo and Hyenas.

A safari is associated with travel in Africa. It usually involves driving through Nature Reserves on unpaved tracks, sometimes combined with wildlife-spotting hikes or Safari Trekking.

When getting Travel Insurance (Safari), you can also select one of the following: 

  • Safari (Not Tour Operator Organised) 
  • Horse Back Safari

Common Injuries

While hundreds of people enjoy safaris yearly, they are safe and fun activities for the family, and there are inherent risks.

  • Injuries or fatalities resulting from contact with dangerous or poisonous animals are infrequent, although they do occur.
  • Remember that the animals you encounter are wild and dangerous and thus unpredictable.
  • There have been cases of Elephants and other animals charging and causing injuries and fatalities as a result. However, these are rare and extremely unlikely to occur.
  • When on Safari, always listen to the instructions given by the Guide and follow them closely.
  • Keep your limbs inside your vehicle if you are in a car or jeep.
  • Do not do anything to antagonise the animals deliberately.
  • If, for some reason, you do find yourself at risk from the situation, listen to the Guide and follow instructions, try not to panic.
  • Wear closed shoes when going on a walking tour safari.
  • If you are camping or lodging in an area that may still have wild animals, always carry a torch if leaving your accommodations.
  • Also, if you are alone in the dark, always whistle. This will alert any animals in the area you are near and prevent you from surprising and scaring them.
  • You may also want to invest in a mosquito net.

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

If you have been on a Safari before and may have had an injury or accident while participating in a Safari, you must declare this when purchasing a policy.

We have several providers who can offer travel insurance, including Safari if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
