Travel Tips: Insurance & Safety

To ensure your safety and peace of mind during your trip to Tanzania, we strongly recommend that every traveler purchase comprehensive travel insurance before starting their journey.

Tanzania’s adventure activities — wildlife safaris, Kilimanjaro trekking, cultural tours, and beach excursions — can involve remote areas where medical facilities are limited.

Travel insurance protects you in case of:

• Medical emergencies
• Hospitalization or treatment
• Emergency evacuation
• Trip delays or cancellations
• Lost or delayed luggage
• Theft or loss of valuables
• Adventure-related injuries

Recommended Travel Insurance Provider

For reliable, affordable, and traveler-friendly coverage, we advise our guests to purchase their insurance through:

👉 Volunteer Card – Travel Insurance

Volunteer Card offers excellent coverage for volunteers, tourists, students, and adventure travelers visiting East Africa.

What Your Policy Should Include

Before traveling, ensure your insurance covers:

• Emergency medical care
• Air evacuation & repatriation (important for safari and mountain travel)
• Adventure activities (safaris, hiking, diving, Kilimanjaro climbs)
• Trip interruptions or cancellations
• Baggage & personal items

Why Purchase in Advance?

Buying your travel insurance early protects all your prepaid costs (flights, hotel bookings, safari tours) and ensures you are fully covered from the moment your trip begins.
