While travel insurance is not mandatory for entering Tanzania, we at Timon Safaris strongly recommend that all our guests obtain comprehensive travel insurance for several critical reasons:

 – Medical Emergencies: Tanzania is home to some of the world’s most beautiful and remote landscapes. Should you require medical attention, especially in more secluded safari locations, the costs associated with medical treatment or evacuation can be significant. Comprehensive travel insurance can cover these unexpected expenses.

 – Trip Cancellations or Interruptions: Plans can change due to unforeseen circumstances. Whether it’s personal reasons, natural disasters, or global events, insurance can cover trip cancellations or interruptions, ensuring you aren’t financially burdened.

 – Lost or Damaged Luggage: Traveling involves movement between various locations, flights, and transfers. Luggage’s always likely to get delayed, lost, or damaged. Insurance can help recover some of these potential costs.

 – Activity Coverage: While we ensure all our activities are conducted safely, safaris have risks, especially if you’re engaging in adventurous pursuits. Ensure your insurance policy covers activities like game drives, trekking, or any other adventures you plan to undertake.

 – Personal Liability: In the rare event you’re found responsible for causing injury to another person or damaging property, personal liability coverage can protect you from substantial costs.

 – Unexpected Travel Delays: Due to weather conditions, political events, or transport issues, unexpected delays can result in additional accommodation or meal expenses. A travel insurance policy can assist in offsetting these unplanned costs.

 – Peace of Mind: The most significant benefit is knowing you’re protected from unforeseen financial burdens during your journey. Travelling with this security allows you to fully immerse yourself in the wonders of Tanzania without lingering worries.

Before purchasing travel insurance, it’s essential to:

  • Read the Policy Carefully: Understand what is and isn’t covered.
  • Declare Pre-existing Conditions: Ensure any pre-existing medical conditions are declared and covered.
  • Check Coverage Limits: Ensure the coverage limits are adequate, especially for medical and evacuation expenses.
  • Keep Emergency Contacts: Always have your insurance provider’s emergency contact details readily accessible during your trip.

Travelling is an investment in experience, memories, and personal growth. Protecting this investment with travel insurance ensures that unexpected challenges don’t overshadow the magic of your Tanzanian adventure.
