The safety and well-being of our guests is our utmost priority at Timon Safaris. While we strive to provide a seamless and trouble-free experience, we are fully prepared to handle emergencies during your safari.

 – Pre-Trip Briefings: Before embarking on any safari, our guests receive a thorough briefing, which covers safety protocols, emergency contacts, and health precautions to be observed during the trip.

 – Trained Safari Guides: All our guides are trained in basic first aid and emergency response. They maintain regular communication with our head office and have protocols for minor health concerns and wildlife-related emergencies.

 – Vehicle Safety: Our safari vehicles are regularly inspected and equipped with first aid kits, communication devices, and safety tools to address any on-road emergencies.

 – Flying Doctor Services: We are partnered with the Flying Doctors Service in a severe medical emergency requiring immediate advanced care or hospitalization. This membership ensures our guests can be rapidly airlifted to the nearest medical facility. The service covers:

  • Rapid Air Evacuations: Quick transportation to medical facilities in modern aircraft equipped for in-flight care.
  • 24/7 Medical Advice: Access to professionals for guidance during a medical situation.
  • Top Medical Facilities: Patients are transported to leading hospitals in East Africa to receive the best possible care.

 – Emergency Contact System: Our central office maintains a 24/7 emergency line, ensuring guests and staff can quickly relay information and receive necessary support during crises.

 – Lodge and Camp Protocols: The lodges and camps we partner with have their emergency procedures, including communication systems, first-aid trained personnel, and some even have on-site clinics.

 – Continuous Monitoring: We keep a watchful eye on regional situations, including weather conditions, political landscapes, and health advisories. If any potential risks arise, we adjust our itineraries accordingly.

 – Insurance and Medical Information: While we provide immediate response and assistance, we recommend all our guests have comprehensive travel insurance. Before the safari begins, we gather essential medical information from our guests to be adequately prepared for personal health needs or allergies.

In essence, while the wild landscapes of Tanzania are remote, we at Timon Safaris are equipped and committed to ensuring that every guest is in safe hands. Your adventure with us is backed by thorough planning, professional training, and the peace of mind of knowing that rapid response systems are in place.
