Holiday Insurance for Safaris Organised Outside the UK
Before starting off on your adventure, make sure that you have full travel insurance that includes cover for safaris. If your safari holiday is organised by a company outside the UK, you can simply add extra cover with Sports Grade 2 when you quote for a Single, Annual or Backpacker trip.
Under our insurance policies, you are covered for any incidents when you:
- Wear or carry the appropriate safety equipment at all times
- Follow correct procedure while on safari
- Refrain from any reckless behaviour that deliberately exposes you to danger
There are potential dangers involved in safari trips, but fortunately your travel insurance will give you peace of mind. By selecting Grade 2 Sports cover, you will also have all the activities in Sports Grade 1 included at no extra cost - over 100 sports and activities covered free.

Cheap. But not nasty!
I required travel insurance for my 13 year old daughters who are travelling unaccompanied to the USA later this year. Essential was one of the few companies I found that caters for that market and at a surprising low price. The cover is more than adequate although it has to be said that figures for the excess waivers were not so readily traceable. But got that I'd award it five stars. If we have to make a claim this review and the raring could go down as well as up.
