Why do I need safari travel insurance?

A safari offers unique thrills—and risks—that regular travel insurance doesn’t always cover. Here’s why specialised safari travel insurance is essential:

  • Medical and Evacuation Coverage: Standard health insurance often doesn’t cover injuries in remote safari locations. With safari travel insurance, you get reliable support, including emergency evacuation if needed.
  • Protection for Expensive Equipment: Safari gear—such as high-quality cameras and lenses—is an investment. Safeguarding against theft or damage helps avoid unexpected expenses.
  • Peace of Mind: Safaris come with their own set of unpredictable factors—wild animals, changing weather, and more. Safari travel insurance helps you handle the unexpected with confidence.

Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or embarking on your first adventure, Rise & Shield has your back—allowing you to focus on the beauty of the wild, not the risks.
