Travel Insurance for Africa

For single trip policies, just select the country you will be visiting within Africa from the drop down list. For example, if you need Travel Insurance for Kenya, just select Kenya from the list, and we will show you suitable policies. While we cannot guarantee that nothing will go wrong while travelling across the world, we can help you with issues that may arise, such as needing emergency medical treatment, cutting your trip short, or losing your baggage. In Africa, there are a few countries where it is mandatory for travellers to have Travel Insurance, including Zanzibar (Tanzania), starting from October 2024. For more information, check the FCDO travel advice. Please note that you are only covered for countries that the FCDO has not advised against travel.

Depending on your medical history, age, the activities you will be participating in while on holiday, and whether you select a single trip or annual multi-trip, a standard Travel Insurance policy for Africa will include:

• No upper age limit
• Cancellation cover up to £12,500 (£50,000 on referral with Top-Up Cancellation) per person

Yes, you can purchase a single trip policy and list all the countries you will be visiting on your trip, with one start date and one end date, for up to 365 days. Alternatively, you can purchase a worldwide annual multi-trip policy which covers an unlimited number of trips within a 12 month period. Whichever you choose, check that your Africa Travel Insurance policy:

• Covers all of the locations you want to visit.
• Includes no destinations that are against the FCDO’s recommendations (you will not be covered, but can still purchase).
• Covers your holiday for the entire duration – different insurance policies have different maximum trip durations, for example on an annual policy, you need to specify what your longest trip will be.
• Is accompanied by all of the necessary visas for each place you’ll be visiting.

For a Travel Insurance policy to be the “best”, it must reflect all your health and travel requirements. Still, it’s important to remember there is no ‘one size fits all’ policy, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.
