AFRICA TRAVEL INSURANCE
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Africa travel insurance is a must, there are no two ways about it. You don't want to be travelling through various third world countries (who don't have the type of medical system you are used to) without adequate travel insurance as it covers any matter of things such as medical assistance, repatriation to your home country (if required) due to illness or injury, legal expenses and 50 sport and leisure activities if you feel like really letting yourself go.

Whilst medical care in Africa is not expensive when compared to countries like America and Japan, the levels of care and treatment are definitely different to those you are used to having lived in Australia. As we would say to anyone we know that travels, it's a lot better to spend a little bit of cash at the beginning of your holiday on an Africa Travel Insurance Policy so that if the unthinkable does happen, you won't be hit for all the associated costs and will be able to afford to be repatriated back to Oz. A little peace of mind goes a long way when travelling through Africa. So, an Africa Travel Insurance policy is a must.

Online Travel Insurance
Our Africa Travel Insurance policies are available to any traveller who is a permanent resident in Australia at the time they buy the policy and is 65 years or under at the time of policy purchase. Due to the fact that people go to Africa for any matter of reasons, and for any length of time (some get there and never come home), we have developed a range of policies to suit anyone's circumstances. Whilst all our polices are affordable, and offer great levels of cover we also provide a few 'bonus' extras such as adventure sports cover and 24 hour worldwide medical emergency assistance. These aspects of cover all come at no extra cost to you.
