Do I need travel insurance for Africa?

Whether you’re off to Cape Town, South Africa or a week away in Morocco, it’s important you have your travel insurance sorted before you fly off on your trip of a lifetime.

Your holiday, no matter where you’re going in Africa, should be remembered for the right reasons. While we can’t promise nothing will go wrong while you’re seeing the world, we can help straighten things out if it does.

Did you know 1 in 20 people claimed on their travel insurance in 2018*? From stolen passports or flight delays, to a serious medical emergency needing to be flown home by air ambulance, going without travel insurance isn’t worth risking.

The Government’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office recommends that you buy travel insurance for every trip you take abroad, including trips to Africa.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my travel insurance?

When you’re off to Africa, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday comfortably, confident that you’re well covered by your travel insurance if you have a medical emergency.

You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.

It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.
