Why choose Safari Travel Insurance?
A safari is a guided wildlife experience that takes place in national parks, game reserves or conservation areas, usually in an open or enclosed vehicle. It allows travellers to observe animals in their natural habitat while accompanied by professional guides. Safaris are typically enjoyed as a non-professional, recreational activity while travelling abroad.
ActivitySure can cover safari experiences when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level. This includes safaris organised directly with local operators abroad, as well as safaris arranged as part of a UK-organised trip. While safaris are designed to be controlled and safe, they often take place in remote environments, which is why appropriate travel insurance is important before you travel.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go on safari?
Safari travel is most commonly associated with East and Southern Africa. Kenya and Tanzania are well known for large national parks and seasonal wildlife migrations, attracting travellers from around the world. South Africa is also a popular destination, offering a wide range of safari experiences in established reserves, often with well-developed infrastructure and guided tours suitable for first-time safari travellers.
Many people take part in safaris as part of a wider holiday itinerary, combining wildlife viewing with sightseeing or relaxation.
Here's why safari travel insurance matters:
Safaris often take place in remote locations where access to medical facilities may be limited. Long distances, rough terrain and extended periods away from towns can increase the complexity of receiving treatment if you become ill or injured. If something goes wrong during your trip, travel insurance helps protect you financially if you require medical treatment, emergency assistance or repatriation, or if your plans are disrupted unexpectedly.
Helpful travel tips
- Always follow the instructions and guidance provided by your safari guide or tour leader
- Remain seated where instructed and keep arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times
- Wear appropriate clothing for the environment, including sun protection where needed.
- Avoid sudden movements or loud noises that may disturb wildlife. Use seatbelts or safety restraints where provided
