Coverage guides
Safari destinations
Every safari region carries different risks — remoteness, evacuation distance, malaria exposure. Pick your destination for specific coverage guidance.
Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique
The Indian Ocean finale to a southern-Africa safari — dune islands, dugong seagrass beds, and world-class diving, reached by helicopter or boat from Vilanculos. Remote-island logistics meet dive-wording fine print.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Uganda's mountain-gorilla stronghold — steeper, wilder trekking than Rwanda at $800 a permit, reached by long road transfers or light aircraft to remote southwestern airstrips.
Etosha National Park, Namibia
Africa's great self-drive safari — a vast salt-pan wilderness with floodlit waterholes, excellent gravel roads, and an insurance profile dominated by rental-car clauses rather than adventure exclusions.
Kruger & Sabi Sand, South Africa
World-class private reserves with the continent's best medical infrastructure.
Masai Mara, Kenya
Classic big-cat country with strong flying-doctor coverage from Nairobi.
Okavango Delta, Botswana
Water-based safaris and remote luxury camps reachable only by light aircraft.
Serengeti, Tanzania
The great migration, balloon safaris, and mixed lodge and camp stays.
South Luangwa, Zambia
The home of the walking safari; genuinely remote camps.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Africa's adventure capital — white-water rafting, bungee jumping, gorge swings, and microlight flights over the falls. Nearly every headline activity here sits on somebody's exclusion list, making this the wording-check destination par excellence.
Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Gorilla trekking at altitude, with $1,500 non-refundable permits.
