Trip Cancellation

Reimburses prepaid, non-refundable trip costs when you cancel before departure for a covered reason — illness, injury, a death in the family, and other events listed in the policy wording.

Safari trips concentrate an unusual amount of prepaid, non-refundable money: camp deposits paid a year ahead, internal flights, and trekking permits that cannot be resold. Trip cancellation is the benefit that gets that money back — but only for the reasons the policy actually lists.

Worth knowing for safaris

Cover the full trip cost, including internal bush flights and permits, not just the international airfare.
"Fear of travel" and "changed my mind" are never covered reasons — that's what Cancel For Any Reason is for.
Gorilla and chimp permits may need dedicated permit protection; generic cancellation wording doesn't always reach them.
