Does Travel Insurance Cover Bush Flights?
June 28, 2026· By InsuranceSafari Research Team· Safari Travel Insurance editorial team· Updated August 19, 2026· 1 min read
The light aircraft that connect remote safari camps to the outside world are almost always 'unscheduled charter' flights — and that exact phrase is a standard exclusion in generic travel insurance. If your policy wording mentions 'scheduled carriers only,' a bush flight likely isn't covered.
We check this automatically for every plan: policies that exclude bush flights never appear in your results at all. You can see the exact policy wording behind every verdict on the results page.
