As we all know, travelling is fun, safaris are very adventurous and may involve a certain amount of personal risk. The fact that you are travelling in the third world can be described as adventurous as there are few local hospitals able to provide the standard of healthcare expected or required.
Conditions can be harsh and affect your equipment – so make sure you are fully insured before travelling.
Like all insurance, in the unlikely event you may need it, it must cater for all eventualities and it must adequately cover you for the conditions encountered. If you are using your existing travel insurance policy, make sure it covers you adequately.
Local flying doctors services:
We also insist you have full local Flying Doctor insurance cover which is the bush ambulance purchased locally by us. Being isolated and off the beaten track may require instant medical attention which cannot wait for clearance or authorisation from your overseas insurance company. Time is usually of the utmost importance and no one provides such a fantastic service as AMREF. You can get a 14-day cover via the website.
Evacuation by Air Ambulance provides a quick and reliable air evacuation when there is a medical need, to a hospital in an area or country where the medical standards are available.
Repatriation by international Air Ambulances to your home country or any other country is provided by your international insurance company.
