Insurance - Important!

We strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance when you book your safari. 

Please consider the following and contact us if you need recommendations.

Delayed baggage is a very common problem especially if you have 2 or more connecting flights. Our insurance partners will reimburse you for the purchase of additional clothing if your baggage is delayed for 24 hours or more! And they will track your luggage - saving you hours of frustrating phone calls. This is a HUGE benefit and we STRONGLY recommend you purchase insurance with us. If you elect to NOT buy insurance, then please understand that you are responsible for baggage tracing and additional out-of-pocket expenses - we simply cannot help you with this in Arusha!  

Our insurance partners are two of the very best companies in our industry - TravelEx and Travel Guard - and we highly recommend you purchase your insurance from either one of them.
