Purchase Travel InsuraNce

We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance within two weeks of making your deposit. Deposits are non-transferable and non-refundable, and we are not able to make changes to our cancellation policy for any reason. Travel Guard comes highly recommended by our guests, but youโ€™re free to pick whichever insurer you like.

If purchasing coverage through Travel Guard, please use this dedicated link for Thomson guests or call this dedicated number (877-458-7308) so that we can assist in the event that you need to file a claim. Please also provide the Thomson account number: 006004.

Once you have purchased insurance, please upload your policy confirmation using the secure link below.

CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Coverage for pre-existing conditions or Cancel for Any Reason Coverage is usually NOT included if you buy a policy more than 2 weeks after making a deposit, so itโ€™s always best to buy a policy as soon as possible.

  • Even if there are unfinished details like flights or extra services, purchase the policy now, and amend it later.

  • Our deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable, and additional cancel fees are imposed from 90 days before departure. Insurance coverage protects your investment before you even depart!

  • During the trip, you will be in beautiful, very remote destinations; even minor injuries like a bad sprain or a simple fall may require evacuation by medical flight which can be as much as $30,000.

  • Please make sure you have your itinerary handy so you can ask the travel insurance agent what the best policy coverage is for you.

  • Thomson Safaris provides local cover to coordinate local air and ground ambulance services within Tanzania and Kenya through AMREF Flying Doctors. However, this works as a supplement to your travel insurance and medical evacuation insurance and is not a replacement for travel insurance. It allows any evacuation to happen more quickly and efficiently, using local services instead of waiting for pre-approvals from your provider. Please note, this is not included on extensions outside of Tanzania unless otherwise noted.
