Do I Need Travel Insurance To Climb Kilimanjaro

Travel insurance is required to participate on this trip.

Trip deposits are non-refundable and balance payments are only partially refundable. Therefore, it is prudent for you to protect your investment against trip cancellation, interruption, delays and unforeseeable expenses. Standard travel insurance provides coverage for:

  • Trip cancellation
  • Trip interruption
  • Missed connection
  • Travel delay
  • Baggage delay and personal items lost
  • Hurricane and weather
  • Employment layoff
  • Pre-existing medical conditions
  • Emergency medical
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation
  • Financial default
  • Terrorism

At a minimum, the insurance should protect you against trip cancellation and trip interruption, should you need to cancel your trip due to circumstances such as training injuries or sickness or emergencies.

Your travel insurance must cover high altitude trekking up to 6,000 meters

Your package includes membership of Flying Doctors’ Society of Africa.  In case of medical emergency, you are entitled to free, unlimited air ambulance evacuations.  All hospital costs, medical treatments, medicines etc. are not included in this service and it is essential that you have additional insurance, as detailed above.

For our international customers, we recommend that you obtain travel insurance through World Nomads.
