Travel Insurance

Go2Africa strongly recommends the purchase of comprehensive travel insurance for the duration of your journey. A hundred and one unpredictable things can go wrong while - or even before - you go on vacation.

If unforeseen circumstances should force you to cancel or reschedule your trip, reroute your travel services, return home early, or even seek emergency medical treatment, travel insurance can cover the costs of these unpredictable events.

Insurance can only be purchased prior to departure and should be purchased within 14 days of confirmation of your travel reservation. Go2Africa urges you to fully assess your needs and purchase adequate and necessary travel insurance. A selection of travel insurance options by country of origin is available below.
