Ensure that your medical insurance covers you for emergency medical evacuation. Should you require a medical evacuation, be advised that most travel insurance companies require that you obtain authorisation from them prior to the medical evacuation. When you are on a safari, you may find yourself in a situation where it is not possible to access the telephone to get the authorization beforehand. Check with your chosen company if they have this clause and what can be done to get around it if the eventuality does arise.

There are some luxury safari properties which offer emergency evacuation within their own insurance policy, please ask your experience expert if this is covered by the properties you are travelling to.
