Volunteer Work Travel Insurance
Africa is a travel destination where it is imperative that take out adequate travel insurance. Follow the guidelines below and ensure
that you have sufficient Travel Insurance Africa.
- Medical Expenses:
We recommend that you are covered for a minimum of £400,000
and please ensure that you are covered for repatriation (being flown
home if there is the need)
- Cancellation and curtailment:
How much you need to be covered for cancellation and curtailment
is dependent on the cost of your ticket and any other expenses you
may have to pay out to get yourself to the project. £1,000
is recommended. If your ticket and your outlay is more expensive
than this, then obviously go up accordingly.
- Africa Travel Insurance for adventurous activities/extreme sports:
We recommend that you are covered for this if you are planning
on doing any ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ activities such
as white water rafting, bungee jumping, surfing, river canoeing,
etc.
- Africa Travel Insurance for travel documents:
Cash limit and personal liability are not mandatory for African
Impact volunteers but are recommended. It is up to you to decide
on your cover for these areas, and to consult your insurance broker.
- Africa Travel Insurance for baggage and personal belongings:
This is up to you– this covers your luggage and its contents.
Add up the value of your luggage and belongings and decide how
much the contents are worth. Some travellers opt rather to insure
individual items that are of the highest value, e.g. digital camera
