You need travel insurance to participate in any trip conducted by Utopia Africa. It is a wise thing to have travel insurance because it covers you against unforeseen circumstances. Your trip is a valuable investment, so it is a wise thing to protect it against cancellation, delays, interruptions and unforeseeable expenses. We strongly advise that you obtain travel insurance immediately after booking your trip with Utopia Africa.

Standard travel insurance covers the following:

• Trip cancellation
• Trip interruption
• A death in the family
• Loss of employment
• Lost or delayed luggage
• Pre-existing medical conditions
• Medical evacuation and repatriation
• Flight delays, cancellations or missed connections
• Emergency medical conditions(Injury, illness or other medical conditions)
• Terrorism

Your travel insurance should at minimum protect you against trip cancellation and trip interruption; this can be useful should you need to cancel your trip due to circumstances such as sickness, emergencies or training injury.
Your Insurance should also cover high altitude trekking (do not confuse this with mountaineering or mountain climbing which is not covered by most insurance providers) and medical evacuation and repatriation costs.
