For information relating to policies purchased prior to October 23 2024, please check the Policy Wording provided with your purchase. You can contact us if you need this sent to you again. For plans purchased after October 23 2024, please see below.

At a glance:

  • Travel insurance benefits for Laos may include trip cancellation, delay, and interruption
  • Coverage for medical emergencies, medical evacuation, and natural disasters while abroad
  • Protection for lost, stolen, or delayed baggage and personal belongings
  • Coverage for 250+ adventure and sports activities across Laos (kayaking and rafting included)!
  • Optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade for extra flexibility. Additional terms apply

Also known as the “Land of a Million Elephants,” Laos offers an intriguing blend of Buddhist culture, French colonial history, Khmer ruins, scenic landscapes, and laidback villages. Whether you want to go caving in Tham Nam, learn from remote mountain tribes like the Hmong and the Karen, or visit Buddhist monasteries like Pha That Luang, Laos has plenty of highlights that rival its more well-visited neighbors. You can chase islands, caves, and waterfalls in Southern Laos or head to Northern Laos for hiking, cultural, and cycling adventures.

In Vientiane, you can kick back at a trendy café, admire colonial era architecture, step back in time at historic Buddhist temples, and sample Laotian specialties like Khao Piak Sen (rice noodle soup). Beyond its buzzy cities, Laos is also a wonder for nature seekers. You can refresh in waterfalls, look for river dolphins, or take a boat ride in Nong Kiau.

While a trip to Laos is an incredible experience, there are some things to be aware of when visiting from the US, including lost luggage and motorcycle accidents. We’ve learned quite a bit in our travels and encourage you to explore travel insurance* plans for Laos.

Do I need travel insurance for Laos?

International travel can bring unexpected surprises, like coming across a mountain covered in ancient stone jars in Xiangkhoang Plateau. However, some surprises are not as exciting. Nobody wants to think about delayed flights or lost bags, but these things can happen unexpectedly.

If you get into a motorcycle accident while biking around Luang Prabang, you may need to see a doctor. You may then wish that you had travel insurance for Laos.

World Nomads has four plans to choose from, and when you get a quote you can compare the options to determine the best international travel insurance plan for your needs.

Travel insurance for activities in Laos

From the meandering Mekong River to the rolling mountains, Laos is plentiful with adventures. Seventy percent of the country’s geographic area is made up of mountains, highlands, and plateaus, after all. While you may not be able to go tubing in Vang Vieng anymore, the area remains a hub for rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, and other outdoor adventures. World Nomads covers more than 250 activities for Americans traveling to Laos and includes things like climbing Phou Bia—the highest mountain in Laos--, rafting on the Lao River, and canyoning in Nam Sa Nam.

When you get a quote for your travel insurance for Laos, it’s helpful to have a general itinerary in mind. Different plans cover different activities. Knowing your activities in advance will help you choose the best insurance for your trip.

You can volunteer with ethical wildlife non-profits like Lao Conservation Trust for Wildlife or motorbike the Bolaven Plateau Loop—home to waterfalls and coffee plantations—with any plan, including the Standard Plan. If taking a hot air balloon ride over the cliffs of Vang Vieng is on your bucket list, though, you’ll need to invest in the Explorer or the Epic Plan.

Travel insurance for motorbiking in Laos

Motorbiking is common in Laos, and in some instances, it could be covered by your travel insurance plan - but it’s not guaranteed. Just because it’s easy to rent a motorbike there doesn’t mean you should, and it doesn’t mean you’ll be covered.

We get a lot of accident claims from nomads who hop on a motorized bike for the first time in Laos because it’s cheap and easy to rent. However, safety is not always top priority for other drivers – speed and convenience are. The rules of the road can be very different from back home in the United States. Motorbike accidents are quite common and it’s very important to know that if you don’t have the proper license for motorbiking, your travel insurance for Laos won’t cover you.

If motorbiking is something you insist on doing, you’ll need to look at getting the proper license for motorbiking in Laos before you leave the US. You can get specific license requirements for Laos on the U.S. government’s website and will want to review your plan wording carefully when you get a quote for travel insurance for Laos. We also recommend that you read up on how to safely motorbike in Laos.

Travel insurance support for medical emergencies in Laos

Before you leave the United States, we recommend you book an appointment with our Pre-Departure Telehealth service. This non-insurance service offers online consultations 24/7 and can help you obtain necessary medications before you take off for Laos, such as certain vaccinations or antimalarial medication.

We also recommend you pack a strong mosquito repellent and sunscreen to keep you protected on your travels. You should avoid drinking tap water and instead stick with boiled or bottled water. Trust us, food poisoning is a sure way to throw off your travel plans!

Medical care in Laos looks a bit different than what you’re used to in the US. If you get injured while climbing Pha Daeng, you may need to seek medical attention. In the event of a medical emergency while traveling in Laos, you can call the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team and they can help refer you to a place that offers the level of care that you need. They can also help communicate with your local medical team if there are language barriers.

If your attending physician (and the 24/7 emergency assistance team) determines that it’s best for you to go home to the US to get medical care, the repatriation coverage that is included in your travel insurance for Laos may cover the costs to get you there.

Travel insurance for lost and stolen bags in Laos

What happens if you land in Vientiane to find that your bags haven’t arrived? It’s no fun to be waiting at the luggage carousel wondering if your bag is on its way. If you’re lucky, your bags just took a detour and will eventually make their way to you. Even a delayed bag can be stressful though. If your bag is delayed for at least 12 hours, you could still be reimbursed for a change of clothes and toiletries until you and your bag are reunited.

The first step is to contact the airline. If the airline isn’t able to help you locate your lost bag, the second step is to contact the Delayed or Lost Baggage Tracking and Delivery service, which is another of our non-insurance service partners. Make sure to have the file reference or record locator number and Property Irregularity Report on hand when you call so you can file a lost luggage claim.

While Laos is generally a safe place, petty theft and pickpockets can happen in crowded tourist spots or on public transportation. Like anywhere you travel, it’s smart to keep your belongings where you can see them and store your valuables in a safe at your accommodation. If anything does happen, make sure you file a police report. You’ll need that if you have to make a claim and get reimbursed for stolen goods with your travel insurance for Laos.

Travel insurance for canceled, interrupted, or delayed trips to Laos

Even if you’ve booked all your hotels and excursions for Laos, unexcepted things can happen that might disrupt your trip. When looking for travel insurance plans for Laos, make sure to get one that covers trip cancelation, delays, and interruptions.

What happens if you get sick a few days before leaving for Laos? If your doctor tells you not to travel at that time, you could be forced to cancel your trip. A travel insurance plan for Laos that includes cancelation coverage could reimburse you for those non-refundable or transferable flights, hotels, and activities you paid for in advance.

If you’re already on your trip, and something happens to interrupt your vacation, World Nomads travel insurance may compensate you for covered reasons. For example, if your travel companion gets in a motorcycle accident and needs to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours, your expenses (up to plan limits) could be covered, too. Make sure to keep all documentation and receipts for things you paid for in advance- you’ll need those if you make a claim.

Tips for traveling to Laos from the United States

Before you head out on your epic adventure, we encourage you to check out the US government’s travel warnings for Laos. Weather, safety, and political situations can change at any time, and this is where they list any current advisories.

If you purchase travel insurance for Laos, it is a good idea to save the 24/7 Emergency Assistance phone number and your plan number in your cell phone so you don’t have to search for that if an emergency happens.

Laotians have a reputation for being warm and welcoming towards tourists. Beyond a warm welcome, you have stunning scenery and rich culture to look forward to. To help prep for your trip, you may want to read up on the things to know before you visit Laos. Brush up on some local phrases and embrace the spirit of slow travel to help you get off the beaten path in Laos and enjoy this surprising country.

*All information we provided here is a brief summary. It does not include all terms, conditions, limitations, exclusions, and termination provisions of the plans described. Please carefully read your state specific plan documents for a full description of coverage. Travel insurance is included as part of your travel protection plan which contains both insurance benefits and non-insurance assistance services.

Travel Insurance for Vietnam

From street eats in Hanoi to sailing around Halong Bay, learn how travel insurance can help Americans traveling to Vietnam.

  • Coverage for 250+ adventure and sports activities across Vietnam (kayaking and hiking included)!
  • Optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade for extra flexibility. Additional terms apply

Slurping down bowls of steaming Pho on a corner in Ho Chi Minh City, cruising along the coast from Hanoi to the Mekong Delta, and hiking through terraced rice fields in Sapa are probably a few of the visions you have of exploring vibrant Vietnam. This Southeast Asian country draws thousands of American visitors each year to adventure through storied landscapes, buzzing cities, and, of course, to sample its famed cuisine.

You can get lost in a sea of motorcycles in busy Ho Chi Minh, check out the evolving underground scene in Hanoi, get a history lesson at war memorials such as the Cu Chi Tunnels and at ancient Confucius sites like the Temple of Literature, and unwind on a boat trip down the Mekong River. Nature travelers might want to explore Northern Vietnam, where lush hills, waterfalls, and tiny mountain villages like Mai Chau are in abundance.

While a trip to Vietnam is an incredible experience, there are some things to be aware of when you’re visiting from the US. We’ve learned quite a bit in our travels and encourage you to explore travel insurance* plans for Vietnam.

Do I need travel insurance for Vietnam?

International travel can bring all kinds of unexpected surprises - like tasting the banh mi from a legendary sandwich shop in Hoi An.

Some surprises are not as great though. Nobody wants to think about canceled trips, delayed baggage, and medical emergencies, but these things can happen unexpectedly. If crash your bicycle while cycling through the mountains around Dalat, you may then wish that you had travel insurance for Vietnam.

World Nomads has four plans to choose from, and when you get a quote you can compare the options to choose the best international travel insurance for your needs.

Travel insurance for activities in Vietnam

From cruising in Halong Bay to exploring the caves in Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park, Vietnam is brimming with adventures for the adrenaline seekers and outdoor travelers. World Nomads covers more than 250 activities for Americans traveling to Vietnam and includes things camping on Cat Ba Island, canyoning in Dalat, and swimming in the ocean.

When you get a quote for your travel insurance for Vietnam, it’s helpful to have a general itinerary in mind. Different plans cover different activities. Knowing which activities you’ll do in advance will help you choose the best insurance for your trip.

Things like kayaking in beautiful Tu San Gorge and rock climbing in Hữu Lũng are covered under all plans, including the Standard Plan. However, if you’re hoping to go cliff jumping in Nha Trang, you’ll need to purchase the Explorer or the Epic Plan for coverage.

Travel insurance for motorbiking in Vietnam

Motorbiking is common in Vietnam, and in some instances, it could be covered by your travel insurance plan - but it’s not guaranteed. Just because it’s easy to rent a motorbike there doesn’t mean you should, and it doesn’t mean you’ll be covered.

We get a lot of accident claims from nomads who hop on a motorized bike for the first time in Vietnam because it’s cheap and easy to rent. However, safety is not always top priority for other drivers – speed and convenience are. The roads are often narrow and windy, and in the cities are clogged with traffic. The rules of the road can be very different from back home in the United States. Motorbike accidents are quite common and it’s very important to know that if you don’t have the proper license for motorbiking, your travel insurance for Vietnam won’t cover you.

If motorbiking is something you insist on doing, you’ll need to look at getting the proper license for motorbiking in Vietnam before you leave the US. You can get specific license requirements for Vietnam on the U.S. government’s website. You’ll also want to review your plan wording carefully when you get a quote for travel insurance for Vietnam.

Travel insurance support for medical emergencies in Vietnam

Before you take off on your adventure to Vietnam, we recommend that you make an appointment with our Pre-Departure Telethealth Service. This non-insurance service offers online consultations 24/7 and can help you obtain necessary vaccinations or medications, such as medication to help with traveler’s diarrhea. Depending on which region of Vietnam you’ll be visiting, they can also recommend whether you should take an anti-malarial medication.

Let’s face it—eating street food is practically synonymous with a vacation in Vietnam. We certainly can’t blame you for wanting to try bun cha, bot chien, and banh xeo, but street food can be a gamble and you should choose your vendors carefully. Food poisoning is no fun when traveling. Also remember to drink filtered or bottled water, as tap water is generally not recommended to drink.

Your travel insurance may also come into handy if you fall and injure yourself while hiking one of the many beautiful trails in Vietnam. If you have a medical emergency while traveling in Vietnam, you can call the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team and they can help refer you to a place that offers the level of care that you need. If you’re traveling in a remote area, they may be able to help transfer you to a suitable facility for care and can also help communicate with your local medical team if there are language barriers.

In the event that your attending physician (and the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team) determines that it’s best for you to go home to the US to get medical care, the repatriation coverage that is included in your travel insurance for South America may cover the costs to get you there.

Travel insurance for lost and stolen bags in Vietnam

What happens if you land in Ho Chi Minh City to find that your bags didn’t arrive at the same time you did? If you’re lucky, your bags just took a detour and will eventually make their way to you. Even a delayed bag can be stressful though. If your bags are delayed for at least 12 hours, you may still be reimbursed for a change of clothes and toiletries until you and your bag are reunited.

The first step is to contact the airline. If the airline isn’t able to help you locate your lost bag, the second step is to contact our Delayed or Lost Baggage Tracking and Delivery non-insurance service. Make sure to have the file reference or record locator number and Property Irregularity Report on hand when you call so you can file a lost luggage claim.

Petty theft and pickpockets can happen in Vietnam’s urban centers. Pay attention if you’re in a crowded market or walking along the streets. Motorcyclists have been known to grab bags as they drive by people on the street. Keeping your bag in front of you, keeping an eye on your belongings, and leaving your valuables locked in a safe at your hotel minimize the risk of theft. If anything does happen, make sure you make a police report. You’ll need to make a claim and get reimbursed for stolen goods with your travel insurance for Vietnam.

Travel insurance for canceled, interrupted, or delayed trips to Vietnam

Even if you’ve booked all your hotels and excursions for Vietnam, unexcepted things could happen that might disrupt your trip. When looking for travel insurance plans for Vietnam, consider getting one that covers trip cancelation, delays, and interruptions.

Vietnam is prone to natural disasters, particularly flooding and landslides during monsoon season, which runs from June through November. If a flood closes roads and makes it impossible to get to your destination, your travel insurance for Vietnam may help you be reimbursed for non-refundable tours and hotel accommodations that you paid for in advance. Or, if a landslide destroys your accommodation and makes it uninhabitable, World Nomads travel insurance may also be able to help.

What happens if your travel companion gets in a motorcycle accident and needs to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours? Your expenses (up to plan limits) could be covered, too, under the Trip Interruption benefit. Make sure to keep all documentation and receipts for things you paid for in advance- you’ll need those if you make a claim.

Tips for traveling to Vietnam from the United States

Before you head out on your epic adventure, we encourage you to check out the US government’s travel warnings for Vietnam. Weather, safety, and political situations can change at any time, and this is where they list any current advisories. You also may want to read up on our tips for traveling to Vietnam.

If you purchase travel insurance for Vietnam, it is a good idea to save the 24/7 Emergency Assistance phone number and your plan number in your cell phone, so you don’t have to search for that if an emergency happens.

Learn a few Vietnamese phrases before you take off—these can help you bargain and order the best food! Read up on Vietnam’s complex history, both ancient and contemporary, to give you some context for your trip. And don’t be afraid to venture into the unknown. Vietnam has plenty of lesser-visited spots beyond its most popular destinations. Check out our recommendations for getting off the beaten track in Central Vietnam for some inspiration!

Annual Multi-Trip vs Single Trip Travel Insurance

Delve into the details to help you make an informed decision.

    As featured in:

  • As featured in:

Whether you’re a frequent flyer or someone planning one big far-flung trip, the choice between an Annual Multi-Trip and a Single Trip policy can have a significant impact on your cover, as well as your bottom line. Let’s delve into the details to help you make an informed decision.

What is Annual Multi-Trip?

Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance is designed for Irish globetrotters who embark on multiple journeys within a year. With this type of policy, you’re covered for an unlimited number of trips within a specified region during the policy period. It's a cost-effective and convenient option for those who travel frequently.

What are the benefits and considerations of Annual Multi-Trip?

Benefits:

  • Cost-effective: Instead of purchasing a separate policy for each trip, you pay once for year-round coverage.
  • Convenience: We get it. Travel insurance isn’t the most exciting part in planning a trip. Say goodbye to the hassle of arranging insurance every time you travel with Annual Multi-Trip.
  • Kids go free: World Nomads Annual Multi-Trip policies offer free coverage for children under the age of 18 travelling with an adult, making year-round family travel more affordable.
  • Domestic travel: Our Annual Multi-Trip policy offers cover for both international and (subject to some restrictions – check your policy wording for more information).

Considerations:

  • Trip duration limits: Each trip is capped at a certain number of days (31 days with the Standard plan, 45 days with the Explorer plan).
  • Initial cost: While cost-effective in the long run, the upfront payment may be higher than a Single Trip policy.
  • Policy renewal and auto-renewal: Annual Multi-Trip policies do not auto-renew. You'll need to purchase a new policy each year, but don't worry we will write to you 28 days before expiry so you can get another quote. On the other hand, Single Trip policies expire after each journey, requiring a new purchase for any subsequent trips.

What is Single Trip travel insurance?

As the name suggests, Single Trip insurance provides coverage for a single journey. It's ideal for travellers embarking on one-off vacations or business trips outside their home country.

What are the benefits and considerations of Single Trip?

Benefits:

  • Flexibility: Tailored coverage for a specific trip, allowing you to customize your policy based on the destination, duration and planned activities.
  • Less restrictions on trip duration: Enjoy the freedom to choose the length of your trip without worrying about exceeding coverage limits. Single trip policies have a 365-day limit, but if you wish to continue your trip you can simply purchase a new policy.
  • Simplicity: (depending on your travel plans of course). You only need to focus on the details of one trip at a time.
  • Less commitment: If you’re an occasional traveller rather than a frequent flyer a Single Trip policy offers cover when you need it, without the commitment or expense of an Annual Multi-Trip policy.

Considerations:

  • Potentially higher costs: While cheaper for a Single Trip, multiple Single Trip policies can add up to more than an Annual Multi-Trip policy over time.
  • Need for repeated purchases: You'll need to buy a new policy for each trip.
  • No cover for domestic travel: Single Trip policies do not have cover when travelling within the UK.

Other factors to consider when choosing a travel insurance policy: 

Cover type: Annual Multi-Trip and Single Trip policies share some similarities, including benefits like trip cancellation, emergency medical expenses, and personal baggage cover. However, the limits and exclusions may vary between Standard and Explorer plans, so it’s essential to review the policy details carefully.

Trip duration: With Annual Multi-Trip insurance, each trip is typically limited to a specific number of days. Ensure the maximum trip duration aligns with your travel plans to avoid gaps in coverage. Single Trip policies offer more flexibility in trip duration. 

Travel companions: With an Annual Multi-Trip policy your children (aged under 18), if named on the policy, will also be covered (for free) when travelling with another adult for the full duration (365 days). A Single Trip policy will also include free cover for your children. However, cover ends when the Single Trip policy expires. 

Pre-existing medical conditions: Pre-existing medical conditions are not covered under either Annual Multi-Trip or Single Trip insurance policies. A pre-existing medical condition is defined as any medical or dental condition, or related complication that has required or is awaiting medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescribed medication, consultations, check-ups, surgery, tests or investigations in the 180 days before you buy or extend your policy or book your trip (whichever you do last). 

This is a summary only. It does not include all terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the plans described. Please refer to the actual plans for complete details of cover and exclusions.

Travel insurance for participating in team sport

Headed overseas to play in a team sport? You should consider a World Nomads travel insurance policy. Our policies are designed to safeguard your trip, so all you have to worry about is focusing on your game.

Why consider travel insurance for team sports?

Whether you’re headed to the UK to play cricket, the USA for ultimate frisbee, or somewhere in between for an entirely different team sport, travel insurance can be just as valuable when you’re traveling to play sports as it can be for your annual overseas vacations.

No matter where you’re headed or which team sports you’re planning to participate in, you should consider travel insurance — because plans go awry and mishaps can happen.

World Nomads Travel Insurance offers coverage for a number of team sports and adventure activities. Let's break down what this means for you:

  1. Cover for bags and valuables: when you arrive to your destination ready to play but your gear doesn’t. Our baggage travel insurance may be able to help replace necessary items, clothing, and other personal belongings.

  2. Cover for medical evacuation: cover for when you become injured or unwell and can’t participate in the team sport and need to be evacuated to a medical facility, or in the worst case scenario, back to your home country. Emergency evacuation coverage isn’t just for adventure-seekers who need adventure travel insurance; it’s also helpful for those contact sports and other team activities you might want to participate in while overseas.

  3. Repatriation back home: If you're declared medically unfit to continue your travels or in the unfortunate event of your passing, cover is available for your repatriation back home. This is subject to the reasonable recommendation of a medical practitioner appointed by us, ensuring that transportation is medically necessary and appropriate.

  4. Cover for the whole family: when you plan to bring the whole family overseas with you. When you have to be overseas for an extended period to play sport, it helps to know that if your family comes with you, our travel insurance may help with cover for your loved ones.

Does World Nomads travel insurance offer cover for other team activities I might want to do on my trip?

Absolutely. World Nomads offers cover for more than 150 activities, sports and experiences under our Standard and Explorer plans, from solo pursuits to team activities, such as:

  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • Cricket
  • Fencing
  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Tennis
  • Ultimate frisbee
  • Volleyball
  • Ice Hockey
  • Pickleball
  • And a heap more team sports.

Note: Not all team activities, sports, and experiences are covered under every travel insurance plan. Cover will depend on your Country of Residence and on the plan you have chosen. For example, some snow activities require a specific plan or upgrade to be selected when you purchase with World Nomads.

It’s always a good idea to read your policy wording carefully so you understand exactly what you’re covered for. And if you’re unsure, get in touch and we can help answer any questions you might have about travel insurance for team sports and other activities.

What else is covered by travel insurance?

Playing sport comes with its share of risk, but not all accidents or calamities happen on the field — or court, or ice-rink for that matter. Other times travel insurance may come in handy include:

  • A canceled trip: If you have no choice but to cancel your trip due to illness, injury, or any other unforeseen event covered under your policy, we may be able to help recoup the cost of things like your unused, non-refundable, pre paid accommodation, tours and flights.
  • A natural disaster: From tsunamis to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes to floods— natural disasters can take many forms. And there’s no shortage of ways they can spoil travel plans, closing airports, delaying flights, wiping out accommodation, and closing off entire towns. Check out our natural disaster coverage article to find out how travel insurance can help when nature goes rogue.
  • Cover for stolen baggage and gear: Whether you arrive to your destination, but your bags and sports gear don’t, your gear is damaged en-route, or you’re the victim of theft, we may be able to help. If your sports gear gets lost or stolen report it to your carrier or police ASAP, then get in touch with the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team who can help.
  • Overseas medical emergencies: Sports injuries are common. If you become injured while participating in team sports activities, we may be able to help with things like locating a doctor or hospital, medical bills, and medical evacuation. Depending on your Country of Residence, World Nomads also offers coronavirus cover for a range of coronavirus-related events.

What plans and options do you offer?

World Nomads offers two travel insurance plans: a Standard Plan and an Explorer Plan, each one has their own benefits, limits, and sub-limits of coverage. Our Explorer Plan offers higher benefit limits and/or sub-limits.

You can compare our Standard and Explorer plans and prices through getting an instant online quote.

Note: both our travel insurance plans are different, and cover varies, depending on what's happened, your Country of Residence, the plan you choose and any options or upgrades you buy.

What are some things trip insurance does not cover?

Because travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything, there are certain things we may not cover, such as:

  • If you simply change your mind and decide not to go .
  • If you don’t adhere to the recommendations of the Emergency Assistance team. Failure to do so or refusing repatriation home may result in limitations to your cover.
  • Participation in a sport or activity that is not covered under your policy (check your policy wording carefully).
  • Loss or theft of your bags or gear when they’re left unattended.
  • If you’re participating in a sport or activity professionally.

This is not an exhaustive list. For the full details of what is and isn’t covered, read over your policy wording carefully.

What to do in case of an emergency

If you're involved in an accident, suffer a sudden illness, serious injury, or unfortunately, in the event of your passing overseas, contact the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team as soon as possible.

They're available 24/7 to provide guidance and support. The team will assist in arranging emergency medical transport, directing you to the nearest appropriate medical facility, or organizing your repatriation back home for medical reasons if and when required.

Please note that not reaching out to the Emergency Assistance team may result in limitations or reductions in your cover, and please be aware that waiting periods may apply, so don't hesitate to get in touch.

Tips for doing team sports safely

Regardless which team sport you’re partial to, safety should be your primary concern. You might find these tips helpful when planning your team sports holiday:

  • Know your health and fitness limits: You may have played soccer since you were in school, or been physically active in other ways since, but it’s important to always exercise within your own capabilities. Consider your fitness levels and plan your sports and other activities accordingly.
  • Safety gear: Always wear appropriate safety gear when participating in any sport or activity — because heading out on a cricket field without your cup, for example, is not going to end well.
  • Keep your sports gear and other bags and items with you: Leaving your things unattended makes them a prime target for light fingers and swift snatching. Don’t make things easier for thieves.

True Claims Stories

  • Never travel without insurance. This was the first time I ever purchased travel insurance and I am so glad I did. A few days into my trip to Spain I twisted my foot heading down to the metro. Thanks to World Nomads I was able to get medical attention in Spain and since, as luck would have it, I had a fracture that required surgery, they got me a flight home the next day. Filing a claim was surprisingly easy and when the claim was finally processed, I was reimbursed for all of my expenses including things like the extra week in the hotel I didn't get to take advantage of.

  • I recently had a serious injury traveling on my own & the team was amazing. Being confused with a brain injury they took care of everything. Claiming was no problem, they were on the phone constantly to see if all was OK. I can't recommend them enough. Absolutely fantastic & l will always travel with World Nomads Insurance. Thanks guys for getting me home safely.

Whether you're planning an African safari to see the Big 5 in the Serengeti or watch zebras roam in Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, your adventure is sure to be unforgettable. But whenever you're overseas and surrounded by wildlife, you should be prepared for the unexpected. Our travel protection plans include a range of travel insurance benefits and non-insurance services for safaris that may help with everything from stolen bags to unexpected medical expenses.

Why should I consider travel insurance coverage for my safari trip?

To being diagnosed with malaria from a mosquito bite to having a monkey steal your passport , unexpected “monkey business” can derail even the most carefully planned safari. Travel insurance and non-insurance services designed for safaris may help you bounce back quickly with support for emergencies, delays, and disruptions. With coverage that is flexible to your needs, it’s a way to travel confidently, no matter where the journey takes you.

What travel insurance benefits may protect safari trips

As wildlife lovers ourselves, we’ve designed coverage for losses resulting from safaris while traveling. We also offer coverage for losses related to more than 250+ other sports, activities and experiences.

  1. Emergency Medical Expenses
    For broken bones, cuts, and sprains after a fall in the African bush

  2. Non-insurance Emergency Assistance
    Available 24/7 to assist in an emergency situation

  3. Baggage & Gear Coverage
    Protection for your stuff when you travel

  4. Trip Delays, Interruptions & Cancellations
    A money-saver if inclement weather keeps you from enjoying your safari.

Terms, conditions, and limitations apply to all mentioned coverages.

All plans include travel insurance coverage for safaris, as well as several additional non-insurance services that may support you both before and during your trip. These include delayed or lost baggage tracking and delivery, portable health records, and pre-departure telehealth services.

What level of travel insurance coverage for my safari do I need?

World Nomads offers four plans for U.S. residents – Standard, Explorer, Epic and Annual – each with different levels of coverage. Even if your main goal is to go on a safari, you may want to do other fun things too, like bushwalking in Botswana or whitewater rafting on the Zambezi River. That’s totally fine, because you may be covered for more than 250+ other sports, activities and experiences when you purchase travel insurance coverage for Africa.

  • Standard Plan – This is the most basic plan, but includes travel insurance coverage for incidents while on a safari, including up to $125,000 in emergency medical expenses and up to $2,500 for trip cancellation. 
  • Explorer Plan – This is for those trips you’ll be talking about for years to come! It covers more activities, including hot air ballooning and shark cage diving to 165 feet/50 meters. It also has higher limits of coverage for most benefits.
  • Epic Plan – This plan covers everything the Explorer plan covers, plus even more activities – including bouldering up to 26,247 feet/8,000 meters and cliff diving. It also has the highest benefit limits of coverage. 
  • Annual Plan – Weekend warriors, digital nomads, world explorers… this plan is for you. Just buy once and stay protected all year. It includes travel insurance coverage for safaris, as well as all of the other activities covered in the Standard Plan. 

NOMADS TIP: For even more trip cancellation flexibility, check out the optional ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ benefit. It can be added to Explorer and Epic plans. Available at an additional cost for U.S. residents, except in New York. Full terms apply.

What may not be covered by travel insurance plans for safaris?

Some things we may not cover include:

  • Unattended baggage or personal items
  • Not following ‘Do Not Travel’ warnings issued by the U.S. government prior to departure
  • Participation in other activities not listed as covered in your policy
  • Ignoring your doctor if they have advised in writing that you are not medically fit to travel.

Top safety tips we recommend for your safari

  • Do your research and book with an accredited and eco-friendly tour operator. 
  • Make sure your guide has a first-aid kit. It doesn’t hurt to have a small one in your backpack too – just in case. 
  • Follow your guide’s instructions at all times and view wildlife from a safe distance. 
  • Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Don’t be afraid to ask if the water is safe to drink when you are in remote locations.  
  • Take advantage of the pre-departure medical consultation included in your non-insurance services and see if prescription antimalarial medication or other vaccinations are recommended for your destination. Depending on the medication, you may need to start it prior to your trip. 
  • Wear long sleeves and long pants to help protect you from bug bites. 
  • Don’t wear open toed shoes when walking around in the bush. 
  • Check with the U.S. Department of State to see if they have issued any travel advisories for your destination. 
  • Enroll in the free Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to stay updated on emergency situations. 
  • Don’t try to handle big game or dangerous animals. 
  • Don’t walk around alone at night.
  • Take along a copy of the documents showing proof of your travel insurance coverage for safari tours. You may even want to save a copy in your phone so it is easily accessible

FAQ

Here are our most frequently asked questions about cover for safari. You can also find the answers to other questions in our Helpdesk or you can ask our customer service team

  • What should I do if I get hurt while on a safari?

    If you get hurt while on a safari, contact local authorities as soon as you’re able to do so for immediate attention. World Nomads Travel Insurance may help reimburse the cost of medical treatment, hospital stays, or even emergency medical evacuation if needed (subject to approval.) Access to a 24/7 Non-Insurance Emergency Assistance team is also included for support anytime, anywhere when you purchase a travel protection plan that includes travel insurance coverage for safaris. 

  • Do I get my money back if I cancel a trip?

    Trip cancelation coverage is offered by all plans offered by World Nomads, and you may be reimbursed for pre-paid, unused, non-refundable expenses like flights, safari tours and accommodations if your trip is cancelled for a covered reason. U.S. residents (except those that live in New York) also have the ability to add additional cancel for any reason coverage when certain World Nomads plans are purchased. 

  • What happens if my bags are delayed?

    When you purchase travel insurance coverage for safaris, baggage delay coverage is also included. If your checked-in bags are delayed more than 12 consecutive hours on the way to your destination, your plan may reimburse you for reasonable essential items like toiletries and a change of clothes until you and your bag are reunited. Your coverage also includes a non-insurance service that can help track down your bag and get it delivered to you.

A true claim story

  • Never travel without insurance. This was the first time I ever purchased travel insurance and I am so glad I did. A few days into my trip to Spain I twisted my foot heading down to the metro. Thanks to World Nomads I was able to get medical attention in Spain and since, as luck would have it, I had a fracture that required surgery, they got me a flight home the next day. Filing a claim was surprisingly easy and when the claim was finally processed, I was reimbursed for all of my expenses including things like the extra week in the hotel I didn't get to take advantage of.
    L. De Jesus,
    U.S. resident in Spain
  • I recently had a serious injury traveling on my own & the team was amazing. Being confused with a brain injury they took care of everything. Claiming was no problem, they were on the phone constantly to see if all was OK. I can't recommend them enough. Absolutely fantastic & l will always travel with World Nomads Insurance. Thanks guys for getting me home safely
    A.Brennan,
    Australian in Thailand
  • Just wanted to say thank you to this wonderful insurance company. When my husband notified the company that I had suffered a life threatening pulmonary embolism, World Nomads took care of everything. They contacted the hospital immediately and checked on my situation, A wonderful nurse called me everyday, speaking to doctors and making sure I understood what had happened and the course of my treatment. I would recommend World Nomads to every traveler. We are still travelling and until we return home will continue to insure with them.
    K.McMahon,
    Australian in Thailand
  • I was bitten by a monkey at the Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur. I went to a nearby clinic and they gave me a rabies shot, antibiotics to take for 4 days, pain medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can my kids travel on my Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance policy?
    Absolutely! And the best part? When you purchase a World Nomads Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance policy, any of your children aged under 18 that are named on the policy will be covered at no extra cost. And what’s more, your kids are also covered even if they go on holiday with another adult – a friend or relative for example. Please note exclusions will apply for pre-existing medical conditions.
  • Can I cancel my Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance?

    Of course. World Nomads customers have up to 21 calendar days from when we issue your Certificate of Insurance and policy wording to cancel your Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance policy. This is referred to as your cooling-off period. If you do choose to cancel your policy within the cooling-off period, we will refund your premium, provided that:

    • you haven’t travelled under your policy; and
    • you are not making a claim; and
    • you are not exercising any other right under the policy.
    If you cancel outside of the 21-day cooling-off period, no premium will be refunded. However, discretion may be exercised in exceptional circumstances to provide a refund for unused cover; those exceptional circumstances being bereavement or an unexpected change to your policy resulting in us being unable to continue to cover you. The unused premium will be calculated on a sliding scale basis

  • Is AMT cheaper than a single-trip policy?
    An Annual Multi-Trip policy is not cheaper than a Single-Trip policy as a single item purchase. However, it can be far more cost-effective if you plan on taking two or more trips in a year. You’re free to roam without having to purchase an individual policy every time the wanderlust takes hold with Annual Multi-Trip. Just remember to purchase a policy that will cover you for the areas you intend to travel to.
  • Does AMT cover domestic travel?
    Our Annual Multi-Trip policy offers cover if your country of residence is Ireland for both international and domestic travel.
  • Will my Annual Multi-Trip policy renew annually?
    World Nomads Annual Multi-Trip policies are not currently set-up to auto-renew. We will contact you four weeks in advance of your policy ending to let you know that it is set to expire and give you ample time to purchase your next policy, to avoid any unintended break in your period of cover. Upon your policy’s expiration you will no longer be covered.
  • Is there a limit on the duration of each trip with AMT?
    While there is no limit on the number of trips you can take each year with an Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance policy, there is a cap on the total number of days you can be away throughout the year. Trips are limited to 31 days under our Standard plan and 45 days under our Explorer plan. If your planned trip is longer than an Annual Multi-Trip permits you might want to consider taking out a single trip policy instead.
