Some people like to go wild when they are traveling, and some people like to go into the wild. If your version of wild involves searching for the Big 5 in the Serengeti or Maasai Mara, you’re our kind of person.
Just imagine-you’re bouncing around in your rugged 4x4 jeep as you trek through Kruger National Park in South Africa. Will today be the day you see a herd of elephants crossing the Sabie River or a lioness out on a hunt with her cub?
You’re then quickly shaken from your daydream by a loud thud on the hood of your jeep. You make eye contact with a leopard before he leaps off and runs into the bush. It’s a memory that you’ll be bragging about for years to come. However, in that moment, all the “what-ifs” also come to mind... should you have considered a travel insurance plan with adventure sports cover?
Should I consider adventure travel insurance for a safari?
There is such an allure of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat, but you have to remember - these majestic creatures can sometimes have erratic behavior. If you’re on a safari with an experienced guide, the chances of something happening are minimal. When you’re dealing with wildlife though, anything can happen.
You’ve surely heard about the rare incidents of people being ambushed by a hippo or trampled by an elephant. If you get injured, you’re going to need immediate medical care. Travel insurance could help reimburse you for expenses like x-rays, prescription medications, a hospital stay, or other emergency medical needs you may have if you get hurt on your safari.
Does travel insurance cover other adventure activities I might participate in during my trip?
You may be going to Zambia on a mission to see zebras roaming freely at Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, but you may also decide to hike the Boiling Pot trail near Victoria Falls or go whitewater rafting on the Zambezi River while you are there.
World Nomads offers adventure travel insurance that covers more than 150 activities. When you get a quote, you can select your country of residence, and easily compare our Standard and Explorer plans side by side. The Explorer plan has higher limits and sub-limits of coverage, and for some countries of residence, it includes additional covered activities. Depending on your country of residence, you may need to add activities to your policy when you purchase it. Check out both plan options, because only you can decide the best travel insurance for your needs.
If you aren’t sure if something is covered, contact our customer service team and they can help explain what each policy includes.
What else is covered by travel insurance?
In addition to emergency medical cover, international travel insurance could help with several other unexpected situations you may encounter on your safari. Depending on your country of residence, World Nomads may also offer cover for:
- Baggage and Gear: If the airline lost the bag that held your binoculars, baggage insurance may help reimburse the cost to replace them if your bag was lost by a common carrier.
- Trip Interruption and Cancellation Insurance: If your travel buddy gets severe food poisoning from something he ate, it may put a screeching halt to your plans. If something unexpected happens and you need to cancel or interrupt your trip, you may be able to recover your unused, prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses.
- Evacuation: If you’re going on a safari, there’s a good chance you may be in a remote destination where there aren't nearby medical facilities. If something happens and you need to get immediate medical care, the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team could help get you transported to a place that offers the level of care you need.
What are some things trip insurance would not cover?
If you have too many glasses of South African wine at lunch and then try to sneak up to a sleeping lion to grab a selfie, you won’t be covered if that goes terribly wrong. Travel insurance won’t cover you if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol while you are on your safari. It’s also important that you follow the guidance of your safari guide at all times and view wild animals from a safe distance. Some other things that are not covered include:
- Any pre-existing medical condition(s) as explained in the policy wording
- Wandering from camp on your own, leaving your guide and common sense behind
- Not following government ‘Do Not Travel’ warnings issued prior to departure
- Participation in other activities not listed as covered in your policy
Tips for preparing for your safari adventure
One thing our team at World Nomads definitely recommends is making sure your camera stays fully charged at all times. You never know what you may see at any given moment. It’s also a really good idea to bring an extra camera battery along. Trust us on this one-you don’t want to miss the money shot!
It’s also important to stay safe on your safari adventure because you don’t want it to get cut short. Here are a few of our tips:
- Do your research and book with an accredited tour operator.
- Follow your guide’s instructions at all times and view wildlife from a safe distance.
- Wear boots and socks when walking around in the bush.
- Talk to your doctor to see if prescription antimalarial medication is recommended. Depending on the medication, you may need to start this prior to your trip.
- Check with your country’s government health department to see if they have issued any health advisories for your destination.
- Don’t be afraid to ask if the water is safe to drink when you are in remote locations.
This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy. You should read your policy wording in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch

You’ve surely heard about the rare incidents of people being ambushed by a hippo or trampled by an elephant.

However, travel insurance could help reimburse you for expenses like x-rays, prescription medications, a hospital stay, or other emergency medical needs you may have if you get hurt on your safari. You will still need to have Government Health Insurance Plan (GHIP) coverage in your home province while you are on your trip though. If you don’t, your total limit for all emergency medical expenses during your trip is limited to CAD $40,000.
Does travel insurance cover other adventure activities I might participate in during my trip?

World Nomads covers more than 250 activities for Canadian residents. When you get a quote, you can check out our Standard and Explorer plans to compare coverage side by side and decide on the best travel insurance coverage for your needs.
You will need to list all of the activities that you plan to participate in while on your trip at the time that you purchase your policy. You won’t be able to add or remove activities after you make your purchase, so make sure you add them all at that time.
Level 1 activities like safari tours and whitewater rafting (grades 1-5) are automatically covered, but these will still need to be listed when you purchase your policy. However, you will need to pay an additional premium to be covered for Level 2 and Level 3 activities like bouldering and hang gliding. Special conditions may also apply. If you are planning on participating in an activity that isn’t listed in our policy wording, you will need to contact us to determine if you will be covered.
What else is covered by travel insurance?
In addition to emergency medical coverage, international travel insurance may help with several other unexpected emergency situations you may encounter on your trip. For Canadian residents, World Nomads may also offer coverage for:
- Baggage and Gear: If the airline lost the bag that held your binoculars, baggage insurance may help reimburse the cost to replace them if your bag is lost by a common carrier. If your baggage going to your destination is delayed by an airline or ground carrier for 12 hours or more, you may also be reimbursed for things like toiletries or a change of clothes until you are reunited with your bag. Check the policy wording for complete details of coverage, conditions, and exclusions.
- Trip Interruption and Cancellation Insurance: If your travel buddy gets severe food poisoning from something he ate, it may put a screeching halt to your plans. If something unexpected happens and you need to cancel or interrupt your trip, you may be able to recover your unused, prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses. Check the policy wording for a full list of the cover risks.
- Evacuation: If you’re going on a safari, there’s a good chance you may be in a remote destination where there aren't nearby medical facilities. If something happens and you need to get immediate medical care, the World Nomads 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team could help get you transported to a place that offers the level of care you need.

Travel Insurance for Cycling and E-Biking
Take life by the handlebars and check out World Nomads travel insurance plans when cycling on your next adventure.
- Trusted by:
Trusted by:
For lovers of cycling, traveling through a city or a whole region on two wheels can be an eye-opening experience. It can help you get in shape, it’s environmentally friendly, and you get to make as many pit stops to rest and explore as you want. E-biking has added an extra level of awesomeness to the cycling scene, opening it up to travelers of all abilities.
But with all the positives of cycling, there’s also the chance that you could suffer an accident and end up with a sprained ankle, a broken arm, or even worse, end up in the hospital due to a major accident. That’s why you should consider travel insurance if you need to “cover your tracks”.
What’s covered with travel insurance for cycling?
Are you hoping to enjoy some “me time” and do some independent touring on your bike? Or are you wanting to make new friends and join an organized cycling tour? Either way, travel insurance could help with several aspects of your trip. For US residents, World Nomads may offer coverage for:
- Baggage and Gear: If you checked your bike in with a common carrier, and it is delayed by more than 12 hours on the way to your destination, you may be eligible for reimbursement of a rental bike to continue your journey. If your bike is permanently lost or damaged by the airline or ground carrier, travel insurance could help you get reimbursement to replace it. Review your policy to get information on maximum limits and depreciation.
- Emergency Medical Coverage: Cycling through the Alps and taking in the fresh air can be great for the body and the mind, but not if it ends up in a bad injury. Emergency medical coverage could help reimburse you for expenses like an ambulance transfer, medication, or a hospital stay. If you get hurt, your health insurance may not always cover you when you are traveling to destinations outside of your network or plan.
- Evacuation: Your cycling route may be far away from medical facilities. If you take the road less traveled and get hurt, the World Nomads 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team could help get you transported to a place that offers the level of care you need.
- Trip Cancellation Insurance: If something unexpected happens like an illness or injury, and you need to cancel or interrupt your trip, you may be able to recover your unused, prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses.
Does travel insurance cover other adventure activities I might participate in during my trip?
Cycling may be the main reason for your trip but think about all of the other fun things that you might be doing as well. Are you planning to take part in even more sports and adventures during your travels?
World Nomads offers adventure travel insurance that covers more than 200 activities for US residents– you can have coverage for activities like deep sea fishing, pickleball, and snowshoeing. When you get a quote, you can easily compare our Standard and Explorer travel insurance plans side by side. The Explorer plan has higher limits and sub-limits of coverage, and also includes more activities such as tandem skydiving and cave diving to 165 feet.
Check out both options, because only you can decide the best travel insurance for your needs. If you aren’t sure if something is covered, contact our customer service team and they can help explain what each policy includes.
What's not covered with travel insurance?
Travel insurance can assist with a lot, but there are some things it doesn’t cover. Cycling on Yungas Road in Bolivia is one of those things. It has earned the title of “Death Road” for a reason, so we don’t advise you to take on that adventure, and we won’t offer coverage if you do. Some other things that are not covered include:
- Bicycles or e-bikes damaged while in use
- Any pre-existing medical condition(s) as explained in the policy wording
- Cycling at a professional level
- Injuries that happen if you are cycling under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Cycling within 100 miles of your home
Tips for preparing for your cycling trip
As cyclists ourselves, we have learned that it helps to be prepared. Before you hit the road with your bike, helmet and gear, check out a few of our personal tips for having the best cycling trip ever.
- Check you have all your paperwork. Make sure you have all of your appropriate documents before you leave for your trip. This can include things like proof of any required vaccinations, visitor permits if you plan to visit any national parks, and special tourist visas for the countries you’ll be visiting,
- Be responsible when choosing a cycling destination or activity. Does the cycling tour suit your experience level? Are there any travel or weather alerts for your destination? Have you got a ‘fit for travel’ thumbs up from your doctor to take on the mountains and specific altitudes?
- Wear a helmet and visible clothing. This should be a no-brainer, but it’s still worth mentioning because in many countries around the world, the locals don’t wear helmets when cycling. Another no-brainer is if you’re planning to ride at night, you should wear high visibility clothing to make sure other riders and vehicles see you.
- Make sure your bike is set up correctly before you ride. Check the saddle, pedals, handlebars and tire pressure before you set forth on your journey.
- Save your receipts. Hopefully you will have a perfect trip and won’t need to make a claim. But if you do have a mishap, make sure to save all supporting documentation such as receipts of your purchases.
This is not a full list of what is and isn’t covered, so please check your policy for a full list of terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may apply to your specific plan. Any example scenarios provided above are not a guarantee of coverage. All claims are subject to review, require documentation and are considered individually. If you have any questions about what is and is not covered, please reach out – we’re happy to help.
