Jack45 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Hey! In Africa, it's crucial to have comprehensive medical coverage. Healthcare facilities can vary greatly, and in some remote areas, they might be sparse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonParsons Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Definitely agree. Also, consider getting insurance that covers emergency evacuations. This is especially important if you're venturing into more remote or wilderness areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommy55 Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 That makes sense. Should I also be looking at coverage for theft or loss, given I'll be moving between various countries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
