Emergency Evacuation Coverage for Safaris | Exuberant Kilimanjaro Safaris
How emergency evacuation works on safari and climbs, including air evacuation partners, what is covered and how it relates to your travel insurance.
Safari Information
Emergency Evacuation Coverage
Remote parks mean the nearest hospital can be hours away by road. Emergency evacuation can be arranged across our safari and climb packages, coordinated by our guides on the ground.
What's covered
Evacuation can include emergency air or ground movement from the field to the nearest appropriate medical facility, coordinated directly by our guides on the ground.
How it's arranged
A guide may contact and coordinate with AMREF Flying Doctors and park authorities, but this does not guarantee an aircraft response. Where medically appropriate and available, an evacuation may involve AMREF Flying Doctors. A guide can request an evacuation using the communication equipment on the allocated vehicle, where coverage and equipment allow; we confirm the arrangement for your route in your written quotation.
Adding coverage to your trip
Optional AMREF Flying Doctors membership can be arranged through Exuberant for US$50 per client; the fee arranges registration and does not automatically guarantee or cover helicopter evacuation. Coverage can be added to any itinerary at booking — mention it when you enquire and we'll confirm the arrangements and any charge in your written quotation. Before travel, confirm the specific plan, registration, coverage period, waiting period, exclusions, possible additional charges and activation process.
Travel insurance
Evacuation coverage complements, but does not replace, comprehensive travel insurance. Park rescue fees cover mountain rescue arrangements only and are not a substitute for medical or evacuation insurance. See our Travel Insurance & Emergency Evacuation guide for mandatory inbound insurance and recommended international cover.
