Insurance benefits and claim services are provided by Access America.


Trip cancellation, interruption and medical insurance are required by both Cape to Cairo and most safari and tour operators in Africa and internationally as a condition of travel. Per Cape to Cairo Terms and Conditions of travel for land and for airfares, either Cape to Cairo, nor the operators who will provide your travel services  will assume responsibility for the consequences of delayed connections, missed flights, consequences of terrorism or acts of war, acts of nature, personal injury or damage or loss of personal property. Because of the likelihood of delays due to weather and unforeseen circumstances in Africa, and internationally we strongly recommend that travelers take out such insurance.
