When we travel to Africa and the rest of the world, we usually book our trip by contacting directly the facilities we know and we ask for support from our local partners with whom we have established a relationship.
So, without buying a trip from an Italian travel agency and not relying on an Italian tour operator, we are uncovered from the insurance point of view.
It is true that when you organize a trip, you usually think only of the wonderful places you will visit and of the encounters that you will be doing while you tend not to consider the potential problems that may sometimes occur.
By touching wood, it is good to be wise and guard when traveling; there are many disadvantages that may happen: a lost baggage, a theft or a health problem.
To be safe and carefree, it is best to subscribe to an insurance policy, so you will not be able to face unsustainable expenses or other inconveniences; I am convinced that the cost, among other things, of a travel insurance, is the money best spent on the whole trip.
For this 5-week trip to 3 African countries, South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, we have chosen the Europ Assistance insurance policy; we are sure we will not need it and that everything will go to the best, but just in case, we know that they will take care of us, protecting us from small and big unexpected events.
