Whenever you go abroad on holiday you should always ensure that you have valid travel insurance to cover you whilst you’re away. Many banks are now offering free travel insurance as part of your bank account privileges, but you need to check what exactly you are covered for and if it only covers you or you and all your family.
If you do not have valid insurance you may find yourself liable for thousands of pounds worth of medical bills should you be involved in an accident resulting in hospital treatment needed. Travel insurance often also covers you for loss of luggage, holiday cancellations and emergency accommodation.
If you are going on a safari holiday then you will need to notify your insurance company as you may find that your current policy doesn’t cover you and you need to upgrade or go elsewhere. If you do need to go elsewhere then always use a comparison site to see what the best deals are around.
