Travel Insurance for Your Tanzania & Zanzibar Adventure

At Matiya Tours & Safaris, we want your journey to be seamless and worry-free. That’s why we strongly recommend securing travel insurance before embarking on your adventure. Whether you are going on a thrilling safari, relaxing on Zanzibar’s pristine beaches, or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, travel insurance provides peace of mind and protects you against the unexpected.

Why Travel Insurance is Essential

Travel insurance safeguards you from financial loss or disruptions caused by unforeseen events. It can cover:

• Trip Cancellations or Changes – If emergencies like illness or natural disasters force you to cancel or adjust your plans.

• Medical Emergencies – Coverage for accidents, injuries, or sudden illness during your trip.

• Lost or Stolen Items – Reimbursement for luggage, cameras, or other valuables.

• Emergency Rescue & Evacuation – Vital for remote safaris or mountain expeditions.

When selecting a policy, ensure it includes:

✅ Medical coverage & emergency rescue
✅ Repatriation (medical evacuation back home)
✅ Trip cancellation & curtailment
✅ Personal liability
✅ Coverage for lost luggage & personal belongings
