🐍 What If There's an Emergency?

If you step on a snake, experience sudden illness, or injure yourself on safari, help is a call away. Flying Doctors will either guide you remotely or dispatch a medical flight to evacuate you to a top hospital in Nairobi or Moshi.

From the Serengeti to Queen Elizabeth Park or Masai Mara — you’re covered.

📋 What's Included in Coverage?

  • 🚁 Emergency air evacuation to a designated hospital
  • 🧪 Onboard medical staff and equipment
  • 📞 24/7 medical advice hotline
  • 🚑 Transfer to Nairobi or Moshi hospital

🔍 Note: This service covers transport only — hospital bills, visas, and treatment are your responsibility. It’s not a replacement for travel insurance.

⛰️ Kilimanjaro & Meru Coverage

Helicopter evacuations are available for Mount Kilimanjaro based on altitude, weather, and weight limits. Mount Meru climbs are not covered at all under Flying Doctors.

📌 Always check that your travel insurance covers trekking and mountain evacuation.

🛡️ Travel & Cancellation Insurance

  • ✅ Travel insurance for medical, baggage, and theft
  • ✅ Cancellation insurance for long-haul or pre-paid trips

Always confirm what’s included with your provider — especially for pre-existing conditions, trekking, and high-risk activities.

⚠️ Important: Nature is beautiful but unpredictable. Since 1957, AMREF Flying Doctors has offered a safety net to safari guests — giving you the freedom to explore East Africa with confidence.
