Cancellation policy

A comprehensive travel insurance policy for each traveler in your group is highly recommended. We recommend 100% cancellation coverage and a minimum $25,000 benefit per person for medical insurance. Medical evacuation insurance is required in most destinations. Once your trip is confirmed, we will send you a travel insurance quote. Please note that we need your Registration Confirmation form(s), signed Terms and Conditions, and deposit to generate your travel insurance quote. Travelers with a pre-existing condition must obtain coverage within 15 days of paying a trip deposit in order to secure coverage for their condition. The provider we work with is Travel Guard. Rothschild Safaris strongly suggests a comprehensive travel protection plan prior to traveling. At minimum, Rothschild Safaris requires each traveler to purchase an Emergency Medical Evacuation plan.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
