Travel Insurance - South Africa
For a country of its size, South Africa has an extremely diverse culture with people that come from a variety of races and castes and has over 11 official languages. The country has been extremely influential in world politics and is known world over for being one of the largest exporters of gold. A curious blend of the extremely affluent and unfortunately underdeveloped, South Africa is still slowly recovering from its wounds of apartheid. However, the excellent administration and its warm-hearted people have helped improve living conditions to a great extent, which in turn has significantly boosted tourism. The country’s extensive wildlife makes for excellent excursions to natural reserves such as those at Rustenburg. Visitors looking for an adrenaline should book a rafting tour on the Orange River located on the border to Namibia. An opportunity to taste a bottle of vintage pinotage produced by the oldest wine industry outside Europe should not be missed. For the first-time traveller, a trip to the famous Robben Island—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for being used as a prison by the Portuguese, British and Dutch—is highly recommended.

Our expertly designed policies allow you to let go of all your worries, and enjoy your entire trip and stay to its fullest, without having to worry about problems like passport loss, baggage loss, or even grave matters like medical expenses in case of emergencies.
