Travel Insurance for South Africa

To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.

You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.

If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine or any booster jab, then you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.

If you’re looking for Single Trip Travel Insurance, you just need to tell us you’re going to South Africa. For Annual Travel Insurance for South Africa, pick our ‘Region 3’ Worldwide cover to include South Africa, and other African countries in your travel plans.

You can make changes to your policy before your trip starts, subject to the T&Cs of your policy.

If you need to update your medical details or add any optional extras, please login to your My Staysure account. You might need to pay an extra premium.

Please note, we can’t reduce your cover in return for a partial refund. So, check you’re happy you’ve got the right level of cover when you take out your policy.

As long as your safari activities were organised in the UK, you’ll be covered by our travel insurance.

To make sure it’s safe to travel to South Africa, check the FCDO’s travel advice before you set off and while you’re on holiday.

If the government advise against all but essential travel to South Africa, and you decide to travel against travel advice, your policy would become invalid and would no longer cover you if you needed to make a claim.

Most holidays to South Africa are completely trouble-free.

If the area you’re travelling to experiences an earthquake, fire, flood, or hurricane that leads to the government issuing advice against travelling there, then you’ll be covered to cancel with all of our policies as standard.
