Flying Doctors Services
Are you planning your safari?
Let us help you create the right choice.
When organizing your safari adventure in East Africa, concerns about potential medical emergencies in remote locations can be daunting. Fortunately, AMREF Flying Doctors provides a reliable solution with their 24/7 flying ambulance service, staffed by skilled doctors and pilots ready to assist you anywhere in East Africa. For just $40 per person, you can enjoy peace of mind for 30 days, allowing you to explore the stunning landscapes of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda without fear.
Snake encounter
In a medical crisis, Flying Doctors stands ready to provide expert guidance or swiftly transport you to a hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. Imagine, for instance, that you accidentally step on a snake while exploring Kenya’s Masai Mara; with just a phone call, you can access professional advice that could help you continue your adventure safely. Or consider this: if you suffer a severe leg injury while boarding a boat in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park, or if a pre-existing health issue flares up unexpectedly in the heart of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park (let’s hope it doesn’t!), a dedicated team of medical professionals can be at your side in no time. They will ensure you are flown to the nearest airstrip and transported directly to a Nairobi hospital, where you can receive the comprehensive care you need.
Limitations
Flying Doctors is committed to evaluating the necessary assistance and provides coverage solely for emergency aid and transportation. However, expenses related to visas (for those traveling from outside Kenya to Nairobi) and hospital treatment are your responsibility. This service does not substitute the requirement for health or travel insurance. While AMREF Flying Doctors can facilitate the visa process to ensure timely access to medical care, it’s essential to be prepared for all potential costs. For those planning mountain climbs, it’s crucial to understand that Flying Doctors Insurance does not include coverage for mountain evacuations. Therefore, ensure that your travel insurance adequately covers this specific type of evacuation.
Rest assured
Your safety is our top concern, which is why we are excited to assist you in enrolling in the Flying Doctors Insurance. Throughout your safari experience, we strive to ensure everything runs smoothly, and 99 percent of our clients return with unforgettable memories of their adventure. However, it’s important to remember that you are venturing into a wild and unpredictable environment, where nature reigns supreme and surprises can arise. Since 1957, Flying Doctors has been providing peace of mind for safari enthusiasts, allowing you to embrace the thrill of adventure without the worry. After all, we all appreciate a little excitement—just not too much!
