Your safari in Uganda is without a doubt an experience of a lifetime – a journey you may have been planning for years. Understandably you don’t want to think about anything going wrong, but very occasionally it does, which is why we always recommend our clients take out travel insurance. In the unlikely case that you require urgent medical assistance during your Uganda safari, your care must be well arranged and fully covered.

In conjunction with AMREF Flying Doctors, In Motion Gorilla Safaris offers you the opportunity to register for the medevac Tourist Evacuation Scheme – emergency medical insurance giving you access to emergency air evacuation whenever it’s required, wherever you are, with all evacuation costs completely covered.

Why register with the Flying Doctor Services?

24-hour access to medical care. Registration guarantees access to medevac assistance around the clock, no matter how remote your location in Uganda.

Full coverage. An emergency air evacuation can easily cost thousands of dollars. The AMREF Tourist Evacuation Scheme fully covers the air ambulance, transport from the airstrip to hospital, and the first 24 hours of hospital care.

Easy and hassle-free. No dealing with third parties: simply ask In Motion Gorilla Safaris to sign you up, receive proof of registration, and in an emergency AMREF handles the paperwork and deals with your insurance company directly.

Minimal cost. Just US$15 per person for your entire safari (up to 30 days), whether you are travelling in Uganda, Rwanda, or any other East African country.

Supporting a charity. If you never need an evacuation, your fee automatically funds the AMREF Outreach Program and Charity Evacuation Flights – flying specialist surgeons to remote East African communities that have little or no access to medical or surgical services. Thanks to your contribution, more lives can be saved.
