Travel insurance is insurance which covers things like cancellations of trips, lost luggage and so forth. This kind of insurance is very much an optional extra on a tour of this nature. Medical insurance however is very important in the event of a serious accident or medical emergency. If someone is injured or becomes ill in the desert it can be a costly procedure to transport them to the safety of a hospital, as chances are they may have to be airlifted. For this reason it is very important to have adequate medical cover when embarking on a desert 4×4 safari.
