Travel insurance for Zimbabwe unavailable
      #381064 - 09/12/23 02:22 PM

I been having a close look at the travel insurance policies available in Australia.
Every single one of the list hunting as an exclusion. So you are not covered
at all for any hunt related problem/ injury. Even if you’re just the camera man for a mate because he is hunting you are not covered either.
There are policies available to US and UK based hunters specifically for hunting
but they will not insure non residents.
Any suggestions where I can obtain cover for my hunt in Zim next June?

I think hunting wasn't covered when I went as well?

Is it ever covered on Australian policies? An outfitter might be able to help on what companies and policies are good. They may be more expensive.

The SSAA used to offer a decent policy. Or the insurance company which actually provided the insurance. Prior 2020 I had an annual policy which covered say up to 35 day trips both domestically and internationally. If the policy covers your firearms, it may cover hunting, at least not an exclusion. I reckon it wasn't excluded. Sorry I forget the company names.

Phone SSAA insurance.

Maybe if buying a normal policy see if a remote medical evacuation policy can be purchased. Getting on planes to decent medical care is a huge expensive if not otherwise covered.

Try Global Rescue. Their Travel Insurance is not the best but they may still cover hunting and will cover injuries and the cost of getting you to a decent hospital for you injuries. The hospital most likely will not be in Africa.

+1 on Global Rescue

Have never had to make a claim - but their phone service getting policies set up has been very good.

SSAA didn't cover hunting overseas when I asked them earlier in the year.

They changed the provider.

I used a different company which was better. All the details were on my failed laptop.

I think I used this mob for an annual policy covering multiple trips of a max of XX days. I think non professional hunting was not excluded. But they're not currently offering any travel insurance.

AIG Travel Insurance

AIG Australia’s direct leisure travel insurance products are currently unavailable. We’re taking some time to review these products, including Domestic Travel Insurance,
International Travel Insurance and Annual Multi Trip Travel Insurance, and making some upgrades to our aigtravel.com.au website to reenable online purchasing.

There’s no change to the availability of our Corporate Travel and Group Accident Personal Accident products, or AIG leisure travel insurance products sold via our airline distribution partners.

I'm guessing another plandemic casualty.
