Why should you take out Africa travel Insurance ?
Very few people travel to Africa without insurance as they are aware of the medical limitations of some developing nations, coupled with the fact that you are more likely to undertake hazarous yet fun activities in somewhere like Africa. There's elephant trekking, micro-lighting above the Zambezi, bunjee jumping, hot air ballooning, surfing and much more to enjoy, so make sure you are covered for all these and more before you set off on the adventure of a lifetime.
The thing to remember is that illness and injury can happen anywhere, as can stolen or damaged luggage, however due to the limitations of some medical facilties in Africa it is wise to make sure that you have medical expenses cover and repatriation cover (this enables you to be taken back to NZ if it is medically required).
Backpacker Travel Insurance Policy - Best for Backpackers
For young travellers headed to Africa aged 40 years and under, we recommend our 'Backpacker Policy.' It covers you for medical expenses and repatriation, cancellation and curtailment of your trip, personal accident, baggage and personal effects, travel delay, hijack, personal liability and legal expenses and missed departure.

Another benefit of taking out Africa travel insurance, is that it will also cover you for travel throughout the world (excluding the USA, Canada and Japan). So you can travel Africa and then head off to Europe to complete your world tour knowing you're insured the entire time.
