FAQ ABOUT INSURANCE WITH PATHFINDER SAFARIS

- Is the same insurance applicable for evacuation on Mount Meru? Yes, coverage obtained for Mt. Kilimanjaro (up to 6000m) also safeguards clients on Mt. Meru.
- What if a client lacks the specified insurance? Direct the client to their insurance provider, emphasizing the importance of Medical Evacuation coverage up to 6000m.
