Travel insurance is a plan that you buy to protect yourself against specific financial risks and losses that can occur whilst you travel abroad. These financial risks and losses range from your baggage delivery being delayed to legal assistance to significant events such as a last-minute trip cancellation or a medical emergency. Our cover can be purchased for trips into and out of Tanzania. The cover can be taken out for short or long international trips and is usually elective, which means you can decide whether to buy it or not.

ICEA LION covers you for emergency medical expenses incurred as a result of injury or illness while travelling outside Tanzania and travelling to Tanzania from other countries.
ICEA LION pays for expenses incurred up to the maximum stated amount outlined in the Schedule of Benefits in your policy document. These include follow-up treatment for injury or illness as well as optical or dental conditions arising from an injury which was first treated outside Tanzania, during your insured journey. This treatment must be undertaken within 30 days of return to Tanzania.
In the event you suffer an illness or injury that is covered under the medical expenses and that requires you to be transported to another location or to return you to Tanzania via emergency air, land or water transportation to obtain medical treatment, then ICEA LION will pay for the cost of the required services including the necessary accompanying medical staff.
In the event that you are hospitalized due to sudden illness or because of an accident for more than ten days or in the event of your unfortunate demise, ICEA LION will meet the cost in respect of one immediate family member accompanying you at the moment of the event and who resides in Tanzania with you provided that this family member is unable to travel by his or her own means of transport used for the initial trip.
If you, during your insured journey, suffer illness or injury, ICEA LION will pay the reasonable extra travel and accommodation expenses, for one person to travel to, remain with, or accompany you back to Tanzania. This is subject to the medical advice provided by the medical team and ICEA LION’s written agreement.
In the unfortunate event of your demise, ICEA LION will pay the reasonable costs of returning your mortal remains to Tanzania, or the reasonable funeral-related costs if your body is buried or cremated at the place where you passed on.
In the unfortunate event you have to cut short your journey due to the death of an immediate family member, ICEA LION will meet the cost of travel back to Tanzania if you are unable to travel by your own means of transport. This will be reimbursed to you upon provision of the requested documents when you make the claim.
In the event you require emergency dental treatment during your journey, for relief from sudden and acute pain by the application of antibiotics, temporary dressings or extraction or injury to your teeth (providing this is in conjunction with sudden and acute pain), ICEA LION will reimburse for the reasonable dental expenses incurred. This will be reimbursed to you upon provision of the requested documents when you make the claim, so it is important to review the documentation provided to you prior or during travel.
