Your visit to Uganda is without a doubt an experience of a lifetime. A journey that you have been looking forward to for years. And understandably you do not want to think of anything that can go wrong.

But in the unfortunate case that you do require urgent medical assistance during your safari, you better make sure that your medical care is well arranged and fully covered.

In conjunction with AMREF Flying Doctors, Great Lakes Safaris offers you the opportunity to register for the Tourist Evacuation Scheme. This insurance enables you to have access to emergency air evacuation, whenever it is required and wherever you are, and the costs are completely covered.

Why register with the Flying Doctor Services?

           24 Hours access to medical care
              Signing up for the Flying Doctor Services guarantees you access
              to medical assistance 24 hours a day, no matter how remote you
              are located.
           Full coverage
              An emergency air evacuation is very costly and your expenses
              can easily go up to thousands of dollars. Being registered with
              the AMREF Tourist Evacuation Scheme you will receive full
              coverage for the air ambulance, transport from the airstrip to the               hospital and the first 24 hours of admission at the hospital.
           Easy and hassle-free
              No dealing with third parties. Great Lakes Safaris will sign you
              up and you will receive proof of your registration. In case of any               emergency, AMREF will deal with the paper works and your               insurance company directly.
           Minimal costs
              The cost for the insurance is minimal; only USD $15 per person
              for your entire safari (max. 30 days), whether you are travelling
              in Uganda, Rwanda or any other East African country.
           Supporting a Charity
              If you have been registered for the Flying Doctor Services but do
              not need any evacuation after all, your money will automatically               fund the AMREF Outreach Program and Charity Evacuation               Flights.

These special programs support the local communities in East Africa that require urgent and immediate care, but do not have access to medical assistance, nor have the money to pay for such expenses. Thanks to your contribution, people can be safely delivered into expert medical care and more lives can be saved!
