Solitaire is a tiny, almost surreal settlement on the edge of the Namib Desert—part gas station, part bakery, part time capsule.

Travel insurance isn’t just a formality—it’s your safety net when exploring remote landscapes, wild national parks, and international borders. Here’s what every traveler should understand before they go:

✅ What It Should Cover

1. Emergency Medical & Evacuation

   • Covers accidents, illness, and transport to proper medical facilities (crucial in remote areas).

2. Trip Cancellation & Interruption

   • Reimburses you if you have to cancel or cut your trip short due to covered reasons.

3. Lost or Delayed Baggage

   • Helps recover costs if luggage is lost, delayed, or stolen en route.

4. Adventure Activities

   • Ensure your policy covers safaris, bush walks, mokoro trips, or helicopter flights.

5. COVID-19 & Quarantine

   • Look for policies that include pandemic-related disruptions, medical treatment, or quarantine expenses.

6. Repatriation

   • Covers return of remains or emergency transport home in extreme cases.

???? Top Tips

• Declare pre-existing conditions honestly—undeclared issues may void your coverage.
