African insurance
 

Im departing in July '11 for an expedition I am doing in aid of improving education in Africa. I will be travelling through 35 countries in Africa. Can anyone recommend an insurance company for third party insurance. I have a SA registered vehicle and on a SA passport.
Thanks a million

There's many threads re this on the HUBB. You won't get a pan-African 3rd party insurance policy; you will need to buy it on arrival in each country, although I think there may be some sort of 'customs unions' between some clusters of countries eg Tanzania/Kenya/Uganda which mean insurance bought in 1 covers for the others.

Comprehensive ie for the vehicle and personal accident for yourself - that's a different matter. That CAN be bought for everywhere. Unsure re SA companies, but certainly the likes of Campbell Irvine in the UK do this.

Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe are covered by COMESA according to their website here:

I got their yellow card in 2005: make sure nobody crosses off countries you intend to visit!
