Safely enjoy your travels with
our travel insurance policies
An affordable insurance specifically for TMR volunteers
Worldwide travel insurance
Whether you are travelling for 1 week or 6 months, travel insurance is an essential and compulsory part of your adventure. So, if you are releasing baby turtles in Sri Lanka, teaching in Vietnam or tracking the Big Five in South Africa, having adequate insurance in place will help you to enjoy your travels.
We have teamed up with battleface to create an affordable and comprehensive travel insurance policy specifically for The Mighty Roar volunteers. You can be safe in the knowledge that this optional policy is specifically designed to ensure TMR volunteers have cover for their travel essentials
Our comprehensive insurance policy will cover you for all of our volunteering programmes, except several animal projects that require our close encounter option. The close encounter option provides cover when volunteering at the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa Big Cat Sanctuary, South Africa Primate Sanctuary, Thailand Elephant Refuge Centre and Zimbabwe Elephant & Rhino Sanctuary. When applying for your chosen programme, you will only be shown the correct policy applicable to that programme.
Although it isn’t the most exciting part of organising your trip, getting adequate travel insurance is a compulsory part of your TMR volunteer program. The policy is available to anyone up to the age of 65 and covers you throughout any TMR Project and any onward travel you may arrange.
It is important that you make sure you’re covered for the whole time you are away, this includes the days spent traveling to and from your volunteer destination. So when working out which duration of cover to purchase you need to count the days you will be away including the day you fly out and the day you return home. As standard, our travel insurance will provide an additional two days cover on top of the duration selected. As an example, a two week policy will provide insurance cover for a total of 16 days (2 weeks + 2 days).
If you’d like to purchase insurance from us, you can easily add this on when applying under the optional extras page. Alternatively, if you have already signed up, you can simply login to your My Trip account and click Request TMR Travel Insurance.
