Q: Who Will Assist Me

Whether you’re dealing with a medical emergency in a remote safari lodge or a safety incident en route to your destination, TravelSafe SOS provides 24/7 emergency support and responder dispatch throughout East and Southern Africa. Our trusted network includes accredited clinics, hospitals, paramedics, private security teams, and helicopter evacuation services. An experienced paramedic is always on standby to guide you through medical emergencies—offering critical first-response instructions while help is en route. You’ll receive detailed assistance until professionals reach your location, wherever you are in the bush or city.

Q: Will TravelSafe SOS assist me if I have a vehicle breakdown?
