Coronavirus & Travel To Africa
March 2020
Here at the Nasio Trust we are keeping a close eye on the government’s travel advice regards coronavirus (COVID-19):

As of 10th March 2020 neither Kenya or Tanzania are on the list of countries for which the UK Government has given specific advice but of course this changes almost daily. We recommend anyone planning to travel to Kenya to visit our projects, or to Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro, also keeps up to date with the Government’s guidelines.
The gov.uk website references this link to the Association of British Insurers (ABI) for specific Q&As around insurance impacts which may be useful.
Reading recommendations in the media it seems wise to ensure you have your travel insurance in place at the same time as your flight bookings are made. Here is one article which advises to get your insurance as soon as you book your flights to make sure you’re covered in an ever-changing environment.
If you end up having to reschedule your trip to Kenya, which we hope won’t be the case but obviously we understand may be, we at Nasio will work with you to reschedule your visit regards your accommodation, food and local airport pick-ups as required but you will of course be responsible for handling changes for your flights.
Please do contact us if you have any questions or if we can be of any further help.
