Key Details of the Mandatory Travel Insurance:

  • • Effective Date: October 1, 2024.
  • • Cost: $44 USD per person for adults; $22 USD for children aged 3-17; free for children of and under 2 years old.
  • • Coverage Duration: Up to 92 days.
  • • Provider: Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC). Here is the official website https://visitzanzibar.go.tz/insurance

Coverage Includes:

  • • Repatriation expenses.
  • • Accident insurance under specified conditions.
  • • Baggage delay or damage.
  • • Theft and loss of property.
  • • Legal and other related expenses.

Important Considerations:

  • • Purchase Process: Travelers are advised to obtain the insurance prior to arrival through the official ZIC portal.
  • • Proof of Insurance: Visitors should carry proof of insurance purchase, as it may be required upon entry.

This policy underscores Zanzibar's commitment to providing a secure environment for tourists, ensuring they have access to necessary support in unforeseen circumstances.
