Seeking a reputable travel insurer who will cover while abroad?

I used Travel Insured myself, but there are others of course. I would suggest just trying each one to see what you can find. I would start by going to Squaremouth and comparing the various policies. Or just look at all the providers they compare, and start going down the list. https://www.squaremouth.com/travel-insurance-providers

Insure My Trip is similar to Squaremouth. You might want to check them as well.

Check out Allianz Insurance and consider getting a year long policy.

I did not check this but I wonder if World Nomads would work for you. They covered me when I couldn’t use my Allianz annual policy (trip length).

If you have an AmEx card, use American Express for medical coverage and evacuation.

Izzie, what kind of coverage are you looking for? Financial? Medical? Medical evacuation?

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies! because I was under a time constraint. I bought a plan from IMG international medical global. They were willing to ensure me while in Zimbabwe through when I return home. it was a little dear, but I took it for peace of mind

And in answer to your question what I was looking for was medical evacuation and expenses only, aa all other insurance needs I will rely upon my Chase Sapphire card to cover me.

I will consider all of your suggestions when I next plan a trip abroad thank you so much!

Following with great interest...............

My "guess" is since you are already there, POSSIBLY, traditional trip insurance companies may shy away.

But, following to see what others say and what ultimately works out for you (please update us).

For medical insurance, try GeoBlue (both medical and medical evacuation)...they are somehow tied in with BlueCross.

Just by the nature of WHAT you will be doing, too, that could appear "risky" to insurers (so you might need the additional coverage of ....I can recall what it is called...something like "extreme sports"....the rider that covers stuff like hot air balloons, sky diving, etc.

Very interesting challenge.........sincere best wishes. What an experience you will have with those elephants :)

Ooops...my posting, I noticed, was typed just as you were typing your update. Thanks for letting us all know how it worked out, and be safe.......and TOTALLY ENJOY that special experience :)
