Animal Sanctuary Travel Insurance

What is an Animal Sanctuary?

An animal sanctuary is a facility where animals are brought to live and be protected for the rest of their lives. Big game sanctuaries, in particular, focus on large wild animals such as lions, elephants, and rhinos. These sanctuaries are crucial for conservation efforts, providing a safe haven for species affected by habitat loss, poaching, or those that cannot survive in the wild.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Visiting Animal Sanctuaries?
