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. Unlike big game sanctuaries, these often focus on smaller or domestic animals such as cats, dogs, birds, and farm animals. These sanctuaries provide a crucial role in the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of animals that have been abused, abandoned, or are in need of special care.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Visiting Animal Sanctuaries?

Yes. While visiting animal sanctuaries is generally safe, unexpected incidents can occur, such as minor injuries, health issues from the environment, or travel interruptions. Travel insurance can help cover medical expenses, lost or damaged personal items, and unforeseen travel changes.
