Travel Protection for Discovering Africa

Global Rescue Memberships Available Through Knap Tours

At Knap Tours, we believe that a safari is one of the most inspiring and life-changing journeys you can experience. From the iconic landscapes of Kruger National Park to the waterways of Chobe and the wonders of Victoria Falls, Africa offers adventure, wildlife, and cultural richness unlike anywhere else on Earth.

However, safari travel also takes you into some of the most remote and untamed regions of the world. While that remoteness is part of the magic, it also means that access to advanced medical care or emergency support may be limited.

That is why Knap Tours is proud to partner with Global Rescue LLC, the world’s leading provider of medical evacuation, field rescue, and travel security services.

With Global Rescue travel protection available through Knap Tours, you can explore Africa with greater peace of mind, knowing expert support is always within reach — no matter how far into the wilderness your journey takes you.
