A safari company should be defined by its guides — not its marketing.

Southern CircuitEmergency air evacuation cover across East Africa for safari and Kilimanjaro travellers.
AMREF Flying Doctors provides emergency air evacuation from the field to a suitable hospital anywhere in their East Africa network. For safari guests and Kilimanjaro climbers, this is one of the most useful extras you can arrange. Tourist membership is typically around $25 per person for the year.
Without membership, a medical flight from the Serengeti to Nairobi can cost roughly $15,000–$25,000 depending on aircraft and distance. With membership, that evacuation cost is covered. The service is based at Wilson Airport in Nairobi and aims to reach park airstrips quickly. Response to the Serengeti is often under two hours once the call is made.
Kisangara includes Flying Doctors enrollment notes and the emergency number in your pre-travel pack. We recommend buying membership before you fly. It is not a booking condition, but it is the cover we want every guest to have for remote park and mountain travel.
Emergency: +254 20 6992000
Purchase Tourist Membership at flydoc.org. Save your certificate and the emergency number offline. Share both with your Kisangara guide on arrival. Cover is usually valid for 12 months, which helps if you return within the year.
Call +254 20 6992000. Give your location (your guide will have GPS), the medical issue, and your membership number. If you cannot speak, your guide is trained to make this call and stay with you until aircraft and ground transfer are arranged.
AMREF sends the right aircraft from Nairobi. Most parks have airstrips within a short drive of camps. Your guide coordinates the ground transfer. Medical support continues on the flight.
Evacuation usually goes to a major hospital such as Aga Khan or Nairobi Hospital, or to a suitable facility in Arusha or Dar es Salaam for less critical cases. Membership covers evacuation to hospital. Ongoing hospital bills stay with your normal travel insurance.
After you enquire, we send visa notes, packing lists, insurance guidance, and Flying Doctors enrollment details with your proposal.
