Photographic Equipment Insurance

Insuring your camera equipment before embarking on any wildlife photographic holiday is not just a precaution, it’s a necessity. Our trips often take us into remote & sometimes unpredictable environments where accidents & unexpected incidents sometimes do occur. Insuring your camera gear provides financial protection against theft, loss, or damage, ensuring your investment is safeguarded.

Wildlife photography involves capturing unique & irreplaceable moments, & without proper insurance, any unforeseen mishap could result in significant monetary losses. By insuring your equipment, you can enjoy a sense of security, knowing you’re covered in any unfortunate events. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring world of wildlife & capture stunning photographs without worry.

For amateur photographers, we recommend PhotoGuard, a trusted name in the industry. For our own use, we rely on Glover Howe, a company we trust & have had great experiences with.
