Once you have life insurance and funeral cover in place, you can hit the road with full peace of mind.
October is an ideal month to travel in South Africa. The weather is warming up and, as it’s not quite peak tourism season, you might even snag lower rates. Whether you're dreaming of hiking Table Mountain or venturing into the Kruger National Park to spot the Big 5, there’s one essential item that should sit at the top of your “packing list”, but it’s not the most obvious – life insurance and funeral cover. But first, let’s take a look at what’s on in October.
Let’s hit the road for an October adventure!
Whaling Station & South Pier Adventure Hike – 20 October 2024
Grab your most comfortable shoes and escape to Hermanus for an adventure hike set against the backdrop of beautiful beaches and tidal pools teeming with marine life. This invigorating 5 hour trek’s highlights include historical landmarks, such as the whale watching deck, gun towers, and old railway tracks, providing a fascinating look into Durban's history.
The Soweto Cheese And Wine Festival – 27 October 2024
Love good food and wine? Embark on a flavour-fuelled road trip to The Soweto Cheese & Wine Festival. Visitors can expect a great selection of South African wines, artisanal cheeses and other delicious “local is lekker” dishes from the Seven Colour Sundays vendors. All this paired with live music including a lineup of top DJs and performers.
Sanlam Cape Town Marathon – 20 October 2024
Want to run one of the most beautiful routes in the world? Head to Cape Town for Africa’s most iconic marathon! It’s open to a whole spectrum of running enthusiasts from elite athletes to social runners who can take part in a 5km or 10km Peace Run. You’ll get to take in magnificent views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean and experience the vibrant energy of South Africa’s most visited city.
Enjoy your adventure with full peace of mind
Before you set off on your October adventure, take some time to review your insurance – and we’re not just talking about travel insurance. You might be taking a break, but life is unpredictable and accidents and illness could strike at any time, even when you’re on a break. However, if you have a life insurance policy with MiWayLife, it will pay out a lump sum of your choosing to your beneficiaries in the event of your passing.
The payout from a life insurance policy will be far greater than anything you’d ever receive from a travel insurance policy and, depending on your cover amount, can even prove long-term financial support. This way, your family can still realise their goals, be it to pay off your home or ensure your children receive a tertiary education. Better yet, all MiWayLife policies are 4-in-1, meaning they include comprehensive life insurance, a Terminal Illness benefit and funeral cover for you and your extended family – all for one affordable premium.
The bottom line
As you pack your bags, grab your camera, and get ready to explore the beauty of South Africa this October, don’t forget to pack your insurance. With the right policy in place, you can relax and enjoy your trip, knowing that you and your loved ones are financially secure.
