The yellow card is accepted in Burundi, DR Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It covers bodily injury, death and property damage to third parties; emergency medical treatment for the driver and passengers is optional. Liability is limited to the third-party limits of the country visited (COMESA).
You buy it from your own insurer; the price depends on the length of the trip, the size of the vehicle and the issuing country.
Flying instead? The yellow card covers your car only. For a Schengen visa you need travel medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000: see travel insurance in Kenya for a Schengen visa and the 29 insurers the EU Delegation accepts.
