Trip Insurance recommendations for Africa trip

We are taking a 24 day Africa trip in 2027 and it was reccomended to us to purchase Trip insurance,( Medical and Med evac).
Hoping you some recommendations, where you had a good experience with a reliable company?

Thanks for your insight, appreciate it

A friend of ours referred us to AARDY. I would describe it as kind of a market place of all different insurers. You customize who you are, what you need, what you want to cover. They have a partnership with AARP, and the person I spoke with did a great job of explaining plans, coverages, etc. I am 65 and work in insurance, I felt AARDY did a nice job at a good price with a number of options I could understand. We will be in Africa next year too!

We use Travel Guard and have not had any problems with claims. Just read the policy beforehand to be sure you know what it covers and what it doesn’t.

AmEx offers Medical and Med evacuation coverage (doesn't include the expensive other issues like trip cancellation, etc.).
We usually buy $1 million coverage for both of us for about $60. You have to have an AmEx card.
