Subject: Travel Insurance recommendations?

I need to have travel insurance for an upcoming group tour in Africa. The company requires 200,000 emergency medical evacuation and medical coverage (undefined), and I wouldn't mind the trip cancellation insurance.

I looked at "travelinsurance.com" and found some good options, but wondered if anyone had advice/anecdotes about companies they liked, things to watch out for, etc.   So far I like the travelinsurance.com site because they do show various legitimate ratings.   

Just curious if anyone had advice - thanks!

Just for your interest you could check out www.worldnomads.com 

My wife and I used it for a 3 month backpacking trip.  It seemed pretty good although we were lucky not to have any issues while away.

Look around in the travel prep pages of all inclusive tour companies and travel agencies.

I think most recommend and offer some sort of travel insurance due to the high cost of the trips they offer. I'm not recommending the one in the link I posted, just using it as an example. Sounds amazing, please let us know how the trip turns out and post some photos!
