Travel insurance for our trip to Niger?

If you're going travelling, whether to Niger or anywhere else, you should always make sure you have travel insurance that includes at least health insurance, but ideally also other things like luggage, flight cancellations and delays, etc. Usually it's best to get the insurance package through your bank or some local insurance provider. In most cases you can easily buy the insurance for trips lasting up to 3 months for a fairly good price.
