   Lost, stolen, or damaged baggage and personal effects
   Travel delay and missed connections
   Personal liability
   It is also recommended to check if the policy covers specific activities or destinations in Uganda, such as safari tours or climbing Mount Elgon.
2. It’s also important to check if your insurance covers COVID-19 related issues.
3. It is also a good practice to keep a copy of the insurance policy and contact information with you while traveling.
