UGANDA

The Pearl of Africa

"Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa" Sir Winston Churchill wrote in 1907 visiting the beautiful country. And indeed, Uganda is a blessed country astride the equator in East Africa with a rich and ever-fertile vegetation, a beautiful, green, volcanic plateau between the Rwenzori Mountains and Lake Victoria. After a tumultous period of wars following the independence in 1962 peace and stability came back to the country in 1996 under Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the current President of Uganda. Visitors have come rediscovering this brilliant country, its unique birdlife, the fascinating mountain gorillas and the beautiful well looked after national parks.

The Capital City is Kampala. Uganda has a population of 24 Million. There are about 30 indigenous languages spoken throughout the country. The official language is English and taught in almost all the schools. People are friendly, helpful and proud of their country they have rebuilt after the war had found its end. Uganda has a great history going far back in past with four once very powerful kingdoms. There is a lot to be seen on that behalf if you are intersted in history.
