What is Uganda known for?

Uganda
- Uganda, country in east-central Africa.
- About the size of Great Britain, Uganda is populated by dozens of ethnic groups.
- The English language and Christianity help unite these diverse peoples, who come together in the cosmopolitan capital of Kampala, a verdant city whose plan includes dozens of small parks and public gardens and a scenic promenade along the shore of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest freshwater lake.
- The Swahili language unites the country with its East African neighbours Kenya and Tanzania.
Uganda has so much to offer, here are some of the things Uganda is known for.
- Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: Trekking through the jungle to marvel at critically endangered mountain gorillas.
- Nile River: Taking on the wild waters of the Kalagala Falls, some of the best white-water rafting in East Africa.
- Murchison Falls: Gazing upon the world's most powerful waterfall during a boat ride up the Victoria Nile.
- Lake Bunyonyi: Chilling out on a remote island on the most beautiful lake in Uganda.
- Kidepo Valley National Park: Exploring unvarnished Africa at its wild and colourful best.
