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.
• Rwenzori Mountains: Tackling the ice-capped peaks of Africa's highest range, evocatively known as the 'Mountains of the Moon'.
• Ssese Islands: Lazing in a hammock on a powdery white-sand beach in the middle of Lake Victoria.
• Queen Elizabeth National Park: Going on game drives to see herds of elephants, hippos, giraffes and lions.
