Uganda is an astonishingly beautiful country,
full of vibrant colour, confident, courteous and indomitable people. It boasts some of the world's most breathtaking landscape, water spaces, flora and fauna. It hosts Lake Victoria, the second biggest fresh water lake in the world. It is the source of the mighty river, the longest in the world and on which one can watch the most powerful flow of water on earth, the Murchison Falls.
Uganda is home to over half of the world’s famous rare mountain gorillas.
Perched on an immense plateau, through which the equator crosses, Uganda has the best of both world's year-round sunshine and comfortable temperatures where everything abounds.
One can see the African wildlife, elephants, lions, zebra, water buffalos, leopard, hyena, crocodiles, hippopotamus and much more in an unspoilt natural environment. There are over 1000 exotic bird species. There are more species of primate than one can find elsewhere. Sport fishing on the lakes and in the Nile has caused international anglers to return again and again over the years.
After well over a decade of fundamental political, economic and social change ushered in by the ruling National Resistance Movement, Uganda has been prospering. It is becoming, once again, what it has been for most of the last Century-one of Africa's most attractive investment and tourist destinations that led the famous British Statesman, Sir Winston Churchill to name it the
PEARL OF AFRICA.
