THE PEARL OF AFRICA

Uganda is located in the heart of Sub-Saharan Africa and lies astride the Equator. The total area of the country is about 241,039 square kilo-meters of which about 43,942sq. Km is covered by fresh water bodies and swamps. Uganda is a country strategically positioned within East
and Central Africa, a region that includes some of Africa’s most beautiful flora and fauna with substantial tourist attractions. The country is land-locked country and it borders the Sudan to the north, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, Kenya to the east, and Tanzania and Rwanda to the south.

Uganda offers exceptional diversity for the visitor, combining some of the best features that Africa has to offer. The country lies at the overlap between the tropical East African Savannah and the West African rain-forest zones. Uganda is a country endowed with contrasting physical features ranging from extensive plains with undulating hills to snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, meandering rivers and spectacular flora and fauna. Seven of Africa’s plant kingdoms are represented in Uganda, which is more than any other country on the continent. In addition, Uganda ranks among the top ten in the world in terms of the diversity of its mammal groups. For example, by comparison with other countries, Uganda supports five times more bird species, six times as many mammals, ten times as many reptiles and amphibians and three times the number of plant species. Uganda is also the source of the Great River Nile, which is the longest river in the world and the third largest fresh water lake, the Lake Victoria. Such is Uganda’s potential in Africa that the former British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill after his many journeys across the length and width of the African continent, concluded that the country (Uganda) was indeed “The Pearl of Africa”. His verdict did not only describe the wealth of Uganda’s resources, but also the peaceful environment and social system in which the people of Uganda lived. Uganda welcomes you.
