A short guide about Uganda

Uganda is a landlocked treasure seated on the world's second largest fresh water body, Lake Victoria. Bordering Rwanda and Tanzania to the south, Kenya to the east, Sudan to the north and Zaire to the west, Uganda is truly worth a visit. Oral tradition describes several African Kingdoms in the area, most of which are still in existence today.

Kampala is the capital of Uganda and its bustling streets are filled with many merchants and commuters. The children run to the edge of the street just to wave at you, and the hospitality provided by the locals seems to truly reflect the heart of many of its citizens.

Uganda is one of the first African countries to see the AIDS epidemic begin to turn around, due primarily to an increase in the practice of Abstinence. The effects of AIDS can still be seen among the populace with over 50% of Uganda's population being under the age of 15, most have lost one or both of their parents, and have had to be raised by relatives or friends.

Lakes cover more than a sixth of Uganda, while the rest of the country is filled with magnificent scenery, including snow-capped mountains, thick tropical forests and semi desert areas truly making it the "Pearl of Africa" as described by Winston Churchill. A beautiful drive for about an hour east of the capital, will bring you to the town of Jinja, to what many agree is the source of the Nile River. Other interesting places to visit are Ssese Islands, Entebbe and Kabale and also the Bwindi National Park.

Visit Tourabout for amazing overland expeditions to a country that is located in the heart of the great African high Plateau, as it is here you will encounter wildlife experiences with the mountain gorillas of Uganda.
