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 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. It is
home to over half of the word'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, elephant, lion ,
zebra, waterbuffallo, leopard, hyena, crocodile, 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 Churchhill to name it the PEARL OF AFRICA.
