Overview
Country of the Great Lakes, at the bottom of Africa, Uganda will reveal all its magic through its grandiose landscapes made of high plateaus, volcanoes, rainforests and impressive waterfalls; it will captivate you with its immense savannas populated by wild animals and the numerous ethnic groups that populate its territory.
Nicknamed the Pearl of Africa by Winston Churchill, who lived there, this former English colony, located at the equator line, is landlocked between Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan, Congo and Rwanda.
