So welcome to Uganda your second home

Uganda is a tropical paradise nesting on the equator. It is a land gifted with green valleys, rolling hills, plains and misty forests. Several streams, rivers, and lakes with crystal clear water criss-cross and dot its landscape.

It is a plateau flanked in the east by Mount Elgon (14,101 feet). The snow-capped Ptolemy’s Mountain of the Moon also known as Ruwenzori – “the rain maker” (16,763 feet), leaps out of the earth on its western border. In the northern border are the Imatong mountain ranges of South Sudan; the highest peak, the Lowmaga stands at 8,649 feet. In the south eastern border is Lake Victoria (Nyanza) – the head waters of the Nile.

In his book “My African Journeys” Winston Spencer-Churchill (1907) described Uganda as:
“Pearl of Africa”

He echoed the description that had been made as early as 1858 by Captain John Hanning Speke and Richard Burton; and repeated once again in 1875 by Henry Morton Stanley- all of whom had been impressed by the fertility of the soil and the intelligence of its people.
