Uganda is a small country with a land boundary of 2,698 km and is a land-locked country with no ports. It has a population of 31,367,972 people. English is the official national language, taught in all schools, and is used in the courts of law, most newspapers, radio stations and parliament. Luganda is the language of the central people who account for 16.9% of the language groupings. Other languages vary from tribe to tribe.

Uganda was made known on the world map following the unspeakable atrocities commited during the Idi Amin reign. He played a great role in the history of Uganda that twenty years after he was over thrown, the world speaks of him as though he still rules.

Uganda is home to the endangered Mountain Gorillas, the mountains of the moon (Rwenzori) and the legendary Murchison Falls. Uganda is a bird watchers paradise with over 3000 species of birds in some of the largest national parks including Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, Murchison, Kidepo and Mgahinga.

Transportation is available through either taxis, private pick-ups and hotel shuttles. Car rental at the airport is another option, however if you are a first time traveler, I do not recommend a car rental, lol. The road network is a safari of it's own.

Uganda is one of the most hospitable countries in Africa, the people are always welcoming and accommodating. One feels at home once in Uganda, the best thing to remember is to always try to blend in by understanding instead of criticising.
