Kampala has been named as one of Africa’s safest capital cities. Explorers in search of the source of the Nile won’t leave disappointed.
Uganda is one of the world’s primate capitals, with Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a renowned mountain gorilla sanctuary.
The headwaters of the Nile originate here, then burst through a cleft in the rocks at Murchison Falls. Uganda’s parade of animals is amazingly diverse.

Mountain gorillas can’t survive in captivity as several efforts have been made to capture live mountain gorillas and start a captive population but not successful.
Mountain gorillas only live in the dense vegetation of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and along the dormant volcanic Virunga mountain range that stretches across Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, Uganda’s Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Uganda has an edge, however, since Bwindi alone is home to half of the world’s gorillas.
Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa, the largest tropical lake in the world, the second largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area after Lake Superior in North America, and the third largest lake in the world.
It was originally referred to as Lake Nyanza and was renamed after Queen Victoria by the explorer John Hanning Speke, the first Briton to document it in 1858, while on an expedition with Richard Francis Burton.
The lake’s area is divided among three countries: Kenya occupies 6%, Uganda 45% and Tanzania 49%.
Uganda is home to 10 National Parks; 12 Wildlife reserves; 5 Community Wildlife Management Areas; and 13 Wildlife Sanctuaries. The ten National Parks including Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Kibale, Mount Elgon, Rwenzori Mountains, Semuliki, Mgahinga Gorilla and Bwindi Impenetrable National Parks.
With so much to offer, Uganda is every travelers dream destination as you can’t exhaust all activities like boat tours, forest hikes, mountain climbing, wildlife research activities, bird watching, the big five safaris and many more.
Uganda is one of the few countries through which the equator passes.
The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the earth into two equal parts.
Although the equator stretches 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers) around the world, it travels through just 13 countries.
The countries through which the equator runs are:
São Tomé and Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia, Kiribati, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil.
Of the 13 countries that lie on the equator, seven are in Africa.
The water experiment known as the Coriolis effect shows how the movement of water changes direction when in motion. In the northern hemisphere, you can observe a clockwise rotation and an anti-clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere.
