“The Pearl of Africa where north meets south. It is here that one gets to experience all of Africa in
one destination. “
In Eastern Africa, west of Kenya and east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It lies in the
heart of the Great Lakes region, and is surrounded by three of them, Lake Edward, Lake Albert,
and Lake Victoria. While much of its border is lakeshore, Uganda is landlocked with no access to
the sea.
Despite being on the equator Uganda is more temperate than the surrounding areas due to its
altitude. Most of the country is on a plateau with a rim of mountains. The climate is tropical;
generally rainy with two dry seasons (December to February, June to August). It is semiarid East
Sudanian savanna in north near Sudan.
