Uganda - Learn, Explore and Travel

Uganda in the 21st century

Geography: Eastern Africa, west of Kenya

Climate: tropical; generally rainy with two dry seasons (December to February, June to August); semiarid in northeast

Terrain: mostly plateau with rim of mountains

Natural resources: copper, cobalt, hydropower, limestone, salt, arable land

Capital of Uganda is Kampala

The capital Kampala sits in a rolling landscape looking towards Lake Victoria, and is quickly developing into a top destination for the country. Apart from the normal fare of casinos, clubs, and markets, you should take the time to see the Kasubi Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site a few miles outside the city center, the National Museum, with collections of archaeological and cultural significance, and the only Bahai temple in Africa, that pokes above the landscape and welcomes visitors into the gardens to think.
