Uganda is a land locked country in Eastern Africa. The people don't have much but they are some of the happiest and most welcome people you could ever wish to meet. The country has two rainy seasons a year and as soon as you leave Kampala it becomes apparent how lush and fertile the rest of the country is. The Nile's source is found in the east of the country and some of the world's few remaining Silverback Mountain Gorillas are living in the west. Uganda has some of Africa's best national parks where you can see lions, elephant, giraffe, hippo and hundreds of bird species.
