Uganda

Uganda is located in east-central Africa and is populated by dozens of different ethnic groups. The capital city of Uganda is Kampala which sits on the shoreline of Lake Victoria. From volcanos to waterfalls to swamps, Uganda has quite the diverse ecosystem. Coffee coming out of Uganda is known around the world and is a main export helping the country’s economy. Uganda’s climate stays refreshing with warm daylight hours lasting 12 hours or more due to its equatorial location and consistent cloud cover. A wonderful place to visit indeed!
