| Bisected from east to west by the equator and from north to south by both the eastern and western forks of the Great Rift Valley, the small country of Uganda lies at the very heart of Africa. With the extensive rainforests of the Congo basin to the west, Lake Victoria on the south, the semi-arid deserts of the Sahel to the north, and the acacia savannas of the vast Serengeti ecosystem to the east; Uganda is a microcosm of African wildlife and environments. It is in Uganda that we find the Rwenzoris (the fabled “Mountains of the Moon”), Murchison Falls, and the source of the River Nile. Because of its lushness and great beauty, it has been referred to by the English explorer Henry Stanley and later by Winston Churchill as “the Pearl of Africa. |
