Unpacking Uganda, the Pearl of Africa!

Little is known about Uganda by many people in the Western world! It is annoying on many occasions when many people tend to think that Africa is one single country, then what do you know about the world? One time in an economic convention in New York attended by CEO s of big multi - national corporations and a handful of African leaders among the President of Uganda participated. During the Introduction and salutations time, president Museveni greeted everyone and mentioned he was from Uganda. Surprisingly, the President of the United states Bush asked, "Which company ?" Big shame! While at School we study about the entire world, the Prairies, the Ganges. the Crimean war and the French revolution. Sorry chaps nobody know about you! Hey! You do not need to sit back and sulk, we have this blog! Tell somebody that Uganda is a beautiful country and Africa's friendliest country.
True we had a notorious leader Amin (in picture above) Click to read more on Amin known for being one of the bloodiest dictators of the 20th century and the HIV/AIDS scourge that is determined to finish many youths, but we also have happy people, a serene equatorial climate, elephants, lions, the Nile and the 7 ft tall silver back mountain gorilla in its national habitat. Uganda will always be the Pearl of Africa!
From the moment you land at Entebbe’s modern and efficient international airport, with its breathtaking equatorial location on the forested shore of island-strewn Lake Victoria, it is clear that Uganda is no ordinary country. Uganda in pictures
