Getting to Uganda          About Uganda

Uganda has such a wealth of attractions that a single visit will not be enough to discover all the wonders that we have to offer. 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 safari destination. Dominated by an expansive golf course leading down to the lakeshore, and a century-old botanical garden alive with the chatter of acrobatic monkeys and colourful tropical birds, Entebbe itself is the least obviously urban of all comparably sized African towns. Located astride the equator at a relatively high altitude, Uganda experiences an equatorial mild climate with temperatures ranging between 20(o)C and 22(o)C (68(o)F to 72(o)F). It has two rainfall seasons in a year from March to April and September to November.

Uganda is one large plateau and is a land of the rolling hills with markedly diversified landscape including elevated plains, big forests, low swamps and mountain ranges with high snow-capped peaks. The Victoria Nile and the Albert Nile are the main rivers. It is a landlocked country in terms of ocean accessibility bordered in the north by Sudan, in the east by Kenya, in the west by the Congo, and the south by Tanzania and Rwanda. Coordinates are 1 00 N, 32 00 E.
