Uganda

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa bordered by Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, Rwanda to the southwest, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, and South Sudan to the north. The capital city is Kampala.

With a population of approximately 45 million people, Uganda is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa, with over 50 different indigenous languages spoken. The official languages are English and Swahili.

Uganda has a diverse economy with agriculture being the largest sector, accounting for around 24% of the country's GDP. Uganda is known for its production of coffee, tea, cotton, and tobacco. Other important sectors of the economy include industry, services, and tourism.

Uganda is home to a variety of wildlife, including the endangered mountain gorillas, which can be seen in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Other popular national parks include Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Kibale National Park, known for its chimpanzees.

Uganda has a diverse cultural heritage, with more than 50 different ethnic groups, each with its own customs and traditions. The Buganda Kingdom is the largest and most influential traditional kingdom in the country, with a rich cultural history.

Uganda gained independence from Britain in 1962, and since then has experienced political instability and economic struggles. However, recent years have seen improvements in both areas, with Uganda becoming a stable democracy and one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.
