Actually,...it is not so easy to take you on a Map of Uganda information tour.

There are so many exciting things to tell you about,...because our country is like no other place on earth "PEARL OF AFRICA" ,...vast,...sweeping,...diversified,...complicated and breathtaking,...offering a dazzling variety of attractions.

We will make a start with this map of Uganda page...and please check all the other pages by clicking on the left navigation bar because this site is overflowing with Uganda information.

On this map of Uganda you will know how thick green forests reverberate with the voices of excited chimpanzees and wondrous turacos, The roots of giant fig trees boom the tunes of drumming chimpanzees across lost valleys and the Nile thunders through the most powerful cataracts in the world.




Ptolemy’s ‘Mountains of the Moon ’ and their equatorial ice-fields are lost in cloud for most of the year and mountain gorillas hide in the mist of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park



The veritable inland seas of Lakes Victoria and Albert are beautiful in the grandest possible way where forested islands and Blue mountains dissolve into horizon lines and stunning African sunsets.

Elusive leopard hunt the beautiful kob , huge herds of buffalo roam the plains, elephants wander the open plains and lions climb giant fig trees to sleep during the day.





This magnificent little country straddles the equator and the landscape as a result is a rich mosaic of greens year-round.

Contrasting vividly with the desperate poverty and drought images often broadcast to the world, it is what Winston Churchill called ‘the pearl of Africa’.

The country is never subject to the suffocating heat or humidity often associated with the tropics as this is moderated by altitude. Because we are on the equator it is summer every day of the year.This is evidenced by the climate of Uganda

Kampala is only 80kms west of Jinja and the Victoria Source of the Nile which is the country’ adventure playground.

Rafting on the Nile is probably the best whitewater adventure of its kind in the world and year-round visitors can challenge the legendary rapids of the Nile. A bungee jump over the mighty river offers incredible water touches and is the perfect start to an action-packed day on the river.

Other attractions



Other attractions that are offered are trekking opportunities for the mighty apes and a wide range of other strong>primates
.

Mountain gorilla or chimpanzee encounters in Uganda’s incredible tropical forests are experiences of a lifetime. On the western border of the country is Africa’s highest mountain range.

The Rwenzori mountains give rise to the legendary ‘snows of the Nile’ or the highest source of the mighty river.





This land is also home to an incredible 1200 species of bird or about 10per cent of the entire number of species to be found on the planet

Many of the National Parks are also home to East Africa’s famous big game. Huge herds of buffalo, magnificent tree climbing lions, giant forest hog, graceful giraffe and magnificent herds of elephant are just a few of the country’s hidden gems.

Before the Amin era, Queen Elisabeth National Park had the highest biomass on the continent (more animals per square kilometre).

The proximity to the equator, altitude and regular rainfall mean the parks can support incredible numbers of game.

In the 60’s safaris here were far more popular than in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania. Today, the other members of the East Africa community are far more popular with tourists.



This map of Uganda shows how this country is, by far accounts, a well keep secret. The world’s best whitewater rafting, magical encounters with great apes and incredible game viewing are all on offer.

In Kenya, a lion encounter might be shared with 30-40 other vehicles full of tourists, but here in Uganda it is much more likely to be a solo encounter.

Imagine watching a 50kg lion sleeping in a tree above you or counting over 700 elephant wandering from the shelter of the bush with not another vehicle or person in sight. This is Uganda.
