Uganda lies west of Kenya in East Africa, near the equator. Uganda consists of a large and mainly green plateau between the western and eastern foothills of the Great Rift Valley.
It is a blessed and fertile land with over 2,000 mm of rainfall per year - on a continent that is constantly afflicted by drought and famine.
Lakes like "Lake Victoria", the second largest freshwater lake in the world, and rivers like the legendary Nile cover 25% of the lands' surface. Luscious rainforests, savannahs and semi-deserts accommodate an incomparable variety of animals and plants.
Since peace and security prevail in Uganda once more, the land is noticeably regaining its former reputation as a tourists’ paradise. Thousands of Indians and other foreigners (most of them of Asian origin), who were expelled from the land in the 70's have come back, and have taken over and restored their property, land, factories and shops again. Investors from all over the world are discovering Uganda with its multiple development potentials. And last but not least the Ugandans themselves are the ones who are reaping the fruits of the latest efforts for solid conditions.
