Uganda is generally a unique country, and home to various iconic features of world importance.

Nile is the world’s longest river covering a distance of over 5,100 miles from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea in North Africa.With its shimmering islands, Lake Victoria is a true source of adventure and relaxation along its extensive sand beaches. The only Bahai’ temple in Africa is situated right in the city of Kampala, standing high on top of a hill for those who would like to learn more of the Bahai’ history and beliefs.Uganda is host to over 400 mountain gorillas, totaling to over 50% of world’s mountain gorilla population situated in the south western in Bwindi national park and Mgahinga gorilla national park. The jagged Rwenzori mountains in the far south west corner is just a right spot to test your adventure enthusiasm; it is Uganda’s tallest mountain and East Africa’s largest block mountain, formed as a result of faulting. Despite its height, and the fact that it lies along the equator where temperatures are apparently high, the Rwenzori remain covered by snow almost all year through.
