Africa’s continent is home to the nation of Uganda. Uganda, located in eastern Africa, is encircled by land. Uganda is bordered by four other nations in Africa. Sudan shares a border with Uganda in the north. Uganda’s eastern border is with Kenya, and its western border is with the Congo. Lake Victoria and Tanzania both border Uganda on its southern side. The country is made of 81.7% land and 18.3% water.

The two dry seasons in Uganda—December through February and June through August—are the finest times to travel there because they offer the best opportunities for hiking to view mountain gorillas and chimpanzees.
This time of year, along with February and March, is also favourable for observing wildlife in national parks. From late September through the beginning of October, waterholes are frequented by large populations of wildlife.

Ugandan cuisine has a variety of regional specialties that draw on flavours from the Arabic, Asian, and English countries. Since the nation is primarily agricultural, its cuisine uses high-quality ingredients, which results in dishes that are both delicious and nutritious. There are many different types of ingredients, including fish, several kinds of meat, yucca, soy, vegetables, and other food including fruits and nuts. One of their most famous dishes is Matoke. It consists of a chicken and green banana stew that has been spiced up. To prepare this dish, a puree produced from bananas is combined with chicken and various vegetables. Other notable dishes you will find may be slightly unusual including fried white ants found in food markets and fried grasshoppers.

Before the Bantu people arrived and brought with them more advanced abilities, Ugandans were foragers. At the same period, the Buganda ruled central Uganda, while the Bunyoro Kingdom seized control of the northern region. Arab traders began to arrive in the 1830s, while British explorers who were searching for the Nile River’s source arrived in the 1860s. It became the British Protectorate of Uganda in 1894 after Protestant and Catholic missionaries arrived there in the late 1870s. Initially, just the Buganda kingdom was controlled by the British, but this quickly spread to include the whole of Uganda. The Buganda people assisted the British as they seized control of other kingdoms by performing administrative tasks including collecting taxes from neighbouring tribes. In 1962 Uganda declared its independence from British rule and became a Commonwealth country.
