Uganda - A Diversion

It's less than two weeks before the laptops arrive in Uganda. In the meantime we are taking a small diversion with this blog post. We want to share a few images as well as some words, taken from two popular guide books to the region, to entice further exploration of Uganda - virtually or in real-time.


Images sourced from traveladventures.org


"Uganda has changed. And how!" - BG

"Uganda is Africa condensed, with the best of everything the continent has to offer packed into one small but stunning destination." - LP

"Ugandans... genuinely do come across as the most warm, friendly and relaxed hosts imaginable." - BG

"[Ugandans] are smiling and friendly, with an openness absent in other places - truly some of the finest folk in Africa." - LP

"Uganda is widely and rightly regarded as one of the most crime-free countries in Africa." - BG

"Uganda is home to the highest mountain range in Africa... It is the source of the mighty river Nile... offering the best white-water rafting in the world. It has the highest concentration of primates in the world, including the majestic mountain gorillas..." - LP

"the scenery is so striking that it looks like a watercolour" - LP

If you are not already in Uganda, we hope that you pay us a visit sometime in Sironko and leave enough time to explore the rest of the country too.

If you are a virtual explorer: more pictures here and country information here.
