It is bordered by Kenya, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Tanzania. Uganda lies near the equator and is home to Lake Victoria and the source of the White Nile. Its diverse landscapes include mountains, forests, lakes, and savannahs, supporting rich biodiversity and numerous national parks. The capital city, Kampala, is situated near Lake Victoria. Uganda’s tropical climate, cultural richness, and strategic location make it an important trade and tourism hub in the region, with agriculture playing a central economic role.
