Uganda is an east African country bordering Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, and Congo. It is known as the "pearl of Africa" due to its beauty, biodiversity, and lush landscape. Geographically landlocked, Uganda serves as a bridge between the east African savannah and the west African jungle. English is the national language while other tribal languages are also spoken.
