5 Reasons Why You Absolutely Need To Visit Uganda
Hello Displorers, welcome back to another exciting video presented to you by Displore and Thanks for watching. In this video we shall be bringing you 5 reasons why you absolutely need to visit Uganda but first of all let’s have a brief background of Uganda.
Uganda, is a landlocked country in East-Central Africa bordered to the east by Kenya, to the north by South Sudan, to the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to the south-west by Rwanda, and to the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, shared with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda is in the African Great Lakes region and also lies within the Nile basin with a varied but generally modified equatorial climate. Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom, which encompasses a large portion of the south of the country, including the capital Kampala. The people of Uganda were hunter-gatherers until 1,700 to 2,300 years ago, when Bantu-speaking populations migrated to the southern parts of the country.
Beginning in 1894, the area was ruled as a protectorate by the UK, who established administrative law across the territory. Uganda gained independence from the UK on 9 October 1962. The period since then has been marked by violent conflicts, including an eight-year-long military dictatorship led by Idi Amin. Additionally, a lengthy civil war against the Lord's Resistance Army in the Northern Region led by Joseph Kony, has caused hundreds of thousands of casualties.
The official languages are English and Swahili, although "any other language may be used as a medium of instruction in schools or other educational institutions or for legislative, administrative or judicial purposes as may be prescribed by law." Luganda, a central language, is widely spoken across the country, and several other languages are also spoken, including Lango, Acholi, Runyoro, Runyankole, Rukiga, Luo and Lusoga. The current president of Uganda is Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who came to power in January 1986 after a protracted six-year guerrilla war. Following constitutional amendments that removed term limits for the president, he was able to stand and was elected president of Uganda in the 2011 and in the 2016 general elections.

When many people think of Uganda, a lot of instability and civil unrest comes to mind but this beautiful country should be on your bucket list of countries to visit if it already isn’t. But if your mind is not yet made up, here are 5 reasons why you absolutely need to visit Uganda.
1. Tease Your Taste Buds With Uganda’s Rich Cuisine
Uganda’s food is as rich as its culture, because each tribe has its own staple food. A proper Ugandan meal is a celebration in itself, and some meals are prepared as early as the day before, to be served at lunch the following day. Then there is the street food, the most notable being the Rolex. While a Rolex is a timepiece in most countries, in Uganda it’s a popular street food that can be eaten any time of the day. It’s an omelet that is rolled with a chapatti and some onions and tomatoes, bonus points if the tomatoes are raw and if you eat it by the stall. Tourism is still very much in its infancy in Uganda, so you don't need to worry about large crowds of fellow tourists ruining your experience of eating along the streets or in an exclusive country side. Another staple food in Uganda is matoke or cooked bananas. Other food crops include cassava, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, yams, beans, peas, groundnuts, cabbage, onions, pumpkins, and tomatoes. Some fruits, such as oranges, pawpaw, lemons, and pineapples, are also grown. This is an indication of the rich nature of the food variety in Uganda which are prepared in various ways to satisfy different palettes depending on your culture and preferences. Whether you are a foodie or now, Uganda is a traveler’s haven for people from around the world.
2. Home to Some of Africa’s Tallest Mountains Ranges
The Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo are a magnificent attraction to any tourist. Queen Elizabeth Park the most popular game park is set against the backdrop of these mountains and anyone enjoying a game safari in this park would admire the view from a far. The fabled mountains of the moon are a world-class hiking and mountaineering destination. The Rwenzori Mountains are Africa’s tallest mountain ranges exceeded in altitude is Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. This national park is also a cultural heritage to the neighboring communities. What's more, park permits are less than half the price of those in neighboring countries, so you get more silverback for your greenback. Uganda is a natural beauty, wit
