What makes Uganda a good and exceptional place for your vacation? Uganda is a small country located in East Africa. It is always referred to as the Pearl of Africa because of its beauty. Are you looking for the source of the longest river in the World? Go to Uganda and you will be welcomed and thrilled by the great falls like Kabalega falls and many others on the Nile. The Nile River is not the only beautiful physical feature of Uganda. There is Lake Victoria which is about the largest in the world occupying three countries. There are so many beautiful resort beaches around the lake. Then there are these beautiful mountains both volcanic and block mountains. You will love the animals in Uganda's National game parks and zoo. Have you ever come face to face with gorillas! You don't know what you missing; just give Uganda a shot because it will be all worthy it. The amazing thing about Uganda is that, the country is pretty small, so you can see it all or you can be everywhere.

The most beautiful thing about Uganda is the people. They are so friendly, welcoming and gentle. You will not feel like an outsider at any point. If you speak English, you have no fears for the language. Believe me; Ugandans have a great sense of fashion and style. The weather is as beautiful as it could be. It is never cold and not so hot. The sun is always out, it is just perfect. And what is even more terrific about the country is that it is very cheap. The hotels are very beautiful and cheap. The food is excellent, of all kind and also cheap. Communication is not a problem because there are phones everywhere and even the Internet. Transportation is made easy, taxi cabs are everywhere and at a very reasonable price. And Kampala, the capital is one of the most populated places in the world in a good way. Entertainment is everywhere and the people have a great sense of humor. The politics is very fair with all the freedoms. You can call the president names on the streets without any impact. To be sincere, the only thing that will cost you is the airplane ticket but the rest is free. It is a free country in every essence.
