I don't know why Winston Churchill and Henry Stanley named Uganda the pearl of africa meet to say uganda is the pearl of Africa in 1908.
But I think other writes have wrote about it there is no need for me to rewrite about it.
“The kingdom of Uganda is a fairy-tale. You climb up … and at the end there is a wonderful new world. The scenery is different, the vegetation is different, the climate is different, and, most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa … I say: ‘Concentrate on Uganda’. For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life – bird, insect, reptile, beast – for vast scale — Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa.”
Uganda is endowed with plentiful natural resources, a vast diversity of wildlife and a varied geography. Situated on the equator where the West African Jungle meets the East African Savannah in the African Great Lakes region with several major lakes including a large portion of Lake Victoria, it has a tropical climate with plentiful rainfall and fertile land. The snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains in the southeast are considered by some to be the source of the Nile.
There are 60 protected areas, including 10 national parks, where you can observe 330 species of mammals and over 1000 species of birds including many of the popular animals we associate with Africa including Lions, Elephants, Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Giraffes, Gorillas and Chimpanzees.
Agriculture and fishing play a major role in the livelihood of the people, with export crops including coffee, cotton and tobacco. Among Uganda’s natural resources there are significant mineral deposits as well as mostly untapped reserves of crude oil.
However good our country looks like, we are under the list developed countries. Why?
We have lot of gold, oli and other mineral resources that we can use to build our Countries but can not use it for our benefits. Why??
Our government is steel savings on the other Countries aid, why?
