A stunning lady walks into a room filled with men, what do you expect of their reaction! How about a group of beauties walking into a room and there's just one guy, how would he feel! Now imagine yourself walking, running, cycling, driving or walking through the most blessed and beautified country on the face of the earth- Uganda. No, you are not picturing enough yet.
A secret I have to tell you...You will never see enough of Uganda, unless you are to live a thousand years.
- Do you know about the mighty Nile? The longest river in the entire universe (until another planet comes to refute this), yes it stems from Uganda. Jinja City. Bujagali falls was the native name. There's more tales and myths about Bujagali especially to the people around the place, but that's a story for another day.
- Should I go ahead to tell you about the white water rafting that goes on at Jinja or do we just go North-to the wall. The Murchison falls. Beautiful is an understatement when one is to tell you about the scenery of water pouring out a cleft along the rift valley escarpment.
- Enough with the Nile and all that, what more do you want to know? Oh,did you know there are nearly 500 crater lakes all around this small country. And more than 300 can be found in one region in the western side of the country called Bunyaruguru. And one of the deepest lakes in East Africa L.Bunyonyi is also a crater lake, but that's not what is fancy about it. It's the many islands on the lake and how people and children travel on canoe boats on one of the deepest lakes.

And we haven't talked about how wild it can get. Check this, Heard of mountain gorillas? These endangered creatures, less than 800 in number (in the entire universe, to the moon and past that) more than half of these are Ugandan, by birth and residence. Hehehe.
Jokes aside, There are two places where you can see the gorillas in their natural habitat, that is at Bwindi impenetrable forest and at Mgahinga forest, which neighbors Rwanda and Congo, the other only two countries that have man's closest relative.
Forget about the native Americans that have gone close to extinct or at least their culture is being wiped out. There's the Batwa, or pygmies as you may want to call them. These are the last people that represent old times, the Africa before we got carried away into civilization. Fruit gatherers and hunters.
But that's not enough is it? How about one of the largest herd of buffalo in Africa in the semi arid Kidepo valley National park, or the biggest crash of hippos you might ever see while on earth along the Kazinga Channel within Queen Elizabeth National Park which amazingly stays in the same waters with another huge float of crocodiles, but leave peacefully.
Heard about climbing lions? Now you know where to find these. Ishasha still within Queen Elizabeth National park.
Honestly, I can keep going, but I decide not to.. Just know there's too much for your eyes and you might need like 3 good cameras while here for there's activity in every corner at every angle..
