Why Uganda was Named the Pearl of Africa?
It was the best name Churchill could give to this beautiful country. No matter how Uganda is a landlocked country, but still its a "Pearl of Africa"
Uganda has the best scenery in Africa composed of swamps, lakes , rivers mountains and semi-arid lands.
The biggest lake ( Lake Victoria is found in Uganda), The longest river (River Nile) starts from Uganda.
Can you imagine snow capped mountains on the equator? I think Uganda is indeed the pearl of Africa.
Mountain Gorillas are found in Uganda in the whole world and Africa in particular.
Little as it is, Uganda has 10 national parks, 7 game reserve and around 30 national forest reserves where birding vacation are the order of the day.
And on top of that, the culture of people of Uganda takes it all. Uganda has more than 50 ethnic tribes with different cultures that can answer why Uganda is called the pearl of Africa.
