EXPERIENCE UGANDA

Uganda is famous as the “Pearl of Africa”, a name that conveniently wraps all the good things about Uganda in three simple words. The country sparkles with natural riches and melts with unique native and foreign cultures. The people of Uganda possess a beautiful, generous, and resilient soul—going through years of civil wars and political power struggle but still welcoming all kinds of people to their lands.  Uganda has a gorgeous landscape that harmoniously protects many animal and plant species within its Rift Valley basin. The land is richly fertile, and Ugandan coffee has become both a mainstay of the agricultural economy and a favorite of connoisseurs around the world.
