Let's
give you a short brief about Uganda: it's the place you
will find the source of the Nile; it's the home to half
of the world's remaining Mountain Gorillas; home of the
breathtaking Rwenzori, also known as the Mountains of
the Moon, and that's even before we talk about the innumerable
species of flora and fauna. That, too, is before we start
to describe the remarkable Bujagali falls.
Pardon us, will you, because we will not tell the story
on this page. We just can not. The story of Uganda's attractions
is too good to be told on a webpage. You need to see for
yourself. We are only picking out a few of them here for
you, but we are sure you will discover many more:
