Uganda is a country in eastern Africa with a rich cultural history, and it has two official languages: English and Swahili. This country covers 7,108 square miles and is home to 33.3 million people. Uganda's capital is Kampala. Among the numerous reasons to visit Uganda are its wonderful wildlife experiences, wild chimpanzee trekking, breathtaking views, ethnic foods, dynamic culture, and welcoming people.
