Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa, bordered by Kenya, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Tanzania. Its capital, Kampala, is built on seven hills near the shores of Lake Victoria. Uganda is situated in the Nile basin and has a varied but generally equatorial climate. Much of its southern border is defined by Lake Victoria, the world's largest tropical lake and the primary source of the White Nile. The country's geography includes the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains, often called the 'Mountains of the Moon,' and the Great Rift Valley. Uganda is known for its incredible wildlife, including the 'Big Five' and half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. Winston Churchill famously called Uganda the 'Pearl of Africa' because of its stunning beauty and biodiversity. The country's economy relies heavily on agriculture, particularly coffee, tea, and tobacco.
