Uganda

Welcome To Uganda

Uganda has one of the longest histories of any country, tracing its heritage along the Nile River back to ancient times. Considered a cradle of civilization in East Africa, Uganda saw some of the earliest developments in agriculture, trade, and organized societies. Uganda’s long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, reflecting its diverse ethnic groups and unique location at the heart of Africa.

Uganda has a deep connection to Christianity, with missionaries arriving in the late 19th century, and it remains a major religious influence today alongside Islam. Modern Uganda dates back to 1962, when it gained independence from the British Empire. Following independence, Uganda experienced a period of political instability and dictatorship, but has since moved towards greater stability and development.
