About Uganda

Uganda, a landlocked country in East Africa, spans 241,551 square kilometers and is home to a population of 49.5 million people, according to the 2024 Census. The country boasts a comprehensive conservation framework that integrates National Parks, Wildlife Reserves, Wildlife Sanctuaries, and Community Wildlife Areas, collectively representing approximately 38% of Uganda’s land surface. Managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), this framework includes 10 National Parks, 12 Wildlife Reserves, 5 Community Wildlife Management Areas, and 13 Wildlife Sanctuaries. This diverse protected area network reflects Uganda’s commitment to preserving its rich biodiversity and ensuring sustainable wildlife management.

Churchill’s admiration for Uganda’s lush forests, rolling hills, vast lakes, and abundant wildlife—including the rare mountain gorillas—highlighted the nation’s unique features, from the source of the Nile to the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains. This endearing nickname has since become synonymous with Uganda, reflecting its status as one of Africa’s most precious and captivating destinations.
