It’s also the best destination in Africa for seeing a variety of primate species visitors can spot more than ten types of monkey including mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. And if primate enthusiasts are found wandering round with imbecile grins, Uganda’s birds have ornithologists doing cartwheels: more than 1,000 bird species have been recorded here making Uganda, in practical terms, the fines

Following the fifteen years rule of Idi Amin, war and civil war, the Ugandan economy was in ruins by the time peace was restored in 1986.

Once known as ’The Pearl of Africa’, Uganda has, over the last 50 years, suffered the notoriety of rule by dictator Idi Amin, of economic collapse, and of systematic human rights abuses. Yet today, Uganda is widely viewed as an inspirational economic success story, and as a symbol of a more vibrant, successful Africa. This Country Profile provides a concise account of Uganda’s historical and political background, and traces the growth of modern Uganda, where pioneering and imaginative responses to poverty and political pluralism are contrasted with the devastating effects of
