Uganda became an independent nation on October 9th 1962.

Uganda is landlocked and boasts of the beautiful lake Victoria.

The earliest known human inhabitants in contemporary Uganda were hunter gatherers.

Between about 2000 and 1500 years ago Bantu speaking populations, who were probably from central and western Africa, migrated to the southern parts of the country.

Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, and sizeable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt.

The country has largely untapped reserves of both crude oil and natural gas.

Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing over 80% of the work force, with coffee accounting for the bulk of export revenues.

Uganda is home to many different ethnic groups, none of whom form a majority of the population. Around forty different languages are regularly and currently in use in the country.

English became the official language of Uganda after independence besides Swahili

Cricket and Rugby are their main sports!!!

The Ugandan Flag has six equal horizontal bands of black, yellow, red, black, yello w anhd red with a white disk superimposed at the center and depicts a red-crested crane (which is the national Symbol) facing the hoist!

Did you know that Uganda has a population of over 24million people?

Well done if you knew this!
