Uganda

Uganda sits at the heart of equatorial Africa, where the Albertine Rift escarpment, crater lakes, and dense montane forest meet the broad northern savannahs. The source of the White Nile lies within its borders, and equatorial light gives the landscape a particular intensity. Life moves at close quarters with nature here — birdcalls dominate mornings in a way few places match.
