Uganda: 7 — The Colours of Uganda

For those who have never seen Uganda, you may imagine an African nation that suffers from drought and depression. Our experience tells a far different story!

Although poverty is ever-present and AIDS and malaria are urgent medical challenges, the nation has an emerging vitality!

Ugandans love their vibrant colours. Their clothing is bright and attractive and often clean. The geography is spectacular. The rice fields, small farms and gently rolling landscapes in the east are beautiful. Small villages, towns, and cities are alive with markets and small vending stations.

People are everywhere!

The west has mountains that are captivating. Tea and coffee plantations are plentiful — together with the ever-present matoki fields.

Those of us who are fortunate to travel to this nation of “friends” will never forget this “pearl of Africa”.
