Uganda is truly the "Pearl of Africa" as witnessed by none other than Sir Winston Churchhill (the famous former British Prime Minister and Statesman) when he visited this beautiful country in 1907. In his book "My African Journey" he wrote, "Uganda is truly the Pearl of Africa. The scenery is different, the vegetation is different and most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole of Africa." The country still remains as beautiful as he described it and in fact it has improved in terms of technology and communication.

Uganda is home to the source of the famous River Nile which is the second longest river in the world. The River Nile begins it's long meandering African journey right in heart of Uganda in the industrial town of Jinja. The source of the Nile is a beautiful scenery with it's vast and abundant fresh water life. Here in Jinja we have the Owen Falls well known for it's strength that facilitates the provision of electricity that supplies electricity to the whole of Uganda and some of the neighboring countries.
