Uganda’s Many Sides
August 19th, 2011

When I tell people that I am planning to visit Uganda this year, I’ll admit that often their first response is something along the lines of “where’s that”? I’ll also admit that when I first started studying it, I had to look it up on a map to find it’s exact location in East Africa. fjallraven kanken mini backpack brown But that’s part of what fascinates me about it – the fact that it’s a bit unknown to most (American) travelers. coque samsung fjallraven kanken kids backpack deep red Upon visiting, Winston Churchill called Uganda the “pearl of Africa”, a slogan the country still boasts today. twister movie custodia iphone x tyui13185 custodia cover iphone 11 12 mini pro max minion monster p0742 While it’s history has steered visitors clear in the past, this East African country is welcoming tourists with open arms, and upon seeing the country’s beauty and wildlife, tourists are equally as enthusiastic. coque huawei Orlando Magic Jersey dark funeral custodia iphone x tyui7074 Uganda is probably most known for it’s gorilla and chimp tracking.
