Located in East Africa, Uganda is an independent country with a booming economy, mild weather, and breathtaking landscapes, flora, and fauna. There is no doubt as to why Churchill referred to it as the “pearl of Africa.”
Uganda gained independence from the UK on 9 October 1962. The period since then has been marked by violent conflicts, including an eight-year-long military dictatorship led by Idi Amin. However, Amin was forced to flee the Ugandan capital by helicopter on 11 April 1979, when Kampala was captured.
