Uganda is an eastern African nation of 27 million people that lies on the equatorial line. The official language here is English alongside Swahili, with many, many local languages also spoken, the most famous of which is Luganda.
While in Uganda, you can pass from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere with just one step, as the country sits right on the equator. In fact, there is even a monument to the exact line of the equatorand visitors who are interested can receive a document verifying that they have stepped over this line along with a souvenir photo. This is of course one of the most popular tourist spots in the country.
There are wonderful tourist facilities around the shores of Africa's biggest lake, Lake Victoria. The lake itself encompasses 67,483 square kilometers of space, which makes it around five times as large as the Marmara Sea! This lake is famous for its delicious fish. Tourists and their children alike can take horseback riding lessons here.
The Ugandan capital, Kampala, is, like İstanbul, a city of seven hills. It is a green city, with almost no tall buildings except for in the very center. Most of the homes here are single homes, not apartments. There are no buses used for public transport here. Instead, people use multiple-passenger taxis. Traffic is crowded and confusing though; these taxis don't have any numbers or signs on them, leaving people to simply guess or know through habit which taxi they need to hop onto.
