Exploring Uganda with a rented car
It is believed that the animal world in Uganda is the most diverse in Africa. Many tourists visit this country with only one aim – to watch wild animals in their natural habitat. Besides natural landmarks, tourists will find beautiful old villages, interesting archaeological sites, and historic landmarks of different epochs in Uganda. Finally, friendly local people are always glad to meet foreign tourists and tell them more about their unique culture.

Pygmies were the first settlers in the territory of modern Uganda. Nilotic tribes set up their authority over the territory in the 11th century. Descendants of these tribes founded the first country in the territory of modern Uganda in the 14th century. At that time, it was famous as Bunyoro. In the 18th century, a large feudal kingdom of Buganda replaced Bunyoro. At that time, this was one of the most powerful countries in Central Africa.

English explorer John Speke was the first European who visited the territory of modern Uganda. Together with his crew, Speke arrived in Buganda in 1862. Since that time, Christian culture has started spreading in the country. The official period of British colonization started in 1890 for the African country. Fertile lands of the country perfect for growing cotton attracted the British. First coffee bean plantations and several cotton factories appeared in the country at the beginning of the 20th century. During World War II, Uganda was still a British colony. The country became independent in 1962.

Having arrived in the capital of Uganda, the city of Kampala, you will find yourself in a modern and dynamic city with numerous restaurants, bars, and casinos.

The Ssese Islands are an absolutely special region of the country. This is a group of more than 80 islands in the northwestern part of Lake Victoria. Just like many centuries ago, Bassese tribes live on this land. Their lifestyle has remained unchanged for many centuries. They grow coffee and sweet potato on the islands. There are also banana plantations. Besides agriculture, local people do fishing. Tourists can always join fishermen for a small fee and participate in the process. Shopping aficionados will also find it interesting to visit the Ssese islands because they can buy many interesting, one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
