Travel to Uganda
Uganda is a beautiful country with amazing people. It’s one of my favorite countries throughout Africa. The people of Uganda have survived the problems of the 1967-1986 period, and appeared in a standing position and wearing a smile. In this short period, the country suffered under the whims of two despicable despots. One was the indisputably insane Idi Amin and the others, probably crazy Milton Obote.
This is now history – a tribute to the dignity and endurance of this people. The transformation of the country in the years since returning normality is quite spectacular. And it shows in the faces of people you meet. It is graceful beauty of Uganda has not received the recognition they deserve in international beauty contest is for me proof that most of these events are really fixed.
Winston Churchill was so taken by the country he gave the name that endures: the “pearl of Africa”. His observations about Uganda remain true today: “The landscape is different, the vegetation is different, the climate is different and most importantly, people are different from everything else … in the whole of Africa.”
