Uganda

Welcome To Uganda

Uganda’s story is shaped by the many communities and kingdoms of the Great Lakes region, including Buganda, Bunyoro-Kitara, Toro, Busoga, Ankole, Acholi, Lango, Bagisu and others. For centuries, organized kingdoms and chiefdoms developed systems of leadership, farming, cattle keeping, craft and trade around the lakes, forests and fertile highlands. Buganda became a powerful kingdom on the northern shores of Lake Victoria, while other societies built distinctive traditions in the west, north and east. British rule established the Uganda Protectorate in 1894, and Uganda gained independence in 1962. Since then, the country has continued to draw strength from its languages, music, dance, storytelling, faiths and living cultural heritage. From the royal traditions of Mengo to the communities surrounding the source of the Nile, Uganda offers a rich story of resilience, diversity and enduring connection to the land.
