Uganda, officially the Republic of Uganda (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Uganda), is a stunning landlocked country in East- Central Africa, bordered by Kenya to the east, South Sudan to the north, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, Rwanda to the southwest, and Tanzania to the south. The southern region includes a significant portion of Lake Victoria, which is shared with Kenya and Tanzania.
