Uganda enchanted the young Winston Churchill, who described it as a “fairy tale” and “a wonderful new world”. No wonder, since it offers a close encounter with gorillas, delights with its mountain peaks shrouded in thick fog and a sun-drenched savannah full of wild animals. It is matched by Rwanda which is called “the land of a thousand hills”. It is famous for its pristine terrain, wild nature and excellent conditions for growing coffee.
