The Republic of Uganda 

Is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also bordered by Kenya and Tanzania.

Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom, which encompassed a portion of the south of the country including the capital Kampala.

Mbale is one of the biggest towns in Eastern Uganda (about 85.000 population) and therefore a regional trading hub, serving the hinterlands of Teso region and Karamoja, the last wilderness in Uganda.

It is hugged onto the foothills of the biggest extinct volcanoe (70 x 50 km)on the earth's surface, the Mount Elgon (Wagagai, 4321m), locally called Masaba. Nights are generally cool and days can become quite hot, especially during the dry season.

Mbale is well connected with the rest of Uganda and Kenya through their tarmac road networks and along the main trading route to South Sudan.

Uganda also known as the "Pearl of Africa" is endowed with a wealth of attractions and Eastern Uganda crowns it all.

With the Mount Elgon, Sipi Falls, Nyero Rocks, Wanale Hills to mention but a few, Eastern Uganda offers a perfect destination for Nature Lovers.
