I visited Uganda for 5 days. Here are my observations
-
I was in Kampala, Entebbe, and travelled west to Fort Portal.
-
Uganda is one of the prettiest nations on this planet. The forests are wow to behold.
-
There seems to be peace and well-behaved citizens everywhere i go, even in the rural poor villages. I did not witness any theft or anything along that line of human behavior.
-
Unlike in southern African countries where wealth is in the hands of few light-skinned people while the darker-skinned generally live in observable poverty, I did not observe such in Uganda.
-
I also feel that standards of living is relatively moderately high. I saw very few beggars on the streets, i counted just very few (mostly mentally challenged)
-
I have to say that Ugandans do a very bad PR job of letting the world know the jewel their country really is. You guys need to advertise your country to the world. It is an economic weapon
-
I'll recommend that the visa requirement and the delay in getting visa should be looked into. If possible, visa-on-arrival should be the norm, especially for countries with no immigration issues.
