In western Uganda, along the districts of Kasese, Bundibugyo, Rukungiri, Kamwenge, and Bushenyi, is where you'll find Queen Elizabeth National Park. The park, which has a surface area of 1978 km2, was first known as Lake Edward and Lake George Game Reserves in the 1920s. The British Colonial Government later designated it as Kazinga National Park in 1952. In honour of the visiting British monarch, the park was named Queen Elizabeth National Park in 1954. The most frequented national park in Uganda is Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of the most well-liked travel destinations in all of Africa. The park, also known as "Medley of Wonders," is a perfect home for large game, 10 different primate species, and over 600 different species of birds.

Religion

Roman Catholics make up one-third of the population, Protestants make up another third, Muslims make up 16% of the population, and 18% of people practise local religions, including a number of millenarian faiths. For more than a century, world religions and local religions have coexisted, and many individuals have developed a set of beliefs about the nature of the cosmos by fusing ideas from both categories. There are numerous religious discourses that focus on witches, ghosts, and other paranormal phenomena.

GEOGRAPHY LINK

Southern Uganda was probably colonized by Bantu speakers by the end of the first millennium. By the fifteenth or sixteenth century, they had established centralized kingdoms, and by the time the country gained independence from British occupation in 1962, about two-thirds of the people were Bantu speakers. They fall into one of two categories: Bantu of the Eastern or Western Lacustrine. The Baganda, whose primary language is Luganda, the Basoga, as well as other smaller societies in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya, are among the Eastern Lacustrine Bantu speakers. The Banyoro, Bastoro, Banyankole, and several other smaller communities in Uganda are Western Lacustrine Bantu speakers.

Economy

The majority of food is made domestically. Uganda exports a variety of items, including corn, coffee, tea, fish and fish products, and fish. Cattle, sheep, and goats can find suitable grazing land thanks to the environment. Over 80% of the workforce is employed in agriculture, making it the most significant sector of the economy. Farmers' cooperatives manage a significant amount of production. In the 1960s and 1970s, smallholder farmers dominated but fell off as a result of civil unrest. By the middle of the 1980s, approximately a hundred ranches had been refilled with cattle thanks to government assistance for farmers. About 20% of the country is covered by lakes, rivers, and swamps, and fishing is a significant rural economy. The shilling is the unit of account.

Food

With the exception of a small number of urban dwellers, most individuals grow their own food. The majority of people eat lunch and dinner twice a day. Tea or porridge is frequently consumed for breakfast. Men and boys older than twelve do not eat in the kitchen, which is separate from the main home. Meals are cooked by women and girls. Typically, cooking is done over an open wood fire. Popular foods include freshwater fish, chicken and beef stews, sweet potatoes, millet bread, the staple meal matoke (made from bananas), and cassava (tapioca or manioc. White potatoes, yams, corn, cabbage, pumpkin, tomatoes, millet, peas, sorghum, beans, groundnuts (peanuts), goat meat, and milk are among the additional foods. Also grown and eaten are oranges, papayas, lemons, and pineapples. Waragi, a banana gin, is the national beverage. Local cuisine is served at restaurants in major cities like Kampala, the capital of Uganda.

NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION

The economic divide between pastoralists in the drier rangelands of the west and north and agriculturists in the better-watered highland and lakeside regions was significant, with Nilotic speakers in the north and Bantu speakers in the south.

There were also religious groups that had historically lost territory to rivals, such as when Christians supporting British colonialism overran Muslim territory at the end of the eighteenth century. All of these differences made it impossible for a national culture to emerge.

There was also a historical distinction between kinship-based governance abroad and the centralised, occasionally autocratic rule of the ancient African kingdoms.

The possession of the land was a frequent source of conflict between the kingdoms. The south possessed railroads, cash crops, a system of Christian missionary schools, and the capital during the colonial era—apparently at the expense of other areas.

The nation's disintegration in the 1970s was influenced by historical enmities and rivalries, ethnic and religious differences, and rivalries.
