Museveni About
Uganda From
UTB site Uganda's
President Museveni, Chairman of the Common Market
for East and Southern African States (COMESA) has
emerged as one of the most significant leaders in
the developing world. Under his helm, Uganda has
distinguished itself as a model post-conflict
reformer - leading the world in tackling HIV/AIDS,
poverty, and illiteracy. Uganda, the fastest
growing economy in Africa, has maintained an
average growth rate of 6.5 percent over the past
ten years; reduced poverty from 56 percent to under
27 percent; decreased the rate of HIV/AIDS
infection from 30 percent to six percent in 10
years; increased primary-level education from 40
percent to 99 percent in twelve years and leads the
developing world in empowering women. |

RELEASE Gorilla - the very word is
exciting. Still living in the heart of the
impenetrable forests of Central Africa are families
of these gentle giants. With expert local
guides, and pre-arranged viewing permits, G.A.P
Traveller can take you to 'meet' the Mountain
Gorillas of Uganda. It is a wildlife
experience like no other. Uganda offers a
collage of bright colours, beautiful scenery, busy
towns and possibly the friendliest people in
Africa. We'll game drive in Queen Elizabeth
and Mburo Parks, search for chimpanzees on foot in
the Kyamburu Gorge, and to finish with a splash -
there's an option to white-water raft from the
source of the Nile, the Bujagali Falls. This 14 day, overland truck
