In brief detail about the Gorrillas.....

A gorilla's day is synchronized, divided between rest periods and travel or feeding periods. Diets differ between and within species. Mountain gorillas mostly eat foliage, such as leaves, stems, pith, and shoots, while fruit makes up a very small part of their diet^. Mountain gorilla food is widely distributed and both individuals and groups do not have to compete with each other. Their home ranges average 3–15 km² (1.16–5.79 mi²), and their movements range around 500 m (0.311 mi) or less on an average day^, Despite eating a few species in each habitat, mountain gorillas have flexible diets and can live in a variety of habitats^,
Eastern lowland gorillas have more diverse diets, which vary seasonally. Leaves and pith are commonly eaten, but fruits can make up as much as 25% of their diets. Since fruit is less available, lowland gorillas must travel farther each day, and their home ranges vary from 2.7–6.5 km² (1.04 to 2.51 mi²), with day ranges 154–2280 m (0.096–1.42 mi). Eastern lowland gorillas will also eat insects, preferably ants Western lowland gorillas depend on fruits more than the others and they are more dispersed across their range. They travel even further than the other gorilla subspecies, at 1105 m (0.687 mi) per day on average, and have larger home ranges of 7–14 km² (2.70–5.41 mi²) Western lowland gorillas have less access to terrestrial herbs, although they can access aquatic herbs in some areas. Termites and ants are also eaten.
Gorillas rarely drink water "because they consume succulent vegetation that is comprised of almost half water as well as morning dew" although both mountain and lowland gorillas have been observed drinking.
One possible predator of gorillas is the leopard. Gorilla remains have been found in leopard scat, but this may be the result of scavenging When the group is attacked by humans, leopards, or other gorillas, an individual silverback will protect the group, even at the cost of his own life^. silverback gorilla and a leopard were both found dead from mutually inflicted wounds"

Its about Uganda the pearl of Africa..........

Uganda is ethnologically diverse, with at least 40 languages in usage. Luganda is the most common language. English is the official language of Uganda, even though only a relatively small proportion of the population speaks it. Access to economic and political power is almost impossible without having mastered that language. The East African lingua franca Swahili is relatively widespread as a trade language and was made an official national language of Uganda in September 2005. Luganda, a language widespread in central Uganda, has been the official vernacular language in education for central Uganda for a long time.


^{Ugali which is maize flour is mixed with water to make porridge for breakfast mainly for children. For main means, maize flour is added to some water in a saucepan and stirred into the ugali is firm like American cornbread. It is then turned out onto a serving plate and cut into individual slices (or served onto individual plates in the kitchen). believe me, there is alot to know about Uganda}

Bringing close to you the karimojong.

The Karimojong live and die for cattle — the determinant of seemingly everything in a pastoral life.  This is what drives many to live on the edge, as nomadic warriors are constantly on the move to find enough water, to increase their herds, to defend their own and to get cattle for dowries.  Women often stay at one central settlement called a manyata or ere, where they look over small farms and raise the young children.

Even though the region they inhabit seems lawless, the Karimojong traditionally have a relatively democratic society based on a patriarchal age-set system led by the warriors, also known as the Gazelles or ngigetei, and, above all, the elders, also known as the Mountains or ngimoru.  Life is communal on the whole with men taking many wives, if they can afford their dowries, and extended families often living together or near each other and participating in everyday tasks together.

Its just alot that you will need to know about the beautiful and interesting tribe in the northern part of uganda

queen elizabeth national park.. aplace to be.............................

Queen Elizabeth National Park occupies an estimated 1,978 square kilometres (764 sq mi) of which, about 17% lies in Kasese District, 50% in Bushenyi District and an estimated 33% lies in Rukungiri District. The area of the park extends from Lake George in the northeast to Lake Edward in the southwest, and includes the Kazinga Channel that connects the two lakes.
The park is named after Queen Elizabeth II and was established in 1954. The park was later renamed Ruwenzori before it returned to its royal name. QENP is known for its wildlife, although many animals were killed in the Uganda-Tanzania War. Many species have recovered, including hippopotamuses, elephants, leopards, lions and chimpanzees; it is now home to 95 species of mammal and over 500 species of birds. The area around Ishasha in Rukungiri District is famous for its tree-climbing lions, whose males sport black manes, a feature unique to the lions in this area.
The park is also famous for its volcanic features, comprising volcanic cones and deep craters, many with crater lakes such as Lake Katwe, from which salt is extracted.
The national park includes the Maramagambo Forest and borders Kigezi Game Reserve, Kyambura Game Reserve and Kibale National Park in Uganda, and the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Queen Elizabeth National Park and The Queen Elizabeth Country Park in England are twinned in a project of "cultural exchange, mutual support and has its main emphasis on supporting Conservation through working closely with and empowering local communities".
Services in the park include a telecenter run by Conservation Through Public Health and the Uganda Wildlife Authority, neighboring The Queen's Pavilion, park lodges, game drives and scenic drives, and boat launches.

The uganda Nile Crocodiles:

Thank goodness that Nile Crocodiles feed mostly on fish and the one found in Uganda is the largest living reptile dating back 150 million years. They will prey on mammals as they come to water, and here in Uganda you have cases along lakes where every year someone is killed by a crocodile, but you coming on Safari are quite safe since you will view them on a boat launch trip along the Nile at Murchison Falls, or along the Kazinga Channel Shores and at Lake Mburo as you take your trip on the lake.
