Whenever a true African culture is talked about, one can
never forget to thing about Uganda which is one of the few countries in the
world with over 45 ethnic groups each with its unique norms and customs. It is
this reason that the country has gained fame over its neighbors when it comes
to cultural safaris and today as you read this, this East African country receives
the highest number of cultural tourists.
One may wonder what’s so special with the culture of
Ugandans especially if he/she has never been to the country. He/She might have
read some literature about it but never picked interest. However, the truth
behind the rich norms that different settings of the people of Uganda believe
in is best understood when one personally visits the country and have a live
view of some of the practices carried out by the people. Though most of the
ethnic groups fond in the country migrated from other areas like West Africa, it
is believed that the real concentration of the true African culture moved with
them and it can only be explored from this “pearl of Africa”.
Uganda has over 45 ethnic groups each with its own cultural
norms and values. These are strategically located each found in its own region
and when you come on a Uganda cultural safari, your trip will be simple as you won’t
hustle looking for the various tribes for long hours. However, urban areas
especially the capital city of Uganda, Kampala are occupied by people from
different cultural backgrounds and one thing that pools them together is
business. They leave their home villages and come to the city to forge a way of
living. This is the reason why when on a Kampala city tour, you may get
surprised to hear over 45 different languages in just one day.
Therefore, for an adventurous cultural safari that will
provide you with the most appropriate experience you have been looking for, Uganda
is the best destination.
