Uganda - 2008
From Lake Nakuru in Kenya my tour travelled over poor roads to Eldoret and the next day
we crossed the border into Uganda and travelled on to Jinja.
Uganda appeared to me as a country with rich soil and abundant rainfall.
The landscapes, with their terraced fields and tropical crops, looked very similar to those on Java
that I had seen earlier in the year.
However unlike Java where oxen and some tractors are seen ploughing the land, I did not see either in Uganda.
Also there were far fewer motorcycles than in Asia.
At the Equator in Uganda
Considerable amounts of the farmed land was terraced and the landscapes
were similar to those that I have seen in Asia and South America
