Geography of Uganda
Uganda is located in eastern Africa, west of Kenya, south of South Sudan, east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and north of Rwanda and Tanzania. It is in the heart of the Great Lakes region, and is surrounded by three of them, Lake Edward, Lake Albert, and Lake Victoria. While much of its border is lakeshore, Uganda is landlocked with no access to the sea.
Despite being on the equator, Uganda is more temperate than the surrounding areas because of its high altitude. The country is mostly plateau with a rim of mountains.〔 This has made it more suitable to agriculture and less prone to tropical diseases than other nations in the region.
The climate is tropical and generally rainy with two dry seasons (December to February, June to August).〔 It is semiarid in the northeast.〔
