Uganda Satellite Map

Uganda occupies a total area of 241,038 square kilometers (93,065 sq mi). In comparison, it’s larger than Ghana but smaller than Guinea. Even though it is a landlocked country, it still has an abundance of lakes and rivers. That’s why it’s recognized as being at the heart of the African Great Lakes region.

For example, not only does it contain Lakes Victoria and Kyoga. But there are Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and Lake George. Within Lake Victoria, it holds several large islands such as Bugala, Lulamba, Bukasa, Kome, Damba, and Buvuma Island. Uganda lies between 1º S and 4º N latitude on the equator so its climate is mostly warm tropical with two distinct rainy seasons.
