Uganda - "The Pearl of Africa"

Since I'll be going to Uganda soon, I thought I better read up some about the country and it's customs so I'll know a little of what to expect. Here's a few interesting facts I learned...

Uganda Weather:
Uganda has tropical weather conditions which are moderated by the high altitudes. The hottest months are from December to February but it is still cooler at night. The wet seasons in the south of Uganda are from March till May and in northern Uganda from April to October. You can find current weather conditions in Lira, Uganda here.

Spring: November - December
Summer: December - February
Autumn: March - April
Winter: May - October

Uganda is a little smaller than the state of Oregon.
