Uganda

Luwombo

The method of cooking fish and meat together is widespread in Africa with cuisines that often blend sea and land animals. Oluwombo or luwombo is a traditional Ugandan recipe. It is both a royal dish and a fairly common dish cooked especially during the holidays. It was originally created in 1887 by the personal chef of Kabaka Mwanga, an interesting king who ruled the kingdom of Buganda (Uganda region where the country got its name from) at the end of the nineteenth century.

Culture - Uganda

Despite Uganda’s long history the people have still managed to keep hold of their many unique cultures, with the Bantu-speaking people influencing most of the country’s culture.
In the north the Lango and the Acholi tribes are prominent, while in the east the Iteso and Karamojong tribes can be seen. The rainforests in western Uganda are still inhabited by the Pygmies. The traditional kanzu is the national dress for men, while women are clad in gomesi.

Queen Elizabeth Park is the most visited park in the country, which spans across four districts and occupies 764 square miles of land, extending from Lake George to Lake Edward.
In addition to these two lakes, Uganda is also home to three other African Great Lakes, Lake Albert, Lake Kyoga and Lake Victoria.
Still, the entire country is filled with landscapes that look like they are fresh out of the latest volume of National Geographic.
