The capital and largest city is Kampala and Uganda attained independence from the United Kingdom on October 9th 1962. Most of the population falls into one of three main ethnic groups: Bantu, Nilotic, and Central-Sudanic (traditionally called Nilo-Hamitic) with the Bantu being the most numerous. Around 40 languages are used in the country, though English became the official language after independence and Swahili was approved as a second official language in 2005.

Fish forms a significant part in the Ugandan diet and may be fresh, smoked or salted and dried. |
