JigsawUganda Puzzles
Uganda, in East Africa, was once called the Pearl of Africa for its green hills, lakes and forests. It lies on the shores of Lake Victoria, where the River Nile begins its long journey north. Our Uganda puzzles visit its mountain gorillas, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Victoria.

About Uganda
About half of all the mountain gorillas in the world live in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a steep, misty rainforest in the south-west of the country. Gorillas live in family groups led by a large male called a silverback, after the grey hair on his back, and visitors can spend one hour with a group accompanied by rangers.
In the north-west, the Nile forces its way through a narrow gap in the rock at Murchison Falls. Further south, Queen Elizabeth National Park is known for its tree-climbing lions and for the elephants and hippos along the Kazinga Channel, while terraced hills surround the islands of Lake Bunyonyi. Long-horned Ankole cattle graze all over the country.
