  • Lake Malawi Destination Guide
    Lake Malawi Destination Guide Overview of Lake Malawi Occupying a fifth of the country, Lake Malawi is the third largest lake in Africa and home to more fish species than any other lake in the world. Also known as Lake Nyasa, it is often referred to as 'the calendar lake' because it is 365 miles (590km) long and 52 miles (85km) wide. Situated between Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, this African Great Lake is about 40,000 years old, a product of the Great Rift Valley fault line. There are fishing villages to be found along the lakeshore where residents catch a range of local fish including chambo, kampango (catfish), lake salmon and tiger fish. The export of fish from the lake contributes significantly to the country's economy, and the delicious chambo, similar to bream, is served in most Malawian eateries. Visitors to Lake Malawi can see colourful mbuna fish in the water, while there are also occasional sightings of crocodiles, hippos, monkeys and African fish eagles along the shore. The nearby Eastern Miombo woodlands are home to African wild dogs. Swimming, snorkelling and diving are popular activities in the tropical waters of the lake, and many visitors also enjoy waterskiing, sailing and fishing. There are many options available for holiday accommodation at the lake, including resorts, guesthouses and caravan or camping parks. All budgets are catered for, with luxury lodges attracting the glamorous and humble campsites hosting families and backpackers. Cape Maclear is a well-developed lakeside town, and nearby Monkey Bay is a great holiday resort area. Club Makokola, near Mangochi, is also a popular resort.

  • 23 East African Railways and Harbours Administration
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Washing%on, D.C. ast Africa High Commission November 29, 195 (2) East African Railways and Harbours Administration Mr. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 22 Fifth Avenue New York 6, New York Dear Mr. Rogers The public Railways and Inland Marine Service of ast Africa, a] oerated by the Railways and Harbours Administration, are by far the rlncipal means of transport of the area. In 1992 they performed some I,98,60,O ton miles of freight haulage and some 6,,898 passenger orneys over ,O99 route miles of metre gauge railway and other routes. The present role of the railway is varie. At the outlying pointB it is rovidlng access to new agrlc,tural areas and to mineral operations. Along established lines it continues to bring in the capital equipment for development and the import goods in demand by the uropean, Asian and African population; but it also is serving increasingly as an economic integrator, allowing regional agricultural specialization so that each smal bloc of territory ned not remain fully self sufficient in food grains. The comparatively cheap*haulage to the coast of larger quantities of export produce, sisal, cotton, coffee, sod-ash, is a necessary facility for the expanding economy of .East Africa. The railway also gives mobility to labor in ast Africa, facilitating the migrations necessary for agricultural purposes and for industries denendent upon large numbers of African personnel. By providing longer heavier haulge services, the railways complement their own and other motor transport service; the natural difficulties of road building and maintanance being formidable in East Africa, it is usually accepted that truck haulage routes should be ancilary to the railway.

  • My Illustrious (But Brief) Military Career Or How My Name Never Made It Ontothe Regimental Roll
    My Illustrious (but brief) Military Career Or How My Name Never Made it OntoThe Regimental Roll [Jitze Couperus] You may be interested in some background as to why I never made it officially on to the Kenya Regiment Long Roll; I was basically, a Uganda boy and while Uganda boys did participate in the CCF (Combined Cadet Force) while at the Prince of Wales School, they were never actually called- up into The Regiment on leaving school. This was because, as Uganda residents, they did not live in a British Colony – rather they lived in what was merely a British Protectorate where conscription rules did not apply. However, Murphy’s Law struck. During my last term at the Prince of Wales, two things happened. My parents moved to Nairobi (thus I was in transition to becoming a Kenya resident) and peace in the Congo blew apart within hours of independence. So my last term at school was cut short; the other boys were sent home early because the dormitories were needed to house Belgian refugees, but I had to stay on as one of a few senior prefects to help receive and settle the refugees. During this exercise it was discovered by “the authorities” that I spoke Dutch (my parents had come originally from Holland) - which was very useful in communicating with some of the Belgians – as Dutch is very similar Flemish. Also I was conversant in the local variety of Swahili spoken in Western Uganda and across the border in The Congo - which was useful in communicating with Greek refugees whom the Belgians had originally imported to work as fundis (craftsmen) in the mines at Union Minière.

INTRODUCTION1.INTRODUCTION Africa is home to some of the world’s fastest- growing economies, some (e.g Ghana) of them lifted by new oil and gas finds. The East African region is emerging as a premier destination for oil and gas exploration and development. Petroleum discoveries have been made in South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique and Kenya. East Africa consumes about 200,000 barrels of petroleum products per day and demand is increasing at an average rate of 7% per year. All petroleum products are currently imported into the region at over US$5 billion per year representing over 25% of the total import bill of Drilling of the Turaco-1 well the region. 3 © Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, Republic of Uganda INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION KEY FACTS ABOUT UGANDA Location: East Africa Land area: Approx.

  • Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project (Arsdp)
    Republic of Uganda ALBERTINE REGION SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (ARSDP) RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK (RPF) VOLUME 1 FINAL DRAFT REPORT NOVEMBER 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The Government of Uganda (GoU) with support of the World Bank (IDA) is preparing the Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project. The Albertine Rift Valley is a center for rapid growth which is likely to accelerate with the oil development underway in the region. To ensure that the benefits of the oil development reach the residents of the area, GoU is keen to improve connectivity to and within the region and local economic infrastructure. The two Districts of Buliisa and Hoima are the focus of the project as well as the Town Council of Buliisa. Hoima Municipality is already included in the USMID project, which is shortly to commence, and is thus not included in the ARSDP. Project Components The Project has three components which are outlined below. Component 1. upgrading of 238km of Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima-Masindi-Kigumba is to be funded by both the AfDB (138km) and The World Bank (IDA) (100km). The RAP for this component has already been prepared, comments reviewed by the Bank and an update of PAPs and property is on going therefore this RPF does not cover component 1. The project coverage for component 2 and 3 will be as described below but in the event that additional districts are added under component 2 and any additioanl technical colleges are added under component 3 this RPF will apply. Component 1: Regional Connectivity: Improvement of the Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima- Kigumba National Road.

  • Uganda Highlights Gorillas, Chimpanzees & Shoebills
    UGANDA HIGHLIGHTS GORILLAS, CHIMPANZEES & SHOEBILLS JUNE 15 – JULY 4, 2020 2019 A male Mountain Gorilla looks skyward in Bwindi Forest (Dion Hobcroft) Uganda Highlights, Page 2 Uganda is where the East African savannah meets the bird-rich West African jungle. Where else but in this impossibly lush country can one observe lions prowling the open plains in the morning and track chimpanzees through the rainforest undergrowth the same afternoon, then the next day navigate tropical channels teeming with Hippopotamus and huge Nile Crocodiles before setting off into the misty mountains to stare deep into the eyes of a Mountain Gorilla? Certainly, Uganda is the only safari destination whose range of forest primates is as impressive as its selection of plains antelope. This tour is designed for people who would like a comfortable highlights package to this fascinating country. We will travel in a spacious air-conditioned coaster bus and spend two to three nights at all of our destinations. While the focus is on Gorillas, Chimpanzees and the Shoebill we will witness a huge diversity of birds and mammals. We have chances to see both leopard and Lion, herds of African Elephant, giraffe and hippopotamus, Cape Buffalo, Zebra and a tremendous diversity of hoofed mammals and primates. The birding is extraordinarily diverse with hornbills, parrots, kingfishers, bee-eaters, turacos, bustards, trogons, hornbills and an array of dazzling sunbirds and weavers leading the charge. We expect to encounter close to 450 species of birds. Uganda is safe and delightfully friendly. As a country it has undergone astonishing changes in recent decades.

  • The Oil and Gas Sector in Uganda Frequently Asked Questions
    The Oil And Gas Sector In Uganda: Frequently Asked Questions THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERAL DEVELOPMENT THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR IN UGANDA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MAY 2019 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development 01 The Oil And Gas Sector In Uganda: Frequently Asked Questions 02 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development The Oil And Gas Sector In Uganda: Frequently Asked Questions THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERAL DEVELOPMENT THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR IN UGANDA: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MAY 2019 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development iii The Oil And Gas Sector In Uganda: Frequently Asked Questions FOREWORD The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development is glad to present this booklet on Frequently Asked Questions on the Oil and Gas Sector in Uganda. The journey to confirm the existence of commercial petroleum resources in Uganda started during the colonial days. Oil seeps were mapped and documented and thereafter wildcat shallow wells were drilled in Kibiro (Hoima), Butiaba (Buliisa) and Semliki valley based on these seepages. These efforts were, however, interrupted by the Second World War and later by colonial policy which zoned the East African region for Agriculture. The political turmoil that existed in Uganda in the 1970s after Independence did not make Uganda an attractive investment destination for petroleum exploration. In the mid-1980s with stability returning to the country, more consistent efforts were undertaken including data acquisition by Government geoscientists, packaging the data for promotion, capacity building and institutional development. These efforts were successful as international oil companies were attracted to invest in petroleum exploration in Uganda in the late 1990s.
