Did You Know?

The Source of the Nile

Lake Victoria, on Kampala's doorstep, is the largest tropical lake in the world at about 68,800 square kilometres, and the White Nile leaves it at Jinja nearby — a source that Europeans spent most of the 19th century arguing about.

The clock: Kampala keeps UTC+3 almost exactly on the equator, where sunrise and sunset stay within a few minutes of 07:00 and 19:00 all year.
