Book Description
Uganda Animal Kingdom. African might. There are a number of reasons why people are choosing to take Tour and holidays in Uganda out of all the 54 countries on the African continent. After many years of bad publicity from wars and disease, things turned around for Uganda, especially in 2006, when Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army were run out of the country. Some of the things that have caused this surge in popularity and made Uganda make it to the list of the top 20 travel destinations include; Primates such as Gorillas: It came to the attention of both Uganda and the rest of the world that Uganda is primate country. From monkeys, to baboons to chimpanzees and to the rare and sought after golden monkeys and mountain gorillas. There is no better country to visit if you are looking to see primates of different kinds. In the past five years gorilla trekking in Uganda has become one of the most sought after Africa safari adventures. The pearl of Africa is home to more than half of the world's population of mountain gorillas, and some of these have been habituated so visitors can get to see them in their natural habitat. Chimpanzees too are an attraction in Uganda, they are found in various places in the western part of Uganda. The golden monkeys, also quite a rare species are found in Mgahinga national park on the foothills of the Virunga Mountains. It is because of the abundance of primates that Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Mgahinga national park, and other parks in the western part of the country have a lot of tourist traffic

Book Description
Located in East Africa, the country of Uganda is rich in both history and culture. A former British colony, Uganda experienced several decades of turmoil after gaining its independence in 1962, enduring both military dictatorship and guerrilla insurgency. Today, Uganda has achieved a degree of political and economic stability, but poverty, disease, and climate change pose ongoing problems. Accompanied by full-color photographs and informative sidebars, this comprehensive text teaches readers about the challenges faced by modern Uganda, as well as the history, economy, traditions, and cultural contributions of the Ugandan people.

Book Description
The Bradt Guide to Uganda, now more than 500-pages long, is the definitive travel handbook to this wonderful but oft-neglected destination, not only providing comprehensive background information to its varied national parks, towns and other cultural attractions, but also including detailed reviews of the ever-growing selection of world-class lodges and budget hotels that service them. Uganda boasts the most varied – and arguably the most exciting – safari circuit in Africa. The lush montane forests of Bwindi protect the world’s largest remaining population of mountain gorillas, many of which have become habituated to tourists and can be tracked to within a few metres on foot. Elsewhere, Queen Elizabeth National Park, set below the snow-capped Mountains of the Moon, is renowned for its tree-climbing lions and abundant buffaloes. Elephants abound in Murchison Falls National Park, coursed through by a dramatic stretch of the White Nile dense with hippos, crocodiles and waterfowl, while Kibale Forest offers superb chimpanzee tracking as well as the opportunity to see ten other monkey species in their natural jungle habitat. For birders, an astonishing checklist of more than 1,000 species – in a country similar in size to Great Britain or the state of Oregon ¬– includes dozens of Western rainforest specials difficult to see elsewhere, as well as the iconic great blue turaco and shoebill. Philip Briggs is the world’s foremost writer of guidebooks to Africa. He has been exploring the continent’s highways, byways and backwaters for over 30 years.

Book Description
To the astonishment and dismay of Anglican leadership in the Global North, Nigeria’s Archbishop Peter Akinola led the Global South’s revolt against the campaign to normalize homosexuality within the global Anglican communion. For this, he was twice recognized by Time magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People” on earth. As shepherd of an immense Nigerian flock, he joined arms with like-minded archbishops in Africa, Asia, and South America to insist that the church be guided by the Bible rather than culture. Here is the remarkable story of this conflict, from its social beginnings in nineteenth-century Germany, through the renegade behavior of national churches in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, on to gatherings addressing the issues—from Dromantine, Northern Ireland, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At one point, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who had been enabling the “progressives,” challenged Archbishop Akinola, “We shall see who blinks first!” Since that day, it is clear that neither Akinola nor his colleagues have blinked. Indeed, through the formation of GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference) and union with biblically faithful Anglicans in the Global North, they are pressing their cause with an eye toward the next decennial assembly of bishops at Lambeth.
