Uganda is a land-locked country near the middle of Africa. Its neighbors are South Sudan (north), Kenya (east), Tanzania and Rwanda (south) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (west).

The south-eastern corner of the country is filled by part of Lake Victoria, a very large lake Uganda shares with Tanzania and Kenya. Uganda's capital, Kampala, lies on its shore.
