Why is Uganda called the Pearl of Africa?

Uganda is called the Pearl of Africa as a result of Winston Churchill’s reference to the East African country in this manner in his 1908 book, „My African Journey.“ Churchill’s use of the descriptive metaphor was inspired by his impression of the country as an example of magnificence in its „variety of form and color“ and its „profusion of brilliant life.“ Among its many notable landscape features, the landlocked nation contains a significant portion of the largest lake on the African continent, Lake Victoria, and is home to the Nile River’s Murchison Waterfall
