PLANTING IN UGANDA 



CHAPTER I. 



Physical Features of the Country 



Nature of the Country. The part of the 

 " Uganda Protectorate" which at present attracts 

 planters is the region lying along the northern and 

 north-western shores of the Victoria Nyanza, 

 Other parts doubtless possess equal or greater 

 natural advantages, but, unlike this, they have not 

 yet been opened up by railways or roads, and so the 

 immigrant fights shy of settling in them. The two 

 provinces comprised in this region are known 

 respectively as the Uganda Province, or Buganda, 

 and the Central Province, or Busoga. Their 

 elevation above the sea-level is about four thousand 

 feet, and the Equator divides their entire area 

 into two almost equal parts.
