While much of its border is lakeshore, Uganda is landlocked with no access to the sea.The country is mostly plateau with a rim of mountains.
The climate is tropical and generally rainy with two dry seasons (December to February, June to August). It is semiarid in the northeast.

-Cost of Living-
The cost of living in Uganda is much cheaper if you come from the first world. For one person, per month:
Food: $75 (if you buy groceries and cook for yourself and as an example, a loaf of fresh white bread (500g) will cost $0.84)
Transport: Public transport would cost around $20 but that would again depend on distance of commute. (Monthly Pass $28.57)
A meal in a good restaurant per person would cost $2.63. Cinema ticket costs about $5.26. Again, everything really depends on you and how much you spend.
