By 1879, Uganda 🇺🇬 was the only place in the world where C-section were performed to save both mother and baby.
European observers documented this practice, which used local tools, herbal anesthetics, & antiseptics.
Visitors from around the world continue to create unforgettable memories across Uganda’s protected areas, from thrilling game drives and gorilla trekking to breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters.
