Uganda Plants


Uganda plants include a number of rare plant species seldom found anywhere else, including giant species of flowering plants, plus a number of tropical forest species. Green, leafy plants make up the greater percentage of Uganda’s lush forests, with many evergreen species found. The tropical climate, summer rains and fertile soil make Uganda extremely green, despite issues such as deforestation, desertification, land abuse and pollution slowly reducing the percentage of natural forest in the country.

Vegetation in Uganda


Vegetation in Uganda is typical of a tropical climate, with densely vegetated areas in the south, savanna woodlands in the central plateau, dense forest and cultivated land in the western highlands and bamboo forest that gives way to Afro-alpine moorland, with giant species of groundsel, heather and lobelias.
