Uganda has a population of 44.3 million people.

According to data from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, Uganda's national population in 2021 is approximately 44.3 million, and the labor force accounts for approximately 43% of the total population (2017 data).

The population around Kampala, the capital, and in the southwest is densely populated, while the population in the northeast is relatively scattered.

Uganda is a multi-ethnic country.

Divided by language, there are four major ethnic groups: Bantu, Nile, Nile-Semitic and Sudanese.

Each ethnic group consists of several ethnic groups.

The Bantu ethnic group accounts for more than 2/3 of the total population, including 20 ethnic groups including the Baganda (accounting for 18% of the total population), Baniankole (accounting for 16% of the total population), Bakiga and Basoga.

.

The Nile ethnic group includes five ethnic groups including Langi and Acholi.

The Nile-Semitic ethnic group includes seven ethnic groups including Iteso and Karamojong.

The Sudanese ethnic group includes four ethnic groups, including Lugbara and Madi.

A Ugandan specialty is banana rice called "Matoki".

"Matoki" is made from a non-sweet banana variety, peeled and mashed into a puree, steamed and mixed with red bean juice, peanut butter, braised chicken nuggets, and curry beef.

People who have eaten "Matoki" generally praise it as "the most delicious meal in the world", so it has become the main course of the Ugandan state banquet.

Uganda’s “national drink” is made from a mixture of fermented bananas and sorghum noodles, which is sweet and mellow.

According to local traditional culture, we know that when a banquet is held, a wine jar is placed on the table with a 1-meter-long straw pipe inserted on the top of the jar, and the guests and hosts suck at each other.

This is the local characteristic culture, and foreign tourists can go there to experience their unique customs.
