Description
Rukiga is a district located in the southwestern part of Uganda. It was officially established in 2017, having been carved out of the larger Kabale District. The district is known for its picturesque landscapes, characterized by rolling hills, valleys, and a pleasant climate which is conducive to agriculture.
Rukiga is predominantly inhabited by the Bakiga people, who are known for their rich cultural heritage and traditions. The local economy is largely based on subsistence farming, with crops such as beans, maize, and potatoes being commonly cultivated. Livestock rearing is also an important part of the livelihood for many families in the area.
Tourism is gradually developing in Rukiga, with opportunities for hiking, bird watching, and cultural experiences. The district is also near several national parks, including Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, famous for its mountain gorillas, making it an attractive destination for eco-tourists.
