Why Kasese
Kasese district has a total surface area of 3,389 square kilometers, with 86% land area, 63% of this land area is covered by nature and wildlife reserves and government institutions.
This implies only 1,077square kilometers available as arable land for the 785,557 population in the district, one of the highest populations densities in Uganda at 450 persons per square kilometer.
It is very difficult to carry out agriculture for food production and household incomes.
Gateway to some of the most active tourism sites in Uganda including Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Mount Rwenzori National Park. Over 85,000 tourists went through Kasese district in 2019 to visit these attractions.
