Uganda in Pictures

We are amazingly lucky to have many talented photographers visit ROWAN, so we always have a huge stock of images we want to share. However today we thought we’d do something a little different, today we want to take a look into Uganda’s past. We don’t know much about any of them, but that doesn’t make them any less interesting to view. We hope you like this little trip down Uganda’s memory lane.

Masaba chiefs meeting with Europeans – 1909.

Looking Back

All of these pictures were found in the public domain (most of them came from two books about Uganda) so we titled them the way they appeared to us. It was great fun to look back at the Uganda of yesterday. Considering these pictures are roughly 100 years old, they are great shots! We hope our readers will enjoy a different kind of flashback, to before the ROWAN founders were even born.
