Up until 2011 Sudan had been the largest country in Africa. In July 2011 part of Sudan became independent to form a new country called the Republic of South Sudan, and making Sudan itself smaller. The result of this is that Algeria is now the largest country in Africa, and Sudan is now the third largest.
The nation south of Sudan and west of Kenya is Uganda. Uganda is located in East Africa, bordered by South Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, Rwanda to the southwest, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. It is known for its diverse wildlife, including the endangered mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
