Countries that border Uganda
5 land neighbours: the DR Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan and Tanzania. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.
17 countries in Africa have more than its 5 land borders; it is the same as the Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya and Senegal. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Uganda, and on the world map with everyone else.
