After a long absence from my blog, here's one of my favorite covers - An exotic cover from the exotic African country Uganda.
I self-posted this envelope for myself during my recent visit to Africa that comprises of travels to a few poor yet very beautiful countries. The manifest included Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo.
The envelope is postmarked 20 Oct 2014 from the General Post Office in the capital city Kampala. I used different stamps available in the post office from different years.

- The right most stamp is part of the series of flowering plants showing Callandra Haematocephala.
- The second stamp from the right shows a school building with children playing. The inscription on the cover says "Education for All in the New Millennium".
- The smaller stamp in the middle shows an elegant Nile Crocodile. The stamp costs 500 Ugandan Shillings (UGX).
- The two stamps on the left is a part of 10 stamps issued on 30th Anniversary of PAPU (Pan African Postal Union Day). The set was issued in 2010. All stamps feature Gorillas in the wild.
