Featuring a volcano with the largest base in the world, what east-central African country lies on the shores of Lake Victoria?

Winston Churchill called Uganda "the pearl of Africa," writing: “Uganda is a fairy-tale. You climb up a railway instead of a beanstalk, and at the end there is a wonderful new world." And Churchill was right. Uganda is a large diverse country with its capital of Kampala lying on the shores of the largest freshwater lake in Africa: Lake Victoria. As for that volcano, with a base spanning 50 to 80 kilometers, Mount Elgon is so big that its forests are home to hundreds of bird species, buffaloes, leopards, elephants, and bush pigs.
