APEX AGE: MODERN
From the shores of Nnalubaale – Lake Victoria – were launched the deadly war canoes of Buganda. By the late 19th century, Buganda was the most populous place in Africa's interior, with man-made lakes, a well-ordered city, and envoys from all the surrounding people seeking the king's ear. And well they should – Bagandan raids were a terrifying force.
