1. Day Trip to Jinja
This is a day trip to Jinja that aims to offer visitors a lifetime opportunity to explore the source of the longest River of the world and one of Africa’s seven natural wonders – the Nile. The underground waters which form the source visibly bubble up right at the edge and into Lake Victoria, before flowing away. You take a boat ride to source of the Nile, and extend to lake Victoria, enjoying the beautiful scenery of lush vegetation and lots of wildlife such as water birds and lizards.
Jinja is situated approximately 93km from Kampala. En-route to Jinja you make brief stopovers at two popular attractions – Sezibwa Falls and Mabira Forest Reserve.
