Explore The Source The River Nile On A Self-Drive Trip In Jinja - Jinja Tours

 Jinja is a town in Eastern Uganda famously known as the 'East Africa's centre for Adventure'. Jinja is endowed with lots of tourist attractions ranging from adventure sports, game viewing, bird watching, community encounters and forest walks that give an extraordinary experience that sticks to your minds ever.

Home Of The Source Of The Nile: The World Longest River

The longest river in the world that supports millions of lives of Africans for centuries originates from Jinja-Uganda where it departs from the second largest fresh water lake known as Lake Victoria. River Nile flows northwards measuring 4,258 miles shared by eleven countries on the eastern side of the African continent namely Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Eritrea, South Sudan and North Sudan. The Nile continues its journey to North Africa until it pours into the Mediterranean Sea. The river forms a number of rapids that offers a tremendous opportunity for adventure sports such as white water rafting, kayaking, and boat cruises.

Adventure Falls in Jinja

The Itanda Falls: Known to kayakers and rafters, including Prince William of Great Britain, this stretch of the Nile is easily one of the most hidden jewels of Uganda. Itanda Falls has spectacular set of rapids, waterfalls and the hillsides around it. Even fewer know how to get there over land.  To locals Itanda falls is considered a sacred site usually referred to as “Blessed Place” where those living near the falls come to pray at the base of a tree in times of adversity such as when they need a physical miracle.

Kalagala Falls: Kalagala is another one of the easy day trips to make out of Jinja. Aside from the falls proper there are a couple of nice rapids to view but the hidden gem is a small swimming area quite off the beaten path. Kalagala doesn’t get many visitors anyway so you’re almost guaranteed some privacy.

Bujagalai Falls: Their rafting trips offer clients some of the best wild-water in the World, combined with beautiful sections of lush, green, African scenery at the start of Africa’s longest river and one of the most important rivers in the World.  Often rafts flipped dumping occupants into the churning water, dragging them under and spitting them back up to be rescued by the safety kayakers waiting downstream.
Other adventure activities such as; kayaking, ATV/Quad bike safaris, horse riding, a bungee jump, boating, sight-seeing, fishing & bird-watching trips, jet-boating, mountain biking, canoeing and tubing which will leave you thrilling for more.
