Jinja & Source of the Nile Tours

Stand at the birthplace of a great river: Jinja, where the White Nile begins its journey from Lake Victoria, is Uganda’s adventure capital. Day trips from Kampala combine a boat ride to the source of the Nile, thrilling white-water rafting, and a stop at the Equator line, an action-packed escape east of the city.
