1. Day Trip to Jinja<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"source-of-the-nile-2\"<\/a>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<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

Jinja is situated approximately 93km from Kampala. En-route to Jinja you make brief stopovers at two popular attractions – Sezibwa Falls<\/a> and Mabira Forest Reserve<\/a>.<\/p>\n
