Jinja, the source of the Nile daytrip from Kampala - I did the Jinja day trip (from Kampala) with Nasser on Feb. 28. Nasser was a good guide. The program was good (Ssebwa Falls, quick drive through Jinja, the boat tour on the Nile). The boat tour to the "official" source of the Nile was great! It was a good experience and I would recommend to other travelers, whether solo or in small groups.

One day in Jinja! - Our clients had a limited stay in Kampala and sought to visit the source of the Nile. An early departure was planned and off to Jinja, with our first destination being Ssezibwa falls. A pleasant surprise for our guests! The thunderous falls and the rich history of the place added to the wow moment. Jinja was calling and with the lunch hour finding us at Najjembe a roadside market with lots of street food! The barbecue chicken was amazing. Jinja had alot of offerings but given the limited time we took a boat cruise coming off at the source of the Nile and this formed the epitome of our journey! The statue of Mahatma Gandhi whose ashes were spread in the Nile was another rich part of history to share in. The drive back to Kampala was exciting and full of reflection on the experiences back in Jinja. Our recommendation is a two day, one night exploration of this city that offers more than the source of the mighty Nile river.

Great day trip to escape the busy Kampala - The tour was great visiting a beautiful waterfall and the source of Nile. Since I just visited Cairo and saw the almost end of the Nile, seeing the source was very special. Our guide, Nasser, was very knowledgeable sharing about the stories behind what we saw. Highly recommended for those who are looking to escape the busy Kampala for a day.

The Source of the Nile and Fresh Victoria - Extraordinary scenery & wonderful views.. The true definition of mother nature! At a point where the River divorces the lake.

A day of exploration, discovery, dreaming and finds - Wşth a friend of mine we had a very inspiring trip to Jinja. Itinerary was great and our driver Naseer made it even more entertaining with all the stories / insight he told around the visited sites. Seeing lake Victoria was mind blowing. The driving is tough but our vehicle was comfortable with AC .had a great coffee at Source cafe in Jinja. Our highlights were the waterfall and the source of Nile.

Perfect one-day trip out of Kampala - I had a lovely outing to Jinja. Perfect for a one-day trip out of bustling Kampala. Our guide was knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. I really enjoyed seeing Jinja again since it was a long time since, and the stop at Ssezibwe, and the boat tour on Victoria Lake made a very good experience overall.

Amazing tour to Jinja - This one day trip is ideal for solo travellers in Uganda. The driver and guide, Nasser, was very kind and attentive. He shared so much knowledge about Uganda and took us to the best places. Lunch had a great local food, seeing the source of the Nile is a must and we even had a swim stop on Lake Victoria. I recommend 100%.
