Perfect day trip - A friend and I did this tour in June 24. Was a perfect daytrip to Jinja. Very nice view at the waterfalls. Super peaceful in this area. Had enough time on the nile to look at the nature and if you are lucky, you will see some animals. Thanks for organize this trip.

An absolute must do - Jinja was an unforgettable experience. The Started with a short visit to Ssezibwa Falls, the natural beauty and the soothing sound of a waterfall left me in awe. Then, journeying to the Source of the Nile, I was captivated by its serene atmosphere and the significance of this historic spot. After the adventure we enjoyed the local Ugandan cuisine added a flavorful touch to the day, making it a truly immersive cultural experience. A day filled with natural wonders, history, and delicious food. I recommend the experience to anyone.

Unforgettable trip to the Nile - Spent a day in jinja with a visit to Ssezibwa falls and the source of the Nile . Our journey was extremely fun with the guide teaching us about the history of the Nile and witnessing its beauty in the boat trip. Visiting the point itself where the Nile starts from was my highlight and breathtaking. This was an unforgettable adventure in Uganda
