1 Day Source of the Nile Tour in Jinja

Source of the Nile - Speke Monument

After lunch you will take a short ride to the Source of the Nile – a quiet, beautiful place filled with fantastic tropical plants and palm trees. As you walk down the steps toward the Nile, you will be able to smell the flowers there. As you stand on the Nile, you will hear the gurgling water as you watch native fishermen cast their nets on the longest river in Africa. You will then be taken on a Boat Ride to the actual source of the Nile, and beyond the lake where you will take great pictures for future memories and reference. After the boat ride, you shall be driven to Jinja town, once the industrial capital of Uganda but today a residential town filled with numerous Indian-styled old structures in which many Indians lived before being expelled by President Idi Amin in the 1970s, some of whom later came back to reclaim their old properties. Jinja is a multicultural town dominated by native Basoga, mixed up with Bagwere, Baganda, Banyankore, Basamya and other eastern Uganda tribes, making it a fusion of a true Uganda town good for any visitor to interact with.
