Jinja is a lively riverside town on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, famed as the historic source of the Nile River. Once a colonial port, it has evolved into Uganda’s adventure capital — a place where adrenaline, nature, and culture converge.

Here, you can raft down roaring rapids, bungee jump into the Nile, or simply watch the river’s calm beginnings from a boat cruise. Beyond adventure, Jinja’s colonial architecture and craft markets give it a laid-back charm that invites longer stays.

*Fact: The Nile flows over 6,600 km from Jinja to Egypt — the longest river on Earth.*
