Itanda Falls Jinja, Uganda

Located in Jinja—Uganda’s adventure capital—the Itanda Falls are rapids on the White Nile River, popular for both whitewater rafting and high-level kayaking. It is an alternative to the more popular and powerful Murchison Falls, and Bugjagali Falls, which has become submerged due to dam construction.

Marvel at the roaring volume and power of the Nile at this sacred site, where locals come to pray for miracles. There aren’t any facilities at the falls, so come prepared with supplies. Otherwise, sign up for a safari or adventure tour that will take you to the falls from Jinja, and typically includes rafting equipment, meals and entry

Source of the Nile - Speke Monument- Historic Site, Jinja, Uganda The authentic, original Source of the Nile Site, where the British Explorer Speke first discovered the River Nile (of course the Africans knew there was a river, but anyway..). Stand where he stood, take a picture with the monument, go for boatrides across the river nile and into Lake Victoria, see monkeys, monitor lizards, pythons (and maybe even an authentic African Witchdoctor). The site also allows for camping, nature walks, parties and occasions with a truly spectacular nature setting. Ideal for Birdwatching and anyone looking for 1 day tour in the Ugandan Countryside.

Bujagali Falls Jinja, Uganda Bujagali Falls used to be a very popular site to see raids and waterfalls on the Nile. Unfortunately a dam constructed down stream has raised the level of the water to cover the falls. However there is an option to take boat tour for about 2 hours to travel a few Km up the river to the base of the Owens falls Dam where there are still some rapids.

Source of Nile River Jinja, Uganda This source of the Nile River from Lake Victoria in Uganda is a must see when you are in Uganda. It is close to the town of Jinja and is a beautiful piece .

Busowoko Waterfalls - Waterfalls Jinja, Uganda The waterfalls lie in Nawampanda village about 25km from the Source of the Nile in Jinja district. Busowoko Falls is one of the last waterfalls remaining on the upper Victoria Nile. his 2 Days Jinja Adventure Tour features a visit to the Busowoko Falls, Nile Cruise, Uganda Railway Museum & Ziplining at Mabira Forest.

Mabira forest - National forest in Uganda Mabira Forest Reserve is a preferred destination Eco-tourists. The forest receives most of the tourist coming to Uganda primarily to visit forests. The prime attractions in the Mabira forest area are; forest species, birds, primates, butterflies, hills, rivers among others.

Griffin Falls - Waterfalls Griffin Falls Camp, village, Forest, and most of all Ziplining was my biggest highlight so far in Uganda. Griffin Falls Camp is conveniently located just 10 km off the highway between Kampala and Jinja Located in Wasswa village in Lugazi district has a variety of activities to offer to everybody to enjoy for instance zip lining for

Nile Reptile Park - Nature & Wildlife Areas in Jinja All that slithers - cobras, pythons, vipers, chameleons, Monitor Lizards, and the prize attraction, 300kg Carol the Nile Crocodile. Guaranteed you will never get this close to this magnificent beast.
