Source of the Nile - Speke Monument- Historic Site
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
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.

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.
