Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Kampala to Jinja, passing through lush countryside and local villages. On the way, you’ll stop at Mabira Forest for a guided nature walk through one of Uganda’s last tropical rainforests. Upon arrival in Jinja, you’ll check into a riverside lodge and have some time to relax. Later in the afternoon, take a boat ride to the famous Source of the Nile, where Lake Victoria gives birth to the world’s longest river. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and settle in for a quiet evening along the Nile.

With professional guides ensuring safety, the day is filled with excitement, splashes, and scenic beauty. You’ll stop for a picnic lunch along the river and continue navigating through thrilling rapids and calm stretches. Return to the lodge in the late afternoon, where you can unwind and reflect on the day’s adventure.

Enjoy a relaxed morning and, if time allows, take a short walk or bike ride through nearby communities to get a taste of local life. After an early lunch, begin your return journey to Kampala or Entebbe. The trip ends with drop-off at your hotel or airport, depending on your onward plans.
