Jinja, Uganda

What to Expect

Jinja adventures offer a range of adrenaline-pumping activities on the Nile. White-water rafting trips run from half-day to full-day excursions through Class III–V rapids. Quad biking, cycling, horseback riding, and the famous Source of the Nile boat tour are also available. All activities are led by certified local operators with full safety equipment. Morning departures are typical, with transport arrangements from Kampala, Entebbe, or your safari lodge.
