Upon arrival in Jinja, you will head straight to the famous Source of the River Nile at Owen Falls Dam. Stand at the exact point where Lake Victoria spills into the mighty Nile River. Enjoy breathtaking views and take memorable photographs.

Next, depending on your preference and energy level, you can choose from exciting optional activities:

  • Nile Bungee Jumping from a 44-meter platform
  • Quad biking or Horseback riding along the Nile banks
  • A relaxed boat cruise on the Nile with opportunities to spot hippos, crocodiles, and birds

After lunch at a riverside restaurant (fresh Nile perch is a must-try), you will enjoy a peaceful sunset boat cruise on the Nile, watching the sky turn golden over the water. Late afternoon, you drive approximately 1.5 hours to Sipi Falls for overnight.
