The 5 Best Things to Do in Jinja and on the Nile

5 reviewed

The Nile leaves Lake Victoria at Jinja and is grade five water within a few kilometres, which is why the rafting companies never left. Here are the 5 best things to book on the river, from full-day rafting and the bungee platform to tubing, kayaking and the quiet sunset boats, with prices, minimum ages and how wet each one gets you.
