Jinja
The source of the Victoria Nile in Uganda.
  • Access to the exact source of the Nile River depends on the tides and river conditions that day, so check in advance when planning your visit to avoid disappointment.
  • Even if you don’t make it onto the water, one of Jinja’s most recognizable landmarks is the Source of the Nile sign over the river.
  • Jinja is an excellent spot for birdwatching: The wetlands area and lush forests surrounding the riverbanks are home to storks, hornbills, kingfishers, and many other feathered species. Morning and early evening are the best times of day to spot them.
  • Make sure you’re up to date with vaccinations and have a good first-aid kit with you in case of illness. Pack oral rehydration salts and antibiotics as a precaution. Many people opt to take antimalarial medication as extra protection.
