Uganda is famously known as the Source of the River Nile, the world’s longest river, and visiting it in Jinja is an essential part of any Uganda tour. Here, you can stand at the very point where the Nile emerges from Lake Victoria, beginning its 6,600-kilometer journey through Africa to the Mediterranean Sea. The site is a place of history, adventure, and natural beauty, attracting both international travelers and Ugandan locals.

The Source of the Nile experience includes boat rides, cultural encounters, and visits to historical monuments, such as the Mahatma Gandhi monument, which commemorates the spreading of his ashes at the Nile. Adventure seekers can combine the visit with adrenaline activities in Jinja, such as bungee jumping, quad biking, and horseback riding along the riverbanks. Cotis Safaris offers tailor-made Jinja tours that showcase both the spiritual and adventurous aspects of this destination.
