Very fun day trip to Jinja! The stops on the way to the boat ride were nice and the boat ride itself was relaxing and informative. The drive back was long but Musah was excellent at navigating traffic and keeping us comfortable in the car.

I thought the experience was great got to visit the water falls, ride through some tea fields and sugar cane. We got to take a boat ride out on to the lake and to see the source of the Nile. Had a great meal afterwards of a buffet.

The trip was a good day out of the city! Shared the trip with another passenger, that’s ok. Nasser took care of us and informed us about all the history and cultural aspect of both Ssezibwa Falls and the Source of Nile river. Was a good and enthusiastic guide!
Ssezibwa was very beautiful and healing, although you need to climb some rocky bits! Wear good hiking or non-slippery shoes.
The Nile river was so powerful, felt really humbled by the power of nature. Got to see some wildlife along the way. Bring some cash to buy some goods in the middle of the river ;)
The buffet lunch was great, with the freshest tilapia I’ve ever had.
Tbh you will spend most time on the road, but you get to see some interesting sights along the way. The trip was on a Friday so the drive return was very long and rocky due to traffic. I admit I got a motion sickness in the end, so advised to take travel sickness meds if you’re that easily affected.
