Jinja

Jinja

Jinja, often referred to as the "Adventure Capital of Uganda," is a vibrant town located on the shores of Lake Victoria and the source of the White Nile River. Just 80 kilometres east of Kampala, Jinja is a popular destination for both Ugandan and international tourists seeking outdoor adventures and cultural experiences.

One of Jinja's main attractions is its world-class whitewater rafting on the Nile River. Thrill-seekers flock to Jinja to navigate the exhilarating rapids, ranging from gentle stretches to heart-pounding Class V rapids. Other water-based activities include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and boat cruises to explore the scenic beauty of the Nile.

Jinja offers opportunities for cultural immersion and historical exploration. Visitors can tour the Source of the Nile, a picturesque spot where the Nile River begins its 6,650-kilometer journey to the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, Jinja is home to the vibrant local market, where visitors can shop for traditional crafts, souvenirs, and fresh produce.

With its stunning natural landscapes, adrenaline-pumping activities, and rich cultural heritage, Jinja promises an unforgettable experience for travellers seeking adventure, relaxation, and cultural enrichment in Uganda.

“Little Rock Safaris went above and beyond our expectations! We went on a safari tour to Murchison Falls National Park and it was so fun and they made the trip so smooth even when our group was so slow moving they adapted to our pace. ”

“I travelled with Littlerock in July, and it was rewarding right from the pick-up at Entebbe to drop-off. The team ensured our itinerary ran smoothly, and their choice of accommodation, especially during the Gorilla trekking and the Queen Elizabeth visit, was top-notch.”
