Jinja Excursions – 2 Days

After breakfast, travel to Jinja. This trip is a well-trodden one, especially on the weekend when thrill seekers from Kampala escape to Jinja, in search of adventure and a chance to be close to the River Nile and Lake Victoria. The journey itself is a pleasant one which will take you through the outskirts of Kampala and into the more rural areas of the eastern Buganda Kingdom. As you get closer to Jinja you will cross into the Busoga Kingdom, which is one of the 5 constitutional monarchies in Uganda today. You will also see huge sugar cane and tea plantations in the Lugazi area and have a stopover at Mabira Forest for a short forest walk to see a water fall and to search for forest birds and colobus monkeys.

After breakfast, you will start your activities in Jinja. Experience one of the most exhilarating rafting trips on the planet which is the safest and most popular trip down the Nile.  It includes challenging legendary rapids in the hands of those who know the river best. If whitewater rafting is not your thing, you may choose to use a quad bike! This guided excursion will allow you to explore the tracks and trails beside the Nile connecting small villages and farms. This will give you a great insight into Ugandan rural life and afford you some incredible scenery. At the end of the day, you travel back to Kampala after a fun-filled day.
