Set along the Nile River where it begins its long journey north from Lake Victoria, two to 2½ hours east of Kampala, this city of 300,00 is Uganda’s laid-back adventure hub.

Visitors also enjoy bungee jumping, horseback riding, quad biking, mountain biking, and relaxed riverside stays. Jinja’s craft markets, colonial-era architecture, and tranquil parks add to its charm. The Source of the Nile monument remains a popular site, commemorating the spot explorer John Hanning Speke identified in 1862.
