Fun day trip! - Malik and Andrew were fantastic hosts on our 1 day tour to Jinja and the source of the Nile. They knew so much about Uganda and were able to answer any questions we had about the local area. The highlight was definitely the Sezibwa falls, the boat tour to the source of the river Nile and that they both take great photos. I highly recommend them as tour guides and to take this tour for the day.

Scenic and interesting day out from Kampala - This was a really nice trip, very manageable in a day from Kampala with several interesting stops on the route. Malik the guide and Andrew the driver were very friendly and professional. They provided interesting information about the local culture and history and gave opportunities for extra experiences like stopping to try local foods at the market and sugarcane from a roadside seller. The boat ride to the source of the Nile was very nice and seeing lots of birds and wildlife was a great bonus! Ssezibwa falls nature walk in the forest was very beautiful and peaceful. I felt very safe as a solo female traveller.

Incredible Day Trip from Kampala - Nasser was very knowledgeable and did a great job with the tour itinerary. He explained a lot of cultural details behind the history of Jinja and was a great driver on the road trip as well. We had a great time and he even took me to a great local restaurant. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Uganda and Nasser thank you for being an awesome guide!

Great guide! Cool boat ride, beautiful waterfall, a delicious lunch! - Nasser was a great guide from the beginning to the end! We had a little money glitch and he worked with us and made it work out! He is a true gentleman and had a lot of information to share with us about bother the falls and the boat ride. We saw beautiful birds and also a lizard! We went to the meeting place of Lake Victoria and the Nile River and met some pretty amazing men on their water hut and got amazing pictures! What a great experience being able to see the community first hand and eat at a community restaurant! Great food! Would definitely recommend this trip!
