Highlight of my trip in Uganda - Visiting Jinja was absolutely a highlight of my trip to Uganda. The nile is so massive and to actually have a boat ride on the nile is something I can not easily forget. We saw many many birds and two big monitor lizards! It's really cool to see where to source of the Nile is. The boatman could tell us a lot about the history of the Nile, the birds and about Jinja city. Our accommodation was top notch, right at the Nile with an amazing sunset. Loved every bit of this trip!

An Exceptional Journey to the Source of the Nile with Dark Hills Uganda! - My experience with Dark Hills Uganda's tour to the source of the Nile was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized and executed with great professionalism. Our knowledgeable guide provided insightful commentary about the history and significance of the Nile River as we explored its source. The boat ride along the river was serene and picturesque, allowing us to soak in the breathtaking views and witness the merging of the Nile's two major tributaries. The highlight was visiting the actual point where the Nile begins its incredible journey. It was a humbling experience to stand at such a significant geographical location. I highly recommend Dark Hills Uganda for their excellent service and the opportunity to witness the marvel of the source of the Nile.

Very nice trip to Lake Victoria, Jinja and the source of the Nile - Excellent tour to Jinja and the source of the Nile. We went on a boat which was very pleasant to the point where Lake Victoria forms the Nile and also saw the Speke monument. We also stopped at waterfalls and had a rainforest trek with a knowledgeable guide
