1 Day Jinja City Tour

Destination: Uganda Safaris

Country: Uganda

Description:

The departure from Kampala city begins early in the morning to avoid traffic congestion. Jinja is located about 80 km east of Kampala and typically takes around 2 hours to reach, depending on traffic conditions. The drive passes through charming smaller towns like Mukono and Buikwe, as well as the expansive Kakira sugar plantations. Along the way, there are opportunities to stop at Mabira Central Forest Reserve and Najjembe, where you can sample popular Ugandan street foods for a quick snack.

Upon arriving in Jinja mid-morning, the first adventure is at Bujagali Falls, located downstream. Although partially submerged due to a hydroelectric dam, Bujagali remains a stunning location with thrilling Grade 5 rapids. Here, you’ll meet the rafting team and gear up for an exhilarating white-water rafting experience through the powerful rapids. After the adrenaline rush, you can relax by the riverbank, enjoying refreshing drinks such as beer, soda, or water, along with snacks of your choice.

Next, you’ll head into Jinja town to explore its attractions, including the Railway Museum, which offers insights into the town’s colonial history. A stroll through the farmers' market and local souvenir shops provides a glimpse of the vibrant local culture. For lunch, you’ll dine at one of the local restaurants serving authentic Ugandan cuisine. In the afternoon, visit the famous source of the Nile. Here, you can take a peaceful boat ride to admire the river as it begins its long journey northward to the Mediterranean Sea. After the boat cruise, you’ll return to the car for the drive back to Kampala, arriving in the late evening. This concludes your exciting and culturally rich 1-day tour of Jinja.
