Jinja has long been associated with the source region of the Nile. Today its position on the river supports a lively mix of outdoor activity, cafes and waterside retreats.
Experiencing Jinja
White-water rafting and kayaking are major draws, but gentler boat trips, fishing, cycling and time beside the river suit travellers who prefer a slower pace.
Planning your stay
Jinja works well as a short opening or closing stay around a Uganda safari, particularly for travellers wanting activity without another wildlife drive.
