The unforgettable source of the Nile - _A Journey to the Birthplace of a Legend_ I recently had the privilege of visiting the source of the Nile in Jinja, Uganda, and it was an unforgettable experience! The journey took me through lush green landscapes, vibrant villages, and finally, to the tranquil shores of Lake Victoria, where the mighty Nile begins its 6,695-kilometer journey. The moment I stepped onto the boat that would take me to the source, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. As we glided across the calm waters, the warm sunshine and gentle breeze only added to the magic of the moment. The source itself was breathtaking – a peaceful, serene spot where the Nile emerges from the depths of the lake. I couldn't help but feel a sense of hope Visiting the source of the Nile was a truly enriching experience that exceeded my expectations. The natural beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality made for an unforgettable adventure. If you're a nature lover, history buff, or simply looking for a unique experience, add the source of the Nile to your bucket list! I can’t imagine that I was traveling with the best tour operators in East Africa, all I saw was being with knowledgeable guides around me who made our trip memorable, for anybody hoping to travel to East Africa, Inspire African Safaris I highly do recommend.

Adventure of a lifetime - North East of Uganda's capital city kampala is Jinja town where our tour was. The town so beautiful and the guide so cheerful. All the time we spent on the trip was awesome as we enjoyed the beautiful view of the sezibwa falls and the interesting local story about the falls on how they can into existence. It was an amazing experience as had our boat ride to the source of river Nile, coming across different water bird species like the open billed stork which liked most. We indeed had an incredible time on our trip and everything was perfect and well planned. I highly recommend Inspire African Safaris because they are very professional and trustworthy.

Adventure of a lifetime - It was a cold morning when the driver guide picked us for the greatest adventure to Jinja. The traffic was too much and he managed to make shortcuts through the slums of Kampala, well there is that part of Kampala that is incredibly different that we encountered. If it wasn't for the traffic that interrupted the journey then time was well managed but still the itinerary was well followed. Thanks to Mr. Richard who planned our trip for it was really amazing and adventurous.

Always a must visit - Every time we visit Jinja, we take a lovely boat ride to the source of the Nile. It has changed drastically over the years, but it is always a great visit and a fun place to pick up a souvenir.
