Day 1: Begin with a pickup from the hotel in Entebbe and head to Kampala for a comprehensive city tour. After an early breakfast, the guide will take you on a tour around Kampala. The journey starts at Mengo Palace, a revered site for the Baganda, where you can uncover its historical significance.

Day 2: Transfer from Kampala to the Source of the Nile, with white water rafting in Jinja as the day’s highlight. Along the way, visit Sezibwa Falls for a nature walk. The tour begins early, departing at 7:00 am. The first stop is at Sezibwa Falls, a cultural heritage site of the Buganda Kingdom, rich in traditional folklore as explained by the site guide. The falls are surrounded by lush greenery, with opportunities to spot birds and wildlife like monkeys. Spend about an hour exploring before returning to the highway. Proceed to Jinja town, have lunch, and then visit the Source of the Nile. Enjoy a boat ride from the Nile’s shores to the exact spot where the waters begin to flow. Capture photo moments and continue the ride into Lake Victoria, taking in the scenic countryside. Bird enthusiasts can spot various water birds such as Cormorants, Egrets, Fish Eagles, and Pelicans. The ride lasts about an hour before returning and departing for Kampala, with a chance to buy souvenirs in Jinja town. Expect to arrive in Kampala by 6 pm for a hotel drop-off.
