A Great Jinja Day Trip! - This was a well-organized excursion and the tour company communicated with me very clearly and ahead of time. My guide, Nasser, was a great companion for the trip and shared interesting insights throughout. I very much enjoyed visiting Ssezibwa falls and the guide at this location, Gabriel, was also great company and an excellent photographer who actually showed me a couple tricks to improve my photos/videos! The boat cruise to the source of the Nile is relaxing and not too long. I also added on zip lining over the Nile for $40 USD after seeing other reviewers talk about that option and my local friends suggesting it. We had lunch at a local restaurant on the main road in Jinja, Rendezvous, and I was able to shop a little on the strip.

This tour was a fantastic... - This tour was a fantastic day out from the city. We started with a great tour of Ssezibwa Falls thanks to an excellent local guide, and learned some fascinating history as we drove past the Martyrs Shrine and through the Mabira Forest. Heading into Jinja for a great local lunch and the boat ride to the official Source of the Nile was unforgettable before heading back. Highly recommend this seamless and scenic day trip!

A Nice Day Out - Had a great day. Nasser, our guide, expertly steered us to a number of localities where we saw several key sites before arriving at Jinga. The boat trip on Lake Victoria and the visit to the source of the Nile to be historically interesting. At all times Nasser kept us informed and safe.

Nice day out with great guide - Nasser was a great guide and very informative! He told us many interesting facts about the region and its history. The waterfall was very nice. And we enjoyed the boat trip with the certificate! Only the chosen restaurant was not so atmospheric, maybe there a other options in the region with a view to the lake or so. But overall a nice day if you have limited time in the region. Despite traffic and rain he took us safely back to our hotel.
