About Jinja
Jinja is where the White Nile pours out of Lake Victoria to begin its 6,650 km journey to the Mediterranean, a fact best appreciated from a boat over the underwater springs at the source. The river's Grade-V rapids made Jinja East Africa's adventure capital: world-class white-water rafting, kayaking and river-boarding. Gentler options abound (sunset cruises, stand-up paddling, the Nile Brewery's namesake lager) plus zip-lines and quad trails through riverside villages.
