Introducing Jinja
Jinja has some of the world’s best white-water rafting on its doorstep, and is emerging as the adrenaline centre of East Africa, picking up punters as fast as Zimbabwe is losing them.

Jinja is the source of the mighty Nile, the world’s longest river, which winds its way from here through Egypt and Sudan to the Mediterranean.
