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. Check out the leafy ‘suburbs’ in the northwest to get an idea of how grand this town must have been in its heyday. 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.
