6-Day Uganda Safari from Kampala with Jinja and Murchison Falls

• Our professional driver-guide will meet you at the airport in Entebbe or in Kampala, and then you will begin a great day filled with memorable sights and activities. Along the way, you will stop for a guided nature walk at the spectacular Sezibwa Falls.
• You will continue your journey past the eye-catching sugar and tea plantations. Finally, you will cross the newly built Jinja Bridge and continue to your hotel for check-in and lunch. After lunch, you will tour the town of Jinja and then take a boat ride to explore the source of the Nile and Samuka Island. Samuka Island is a breeding ground for several species of birds. As you leave the boat and the area around the source of the Nile, do not forget to purchase souvenirs from one of the artisan shops. The driver will then take you back to the hotel for a shower, relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

Accommodation: Jinja Nile Resort (Luxury), 2 Friends Guesthouse (Budget), or Paradise Guesthouse (Budget).

• This will be a great day of adventure. After breakfast at your hotel, you will head out for white water rafting along the Nile. The Nile in Jinja provides some of the best spots for kayaking and rafting in Africa.
• White water rafting in Jinja is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. One can go for a full day of white water rafting, but you will only join the morning shift. The morning session starts at 9:00 am. You will join your fellow rafters for registration and a briefing. After the briefing, you will be supplied with life jackets, helmets, and other rafting gear. The activity will last about 4 hours, after which you will be taken for lunch. After lunch, you will either go for quad biking, horse riding, or bungee jumping, or return to the hotel to rest. Once chosen, each activity takes one hour.
