Jinja: 2-Day trip to Jinja Souce of the Nile and Sipi Falls

This trip takes to Jinja and Kapchorwa districts. The Highlights include a visit to Ssezibwa Falls, Mabira Forest, a Boat Cruise at the Source of the River Nile and a hike to the majestic Sipi Falls
Located in the southeastern part of Uganda, Jinja City is found on the shores of Lake Victoria, the world’s largest tropical lake and the world’s second-largest freshwater lake. In Jinja, the River Nile has its source as it’s here that it starts to flow from Lake Victoria.

Below are some of the major sites to visit on this trip;

1. Ssezibwa falls
Nestled within the verdant embrace of Uganda’s lush landscape lies a hidden gem, a testament to nature’s artistic prowess. This enchanting natural wonder, a haven of cascading waters, verdant flora, and ancient legends, has remained a well-kept secret, awaiting those with a thirst for exploration. Upon arrival, the sight that unfolds is a spectacle of nature’s artistry—two waterfalls cascade from differing heights through the rocks, creating a harmonious chorus of cascading water that pours into a deep pool.

2. Mabira forest
This is one of Uganda's largest surviving Natural Forests. The Forest is predominantly a secondary forest that has grown for more than 100 years with minimal disturbance, hence accumulating an impressive diversity of wildlife, which includes 312 species of trees and peculiar shrubs. It is home to 316 bird species, 219 butterflies, 97 moths and 35 species of small mammals.

4. Source of the River Nile
Here, the world’s longest river starts its 4000-mile journey. On arrival, your first encounter is the beautiful gardens in the vicinity. Next are several craft shops and several monuments which have a historical attachment to the Nile. You will have a boat cruise to where the river waters ‘start’ separating from the lake waters.

5. Sipi Falls
Sipi Falls is a series of three waterfalls on the north-western slopes of the eponymous extinct volcano, Mount Elgon in Kapchorwa district adjacent to Mount Elgon National Park, which is 1.7 km from the Kenyan border.

The second-highest of the waterfalls, called Simba, comes first. It plunges 85 metres before concluding in a spectacular splash. The next fall, called Ngasire, is the smallest, at 65 metres. The last fall, Called Sipi, is the tallest at 100 metres.

Sipi Falls lies at an altitude of 1,775 metres, and a hike to these Falls takes on average of three hours through semi-rugged terrain. Hiking up to these falls gives a beautiful scenic view of Lake Kyoga, the Karamoja lowlands, coffee plantations and other surrounding areas.
