Jinja Day Trip with Boat Ride on Lake Victoria & River Nile

3.Jinja Day Trip with Boat Ride on Lake Victoria & River Nile

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 15 reviews · 8 hours · from $185

Travel from Kampala to Jinja with guide Nasser, stopping at Namawojoro market, Ssezibwa Falls, tea and sugarcane fields, Mabira Rainforest, and the New Nile Bridge. A one-hour boat ride on Lake Victoria and the Nile, a buffet lunch, and a walk through Jinja’s markets round out a busy day.

“An excellent trip. Ondaba is a very professional company. They contacted me in advance, and I felt completely taken care of the entire time, especially in a city as difficult to navigate as Kampala. The guide I traveled with to Jinja was a very nice man, with a great sense of humor, and above all, he was extremely knowledgeable about Uganda and the places we visited during the trip. Even though I'm familiar with the history of this part of Africa, I learned many new things from him. I recommend him to everyone.”
