A fantastic day to Jinja and Nile River

To see the beauty of Beautiful source of Nile River and to have an amazing experience of wildlife of various variety of bird, we moved with Gazelle Safari Company for a full day tour. At a very first sight we just saw the amazing source of this great river. After that we got into a boat- and got a chance to be so close to the vast variety of birds, as well as others. The boat driver was also very respectful to the wildlife and so he go as slow as I liked. Completing the half day of tour we then visited to Bujagali Falls. Truly I say, now there is just a marks of that fall, but still having a diversity to enjoy. You can have some other things to do at there. At our third stop to Mabira forest we found some natural beauty of tropical rain forest. Here also can do some more to explore or fun like guided forest walk, bird watching or tree hugging. Overall it was a great experience at Jinja. Thanks to this company for this amazing pleasure.
A day to Jinja - Source of the Nile

We really enjoyed our trip to Jinja. Me with one of my friend, visited the Gandhi monument, the nearby markets and had a boat ride to the source of the Nile River taking in the magnificent views and nature along the way. At their Source of the Nile we had a look at a tiny gift shop and stepped out for photos, although it does get a little as everyone there are waiting for their turn! At second half of tour we went to Bujagali falls. Right now, the current situation is just a shadow of falls, however this aspect has given up the opportunity to take a boat ride on the 'Bujagali lake' to see the new dam. Probably not worth visiting at here on its own but with combined with some additional activities like quad bikes and the Nile high bungie jump made a plus for great views, it still makes for a great day out. Thanks Gazelle Safari for this amazing day.
