One of the most fascinating things to do when visiting Jinja City is to take a boat excursion on the River Nile. The Nile is widely recognized as the world’s longest river. Some people might still be curious about the origin of the name Nile, as it originates in Jinja, Uganda. It flows up to the eastern Mediterranean Sea from the surrounding regions near the equator to the wild Safari desert.

The river, which is roughly 6696 kilometers long, supplies water to nine different nations, though it primarily flows through Egypt and Uganda. Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zaire, and Ethiopia are among the nations. The White and Blue Niles, the two main branches of this well-known and longest river, join in Khartoum to form the central Nile, which is composed of the Egyptian and Cataract Niles.

On a boat trip to Jinja’s Nile Point, you will see a lot of birds, islands, and vegetation along the coasts. If you’re lucky, you may also see lizards and the locals that live there.
