A great one-day tour with wonderful guides - Nasser & Josh were very nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. It was a full day of learning and experience. Highly recommended especially if you don't have much time to explore Uganda.

Great day trip from Kampala! - I had a great time on this tour. My favorite parts were definitely the waterfall and nature walk and of course Jinja. The guide was super knowledgable and fun the whole trip. The boat ride is definitely the highlight of the trip! Make sure to edit the Tripadvisor to reflect that you could be grouped with other people.

Great day tour from Kampala - I had a great day going to Jinja from Kampala! The landscapes are beautiful once your are out of the city. Tour guide Nasser was very knowlegable about the different stops on the tour, and I learned a lot about the cultures and history of Uganda. Great lunch at local restaurant with typical local food. I loved the boat ride on Lake Victoria and saw many birds-- herons, kingfishers, egrets and more.

Jinja day trip - Loved the day trip and the tour guide was fantastic!!! Definitely a must do. Be prepared to spend at least 12 hours due to traffic to and from Jonja and expect to come home knackered But definitely worth the effort 👌

An unexpected joy! - The Source of the Nile trip was great. I did not expect that taking pictures at that very spot will feel so meaningful! The serenity enjoyed at the Ssezibwa water falls, on the way there, is such a beautiful experience. Our guide Nasser’s explanations were very interesting.

Beautiful views, great tour guides! - Me and my mum had such an amazing time on this day trip, which is packed full of beautiful sites, such as Ssezibwa falls, the city of Jinja and of course the boat cruise on Lake Victoria. Our guides Nasser and Abdul shakur were wonderful, entertaining and attentive the whole way through, and took us to a delicious local restaurant in Jinja for an authentic experience. Would highly recommend this tour.

Very interesting discovery day - Interesting discovery of deep Uganda with a disert, competent and committed guide. Nothing extremely spectacular to see but authenticity and explanations about traditions , cultures and even politics (at my request) more than compensate. However, you need to get used to driving in the country...
