Visiting the Sezibwa Falls
Ssezibwa Falls is located 32 kilometers away from Kampala city along the main road between Kampala and Jinja in the District of Mukono. The Ssezibwa falls are a result of water squeezing through narrow opening of rocks and dropping at great speed (17 meters) into a large pool that is about 14 meters deep.
The first thing that strikes you after passing through the main gate (made from reeds) is the beautiful scenery and gentle sounds of the waterfalls. The area is full of trees and is relatively unspoiled. As you move further inside the facility you not only spot the waterfalls but also a bridge under which the river flows downstream. The bridge offers arguably the best spot to view the falls and take photos. Across the bridge are rocks and more trees standing on well-manicured grass. All these combine to create a great atmosphere for relaxation.
Visiting Busowoko Falls
For any adventure traveler with a thing for waterfalls, there is something unique and majestic about being around those foamy watery edifices plunging down the rocks as we saw when we visited Busowoko falls found in Bususwa/Bukongo village, Budondo Sub- County, just after Namavundu forest, 19kms off Jinja City (Approx. 81kms by road), East of Kampala.
It is a hidden gem that has since been flooded by travelers and one that offers a fresh experience as you view part of River Nile, the longest river on earth, flowing on its three -months journey to the Mediterranean Sea.
Until four years ago, this land that is home to Busowoko Falls and Beach had been an abandoned forested landscape. But today, that thought has long been discarded and tourists from all walks of life converge here to ‘make love’ to the graceful rushing waters of the Nile in Busowoko, one of the last waterfalls on the Upper Victoria Nile, as others have disappeared under its backed-up water.
Visiting the source of the Nile and A boat ride
On arrival in Jinja, you will start with lunch after which we shall enjoy a boat ride on River Nile as it starts exiting Lake Victoria. This is will be the last site on this adventurous Jinja tour with a boat ride to the “Source of the Nile” at the now submerged Rippon Falls. This is where the Nile starts its 4000mile journey to the Mediterranean Sea traversing various countries along the way. The boat rides take between thirty minutes and two hours depending on the available time. Listen to your local site guide tell you stories of the ‘source of the Nile’ as believed by the locals.
Jinja is also known as ‘the adventure capital of East Africa’ because of the many adventure activities carried out on the Nile and along the Nile which include water rafting, kayaking, jet boating, bungee jumping, squad biking and horse riding along the Nile. You are free to stay longer and enjoy these many activities or arrange to return for the same.
Transfer back to Kampala
