We headed back towards Kampala as we were advised it is the best route to go to Keny. We didn’t want to get stuck in Kampala again so we headed straignt for Jinja, the source of the Nile.
We found this camp site, Eden Rock Resort just above the Bujagali Falls.
View towards the Owen Falls dam wall. From the dam wall the water flows into the Victoria Nile river and then onto Murchison Falls, into Lake Albert and then it becomes the Albert Nile which eventually becomes the White Nile which eventually joins the Blue Nile at Khartoum, Sudan. From then onwards it is the Nile River to Egypt.
Bujagali Falls in Jinja. There seems to be a few claims to the ‘Source of the Nile’ but for my money it is our dear old lady friend, Lake Victoria.
Not really a water fall, more like rapids.
Bujagali Falls.
It is now known as the Victoria Nile as it flows towards Murchison Falls. An impromptu tour guide said that in 4 years time this place will be under water as they are busy building a new dam with a hydro electric power station further downstream. We did not get a chance to verify this as it was Sunday afternoon and everyone was very jolly. We did see cranes in the distance though.
