Tour Highlights

✅ Visit the Source of the Nile
✅ Optional adventure sports in Jinja
✅ Explore the stunning Sipi Falls
✅ Cultural and coffee experiences
✅ Scenic road trips through eastern Uganda


Day 1: Transfer to Jinja and Explore the Source of the Nile

Morning: Transfer from Kampala to Jinja
You will be picked up early in the morning from your hotel or residence in Kampala or Entebbe by your guide. The drive to Jinja takes approximately 2–3 hours. Along the way, you’ll pass through lush landscapes, sugarcane plantations, and small trading centers, offering you a glimpse of local life.

Midday: Visit the Source of the Nile
On arrival in Jinja, you’ll head to the Source of the Nile — where Lake Victoria feeds into the mighty Nile River. Enjoy a boat ride at the source, learn about the historical significance of this legendary river, and take photos at the famous marker point.

Afternoon: Optional Adventure Activities
Depending on your interest, you can choose from a variety of adventure activities such as white-water rafting, bungee jumping, horseback riding, quad biking, or a relaxed sunset cruise on the Nile. Jinja is known as the adventure capital of East Africa, so you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Evening: Overnight in Jinja
Check into your lodge or hotel in Jinja, enjoy dinner, and relax for the night. Popular accommodation options include Jinja Nile Resort, 2 Friends Guesthouse, or Haven Eco River Lodge.


Day 2: Transfer to Sipi Falls and Cultural Experiences

Morning: Drive from Jinja to Sipi
After an early breakfast, you’ll set off for Sipi Falls, located on the foothills of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. The drive takes about 4–5 hours, passing through Mbale town and beautiful rural landscapes. You may stop for lunch en route or at a local restaurant in Mbale.

Afternoon: Sipi Falls Hike
On arrival, meet your local guide and set off for a hike around Sipi Falls, which consists of three stunning waterfalls. The hike is moderate and typically lasts 2–3 hours, taking you through local farms, coffee plantations, caves, and beautiful viewpoints. Don’t forget your camera — the scenery is spectacular.

Evening: Coffee Tour or Community Visit
After the hike, you can join a coffee tour with a local farmer to learn about the traditional Arabica coffee production process — from planting and harvesting to roasting and brewing. Alternatively, enjoy a cultural visit to the local Sabiny or Bagisu communities to learn about their traditions.

Overnight in Sipi
Check into your lodge or camp in Sipi, such as Sipi River Lodge, Lacam Lodge, or Rafiki Lodge. Relax and enjoy dinner with panoramic views of the falls and Mount Elgon.


Day 3: Sunrise Views and Return to Kampala

Morning: Sunrise Walk or Abseiling (Optional)
Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the Sipi valley — the early morning light creates a magical atmosphere over the waterfalls. For the adventurous, you can try abseiling down the main waterfall (about 100 meters high) — a thrilling experience! You may also take a shorter walk or just relax at your lodge.

Late Morning: Return Journey
After breakfast, check out and begin the drive back to Kampala. You’ll pass through Mbale and Jinja again, with a possible lunch stop along the way.

Evening: Arrival in Kampala or Entebbe
Expect to arrive back in Kampala or Entebbe in the late afternoon or early evening, marking the end of an unforgettable 3-day adventure.
