Fantastic tour, I would highly recommend this to anyone who Visits Uganda. It was very well organized and Nasser, the tour guide, was brilliant at explaining the history behind each landmark. The tour includes a very tasty lunch and transportation to and from Jinja with a few stopovers in between.

Traveling through the roads of Uganda, tasting local food, having the chance to understand a bit of the local lifestyle and finishing in a boat on the Victoria Lake and the source of the Nile was such a wonderful experience! Nasser was an amazing tour guide, very professional and flexible that he even helped me sort out a couple of things I needed to solve. It’s also very safe for solo travelers like me.Caitlin_W

This was such a fun day trip and Nasser, our host, was amazing! My favorite parts were learning more about the springs and how it connected to Buganda and Busoga Kingdoms, and seeing all the wildlife on the Nile, including monkeys, salamanders, and many types of birds. Nasser even helped me obtain a Rolex for the ride home since I was told they are extra delicious in Jinja. Thank you, Nasser, for a fun day!
