About Jinja

Jinja is where the Nile leaves Lake Victoria, a lakeside Ugandan town of old Asian-built streets, riverside lodges and white-water adventure.

Jinja stands on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, at the point where the White Nile begins its long journey north. The English explorer John Hanning Speke identified the outflow as the source of the Nile in 1858, and a garden at the river's start has a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, whose ashes were scattered here in 1948. Colonial-era streets with shopfronts built by Asian merchants still line the centre.
