Jinja Holidays


africa
Situated in eastern Uganda beside the River Nile, Jinja is the region’s adventure capital. With a lovely setting on the shores of Lake Victoria, surrounded by lush vegetation with several thundering waterfalls nearby, this tiny town has a relaxed, tropical vibe.

A series of rapids rushes north from the town through lush rainforest towards the Bujagali Falls, creating some of the world’s most exhilarating whitewater rafting! Gentler rafting options are also available allowing you to float down the river as you look out for wildlife, or you can simply relax and enjoy the views from a riverside lodge.

Trailfinders offers a range of holidays visiting Jinja and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to embark on an exciting multi centre holiday or find out more about the activities available in this area – they are the perfect people to ask.
