One of the mystery of thousands of years ago was the search for the Source of the Nile. The Nile which the Wikipedia refers to as the is a major north-flowing river in North Africa, is the World’s second longest river in the world and mny regard it as the longest river in the world!  It is 6,650 km (4,130 miles) long and runs through the ten countries of Sudan, South Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Egypt, being given different names in the countries it runs through!

One of the best ways to explore the Nile is to take a Uganda Safari! Uganda is home to the Source of the Nile that was first seen by Speke, a European Explorer who reached the Source only about 160 years ago! While in Uganda, spend some part of your Uganda Safaris exploring the Nile and there are several ways to accomplish this. What is most important to note, is that it is not advisable to set off exploring on your own, as it can become quite easy to become lost, and encountering dangerous wildlife is a very real possibility.

A trip to the Source will start from Jinja, the adrenaline capital of Uganda and can run through Sudan and Egypt!In Jinja, you can cruise on the Nile, try out bungee jumping into its waters, take a white water rafting trip or a kayak down the Nile, or decide to discover and follow it on a horse back.

After your Jinja Adventure you can continue through to Murchison Falls National Park, where you will marvel at the most beautiful falls created by the Nile as it snakes through narrow rocks creating a thunderous falls with a rainbow all day!

There are cruises that last for several days, and will transport you down the Nile. These will need to be booked in advance, as they fill up quite quickly.
If you do not wish to spend multiple days on the Nile, you will likely be able to find someone that will allow offer you short boat trips or launch cruises. The drawback to this is that you could miss seeing some of the best locations. Be sure to select a great tour guide so that you do not miss anything.

A Safari in Uganda will not be complete unless they have been on the waters of the Nile. There certainly is something mystical about this river, and travelers from all over the world flock to it years. Be sure to have your camera ready, and for safety reasons, remember to select a guided tour or cruise instead of venturing out on your own.
