Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Jinja is East Africa's adventure capital and perfectly set up for solo travelers — the white-water rafting, kayaking, and bungee operations all take solo bookings and group you naturally with other travelers. The town is walkable and safe. The Source of the Nile is a peaceful solo evening spot. The backpacker lodges here are some of Uganda's most social.
