Source of the Nile
Nature
The point where the White Nile flows out of Lake Victoria to begin its long journey to the Mediterranean, marked by gardens, a memorial where some of Gandhi's ashes were scattered, and small boats that take you out to the spring and the lake. There's a modest entry fee; it's an easy, scenic visit from central Jinja.
