Bujagali
A cluster of adventure camps on the Nile north of Jinja. The original Bujagali Falls are now under a reservoir, and you can go kayaking, horseback riding or on quad bikes.
The Bujagali Falls were once the most famous rapids on the White Nile. After the downstream Bujagali Hydropower Station was completed in 2011, they were submerged, and the river is now wide and calm. The riverbanks remain the base of Jinja's adventure tourism, with many backpacker camps, eco-lodges and outdoor companies. You can paddle a canoe or stand-up paddleboard, join a Nile sunset cruise, ride horses through villages, drive a quad bike, or visit a local craft cooperative. The site is about 8 km from downtown Jinja, and you can get there by boda boda (motorcycle taxi).
