Kalagala Falls
Rapids on the Nile opposite Itanda, with a forest reserve, islands and camping spots on the west bank.
Kalagala Falls lies on the west bank of the Nile in Kayunga District, almost directly across from Itanda Falls. It belongs to the Kalagala Offset Forest Reserve, established to compensate for the dam construction. The banks are covered in forest. You can take a small boat to the river islands to watch the rapids and rafters, and locals come here to picnic and swim (take care). From Jinja, cross the Source of the Nile Bridge and head toward Kayunga, about a 1-hour drive. It is quieter than Itanda.
