We went to this beautiful and powerful water falls but the road was so dusty and bumpy and the we were welcomed by traditional dancers and some tourists were rafting, a very wonderful view and experience, The place looked like less people visit and its ecology is not much disturbed .
My next visit this year will be for rafting.

Not many know of this place. But if you are visiting Jinja, make it a priority and have a look at the beautiful rapid falls. Its a beat out of town and the road was rough the time i visited but its worth the baggy ride.

A Thundering Stretch of the Nile, Down river from Jinja the Nile cascades down a series of steps, creating a quite spectacular view. Access to a small park to see the falls was rather pricey considering minimal amenities. Still, it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon diversion during a medical mission to surrounding villages.
