The Source of the Nile in Jinja, Uganda, marks the spot where the world's longest river begins its journey. It's a popular destination offering boat tours to the precise source, allowing visitors to witness the confluence of the Nile waters and Lake Victoria. Accessibility varies, with boat tours being the primary way to experience the source. While solo exploration is possible, guided tours offer deeper insights into the river's history and significance. The site is generally open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the dry seasons (June-August and December-February) for calmer waters and clearer skies. Costs typically range from budget-friendly to moderate, depending on the tour operator and activities chosen. A typical visit lasts from a couple of hours to a half-day, including the boat ride and exploration of the surrounding area.
