    Source of the Nile is peaceful. You have to pay an expensive entrance to get in the park. The place has water and coke and you can see the river also. There is a prayer retreat center which is also peaceful and the breeze is so nice. There are also gobs of devilish spiders, almost the size of your face. Unsure if they are dangerous.

    The source of the Nile it's just the place to visit when you are in Jinja. The landscape it's just amazing. If you like to see the sunset, the rumours restaurant it's the good location to stay. The view of the lake Victoria and the Nile it is just beautiful. Even the diversity of the birds, Vervet monkeys, Moneta lezard,, it's interesting.

    We camped here for 3 days and it's a wonderful view. Very quite and peaceful and a great view of the actual source of the Nile. Boat trips can be arranged from here or you can walk to the other side across the first bridge across the Nile. The staff are friendly and helpful, we didn't try the food.

    The gardens have lush grasses and you can have an amazing view of the river Nile from there. There is music and as expected there is a restaurant in there. There are several display of art and crafts and you can choose and buy as you desire. You can enjoy the calmness and serenity of the place and just live in the moment. Go and bask in the lush and quietness that you have been looking for all along.

    It was a nice experience at the source of River Nile with a lot of life touching lessons.

  • 5/5 Fabiha H. 1 month ago on Google β€’ 29 reviews New
    A very calm and peaceful place to visit. We went on a weekday morning, and most of the crafts shop were still opening. Our tour guide Emanual was very informative and friendly.

    It is a place that you want to visit when in Jinja. The guide was awesome giving the history of the place. During the boat ride, you get to a place where lake Victoria meets river Nile. It is an awesome experience.

  • 3/5 Paul Peter R. 1 year ago on Google
    Some traditional entertainment and African souvenir awaits you there. Typical of any tourist point, seems everyone there wants you to spend a little more.

    The maintenance of the source is now too low, the whole good art of it has gone low causing less intrest in visiting the site, create some good Swimming opportunities around the site. People need that too.

    It was great to see wonders of nature. Water spring inside the lake

  • 4/5 Abishag W. 6 years ago on Google
    It's a real beauty. You feel absolutely at one with nature especially once you swim in the Nile waters. Lake Victoria is also a stone-throw distance away. Definitely a repeat worthy destination.

  • 4/5 Bora F. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Keren-Happuch Adahchava K. 1 year ago on Google
    I liked the view and I got to see the island which God put to separate the lake form the river. Other than that it was amazing with giant flora and roaming monkeys not forgetting the nice scenery

    See the Source of the Nile from up above, overlooking the view and enjoying the Speke Memorial. The restaurant will fry up fish for you if you give them an hour. The gardens are mainly grass and trees, but it's a nice walk with good views. Much better than the overly commercialized opposite bank.

  • 5/5 Jeff T. 4 years ago on Google
    I would highly recommend visiting here. It was beautiful, tranquil and interesting. There was no guide or anything. We just walked around. There's a restaurant with a great view. We were there early in the morning so that might have been one reason it was quiet.

    Payment required to enter. A pleasant park with views of the Nile. Tour boats for hire, and street vendors offer a wide selection of products. There is a monument honoring Mahatma Ghandi, too.

  • 5/5 YΔ±lmaz A. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to come and find Gandhi here. his message for peace has not been delivered yet.
