It is from the same lake that River Nile, the world’s longest river, starts its (4,258 miles)journey at Jinja 80km east Kampala. According to statement from Uganda’s tourism board “Very many wonderful things have been said about Uganda by various authors and travellers who have had the chance to visit, some talk about the charming weather natural resources, rich culture and history while others talk about the lovely people whose hospitality is unmatched.
