Flanked today by the city of Jinja, the waterfall described by Speke now lies submerged beneath the Owen Falls Dam, Uganda's main source of hydro-electric power. Still, a visit to the source of the Nile remains a moving and wondrous experience, no less so to those who have seen the same river as it flows past the ancient Egyptian temples of Luxor some 6,000 km downstream.
First time to Africa, this is an opportunity to experience the richness of the Black continent through vast plantations of sugar canes, mabira forest and the Maginificent River Nile in less than a day and interacting with the local communities along the way.
