Jinja In Uganda

This is the renowned source of the Nile River and is situated almost 50 miles from Kampala at the largest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Victoria. The Nile flows into Egypt, the Mediterranean and Sudan from Jinja. The first European who discovered the source of the Nile was John Hanning Speke in 1862. An obelisk has been erected at the site to celebrate his discovery.
