Tour Details
Fly Through the Trees & Trace the Nile’s Origins
Adventure meets legend on this adrenaline-filled day in Jinja, the adventure capital of East Africa. This 1-day tour combines two unforgettable experiences: zip lining through the Mabira Forest canopy and a scenic tour of the Source of the Nile, where one of the world’s most famous rivers begins its epic journey northward.
The day kicks off with a drive to Griffin Falls Camp in Mabira Forest, a lush and vibrant rainforest just outside Jinja. Here, you’ll gear up for an exciting zip line course that takes you flying between ancient trees, over a river, and into the heart of the jungle. It’s a rush of wind, height, and laughter—all under the guidance of professional instructors and safety staff.

Here, you’ll enjoy a guided boat ride to the very point where the Nile emerges from Lake Victoria. Along the way, you’ll spot birds, fishermen, and lush riverside scenery.
