Bungee Jumping Over the Nile

Standing on the edge of a 44-meter platform suspended above the churning white waters of the Nile, your heart pounding, adrenaline surging—this is the moment that separates dreamers from doers. Bungee jumping in Jinja isn't just about the leap; it's about conquering your deepest fears, experiencing pure freedom during 3.5 seconds of free-fall, and joining thousands who've taken the plunge at one of the world's most iconic jump sites.

Welcome to the Source of the Nile Bungee Jump—Africa's highest commercial bungee jump and consistently rated among the world's most scenic. Located in Jinja, Uganda's adventure capital, this isn't your typical bungee experience. You're suspended above the point where the mighty Nile begins its 6,650-kilometer journey to the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by lush tropical scenery and the thunderous roar of rapids echoing through the gorge.

World-Class Safety Standards

Your safety is paramount. Operated by reputable companies like Adrift and Nile High Camp, Jinja's bungee operations adhere to strict international standards—specifically New Zealand and Australian safety protocols, considered the gold standard in bungee jumping. The operation holds ISO certification and uses premium equipment that meets U.S. and Canadian safety requirements.

The Unique Water Touch Experience

What makes Jinja's jump truly special is the optional "water touch" or "long jump"—a thrilling variation where you can actually kiss the legendary Nile River during your descent. As you plummet 44 meters, you'll skim the water's surface with your hands or head before the cord snaps you back up.
