The Perfect End to Your Jinja Adventure

As the African sun begins its descent, painting the sky in brilliant hues of orange, pink, and purple, there is no better place to be than floating on the calm waters of the Nile River. The Jinja Sunset Cruise is more than just a boat ride; it's a magical 2-hour journey that combines relaxation, history, and natural beauty.

Your evening begins as you board a comfortable, double-decker boat or spacious pontoon, greeted by a friendly crew and a cold drink. Keep your eyes peeled for African fish eagles swooping for their dinner, pied kingfishers hovering over the water, and egrets wading in the shallows.

History & Heritage on the Water

Your captain will navigate you to the actual Source of the Nile. You'll pass the John Hanning Speke Monument and see the Mahatma Gandhi statue, marking the spot where a portion of his ashes were scattered in the Nile.
