2 DAYS / 1 NIGHT JINJA GETAWAY

A driver/guide will pick you from your hotel in Kampala/ home or from an appointed public place at 9.00am to commence the drive to Jinja. Your first stop is Ssezibwa Falls a cultural heritage site of the Baganda people (Ugandas largest tribe) that is rich with traditional folklore as shall be narrated by the site guide! The falls are located 32 Km along the Kampala- Jinja highway. It is one of Ugandas hidden cultural treasures with one part owned by Buganda Kingdom and another by the Anglican Church of Uganda. Other than their cultural significance, the falls are quite spectacular, surrounded by beautiful lush scenery. The site offers beautiful views of waterfalls marked with sharp-edged rocks and splendid sound of waters flowing down the indented rocks.  The Sezibwa Falls are 7 meters high with beautiful scenery for relaxation and enjoyment as birds sing in the trees. There are plenty of birds and some wildlife such as monkeys that may be sighted in the nearby forest. Spend roughly an hour exploring these serene grounds before returning to the highway. Your next stop is Mabira Forest Griffin Falls Camp for a zip-lining experience. The Mabira Forest Canopy Super Skyway is a canopy zip-line system that sends you soaring between the tallest trees in the rainforest. You are led to pass through ancient trees by experienced Sky Captains / Sky guides across a network of 5 zip-lines that stretches 250 metres across River Musamya. Using strict international safety standards with imported climbing gears and art high ropes from America, participants are belayed up the first tree, brought through the whole system and repelled on a 78m diagonal zip. High up in the canopy one is able to enjoy a view of the forest layers, mammals like grey cheeked Mangabeys and red tailed monkeys, birds like palm nut vultures, African fish eagles, great blue turacos and the roaring griffin falls, making your zip a memorable day! After your time at Griffin Camp, return to the road and drive to Jinja town. On arrival in Jinja, head to the Jinja Sailing Club for lunch. After lunch, you go on a 45-minute cruise to the Source of the Nile. From the Source of the Nile, you return and at leisure, you will look for your accommodation and check-in. After you have checked in, you can rest, freshen up and head out for a night experience in Jinja.
