    Posted: August 24th, 2007 under Uncategorized.

    The stunningly beautiful Bujagali Falls lies some ten kilometres below Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake and source of the River Nile. Although lacking a single massive drop of the kind that generally earns waterfalls their fame, the Bujagali are distinctive because of the sheer volume of water cascading over the series of low rapids that would otherwise be unremarkable. The luxuriant vegetation covering the river banks and islands, and the startling diversity of bird life attracted by the multitude of fish.

    This peaceful corner of Uganda, not far from the country’s second city of Jinja, might well have remained relatively obscure, save to local residents and the young travelers. The water race swiftly down the river and out of sight, as another huge rapid thunders a warning to our sturdy rafts. This is at water rafting outing at Bujagali dam. This is one of the impressive tourism activities in this part of Uganda. As one makes their way through the white water, a huge wave washed over the left of the raft, drenching everyone on that side and followed by piercing screams of excitement from them. The wave continues to blossom skyward before collapsing on the raft, and it is difficult to tell if anyone remained on board.
