Sailing the Nile in Uganda

Sailing the Nile in Uganda: Wildlife, Waterfalls, and a Dash of Drama When someone says “Uganda,” most people immediately think of gorilla trekking.

The one that’s been inspiring explorers, poets, and overly dramatic history documentaries for centuries. But forget pyramids and pharaohs for now—Uganda’s slice of the Nile serves up something way wilder. Think thundering waterfalls, hippos with attitude, and a mix of relaxation and adrenaline that’s basically the ultimate “choose your own adventure.” Need assistance with groups and incentives in Uganda?
