Swim in the Nile. Paddle until you're tired. Find a shady bit of jungle and read a book. Light a fire. Walk to the hill for sunset.
And when you fancy getting out, there's plenty to do around Jinja — on the water, on two wheels, on horseback, or somewhere delicious for lunch.
Here are a few ways to spend your time.
Six acres to wander, swim, paddle, cook, read, nap, make fires and generally disappear into.
No itinerary required.
A quiet paddle through the river and a good way to spend a slow morning.
From easy flat-water paddling to proper playboating for the more adventurous.
Head down to Bujagali for a lazy float, or get into the white water if you're feeling brave.
One of Jinja's classic adventures — a full day on the Nile.
Go out for birds, scenery, swimming or absolutely nothing in particular.
Forget the tourist bus. Get on the back of a boda and see Jinja from street level, with someone who knows where they're going.
Ride through villages, countryside and the paths around Jinja.
Take to the trails and riverbanks on horseback.
For when you want mud, speed and considerably less tranquillity.
For the days when lying in a hammock doesn't feel exciting enough.
Explore the old town, discover its history, visit the railway museum, wander through the market or spend some time getting to know the communities around the river.
Old buildings, stories and the strange, fascinating history of the town.
A glimpse into Uganda's railway history.
Spend time with local communities and experience a different side of life around Jinja.
Lie in a hammock.
Read until you fall asleep.
Swim. Eat something. Swim again.
Watch monkeys steal something they shouldn't.
Get a drink from the Gin Jar.
Wait for the sunset.
You came all this way. You don't have to be productive.
