Jinja, Uganda

This country is located at East Africa and was colonized by Britain.I have visited the Following main tourist attraction sites. The Mabira forest, which is the largest forest in the country. The Nalubaale Power Station, which provides hydroelectricity to the country, Nalubale Dams. The White niles, which is the longest river in that country or the whole Continent,. And Owens Fall. Rafting the Nile was the coolest experience of my life.

The guides were very professional. My family and i met Jacob, And he was about 25years old. He was a friendly, and a funny dude. Jacob talked us through each rapid before we rafted it and we felt very safe. The equipments we used were excellent and the lunch was delicious. We flipped four times, but it was exciting rather than frightening and the adrenalin rush is quite incredible. The size of the rapids is amazing, and you find the raft dropping over huge waterfalls and getting in large wave trains.

Another thing i learned was that some of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were scattered into the source of the White Nile. And i also learned that the Nile goes through 3 Countries.
