Hotels in Jinja: Nile-View Lodges, Hostels and Rafting Camps
Jinja's lodges sit above the Nile, a short drive from the rafting.
Jinja has riverside lodges, mid-range hotels and backpacker hostels, many with views of the Nile. Most visitors stay for one to three nights to raft, kayak and see the source.
