WHATS HAPPENING MAGAZINE IN JINJA
One of the most adventurous districts in Uganda is Jinja, a district located at the northern end on Lake Victoria in South Eastern Uganda north of the Equator at an altitude of 3,750 feet (1100 meters) above sea level. Jinja is next to Lugazi and near to Kampala the capital city of Uganda.
Jinja is endowed with great weather and waters as its situated on the east bank of the River Nile, where the longest river in the World, the Nile starts its 6,670 km journey from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea. This town has a lot of leisure activities you can engage in to enjoy and have fan with your friends, family or spouse.
The key tourist attractions of the district are,
1. Source of the Nile
The Source of the Nile, the second longest river in the world, marketed as a discovery of one of the first European explorers, namely Speke, is an internationally unique attraction. Commissioning a study to improve it as a tourist attraction and implementing the recommendations would greatly help to enhance its potential as a tourist attraction for both international tourists and domestic excursionists.
2. Bujagali Falls
These are located along the Nile River, within a distance of about 10 kilometers from Jinja municipality. The scenery and rafting activities of Bujagali Falls currently exploited on a small scale have an enormous potential for both excursions and international tourism. The falls also offer opportunity for bird watching.
3. Itanda Falls
Itanda Falls are also found on the Nile, 18 kilometers north-west of Jinja town. The falls offer opportunity for bird watching (especially the weaver birds), camping and picnic outings.
4. Kyabirwa Falls
Located 8 kilometers from Jinja, the falls offer a good scenery and landscape for campsites that is not yet fully exploited. Potential also exists for bird watching and Ethnobotany.
5. Lake Victoria Beaches
The lake’s beaches have been partially exploited for location of tourism developments, especially hotels. These beaches include the sites at Sailing Club, Tilapia Club and Masese. Besides the scenery, the lake can be exploited for water sports, which would attract the domestic, foreign resident and foreign non-resident tourists.
6. Islands in Lake Victoria
These include Samuka, Ndaiga, LwabitookeI and LwabitookeII. Apart from Samuka, the rest of the Islands have not been exploited for tourism purposes despite the existing potential. The existing potential includes boat racing, sport fishing, over-night camping, day excursions and various water sports.
7. Industries
The numerous industries found in Jinja attract excursionists, especially school tours. These include textile (Nytil Picfare), beer (Nile Breweries), sugar (Kakira Sugar Works), steel rolling (Jinja Steel Rolling Mills), grain milling (Jinja Grain Millers) and fish (Masese Fish Factory) and tea processing (Garden Tea) industries.
The hydroelectricity plant at Jinja Owen Falls is also an attraction, especially for the school tours and other domestic excursion groups.
8. Sports
Sports facilities, especially the out-standing Jinja golf pitch and the Bugembe Stadium, offer opportunity for attracting international and national tournaments, whose participants are over-night visitors.
9. Antiquities / Historical sites
A number of historical sites exist in Jinja district. These are: Bujagali ancestral site, for Soga tribe ancestral spirits, at Bujagali falls; the current Busoga King’s palace at Nakabango; Mpumudde hill, the historical meeting place of the Busoga chiefs and the
British colonial Governors. Mpumudde is also the place where King Kabalega, of the Bunyoro Kingdom died.
10. Crafts
Crafts shops, workshops and community groups are common in Jinja town and its suburbs, making mats, baskets and other souvenirs from papyrus and other natural materials.
The souvenir industry has a large potential in Jinja district, if programmes for sustainable use of the raw materials are developed.

Nile River Beginner Tandem Kayak Lesson
Visiting the Figure 8 Pools + Learning how to Vlog
First time visiting the Figure 8 Pools, it was so amazing. I almost forgot how beautiful the Australian coastline is. I'd go there everyday if I could, I highly recommend it.
But before you go, please make sure to check the tide time:
Also check if the National Park is closed:
My friend Scott Yip took me there, and he tried to teach me to Vlog. Go check out his awesome business:

Save the Geronimo Creek from the City of Seguin! (Part 3)
The Geronimo Creek Sewer Project that's designed to carry dirty water to a treatment plant is itself causing major pollution of the creek. Besides multiple cubic yards of soil being washed into the creek from around and below a severely erosed manhoile, boring under the creek requires pumping large quantities of water from the 25-feet deep boring trench into the creek. The muddy water is supposed to reside in a settling basin long enough for the sedmient to fall out. However, the contractor is allowing the muddy water to breach the sediment fence and flow directly into the creek. The creek is muddy 1 mile downstream at the Seguin Outdoor Learning Center. To date, the city of Seguin has refused to fully enforce it's own contract and stop the many violations, including this obvious violation of the US Clean Water Act and the Texas Water Code.
