3rd Stop: Jinja and the source of the Nile River

 Here we go…this stop is for our more adventurous travelers.  We’re in Jinja, the headwaters of the Nile River.  For centuries, explorers trekked through the heart of Africa in search of the source of the Nile River.  One of the most notorious in the 1800’s was the Scottish explorer and missionary, Dr. David Livingstone (“…I presume!”
