Sunday Exploration: The Source of the Nile, Ssezibwa Falls, and Tasting Ugandan Cuisine

Sunday Funday:  My first weekend in Uganda -- decided to explore the source of the Nile in Jinja and Ssezibwa Falls. The journey also provided my first opportunity to sample Ugandan cuisine.

Ssezibwa Falls





very knowledgeable guide - who told me all about the flora and fauna - as well as the religious rituals that take place on this sacred place (not pictured)





when you touch the leaves of this plant - they shy away!


some of the clay pots used in religious rituals





at a Jinja restaurant I sampled the goat stew and some matoke



we stopped at a vendor to try a popular street food here: rolex (rolled eggs)





I got a certificate! I have been to the source of the Nile River!





this bridge across the Nile is just like the Sunshine Skyway back home
