Hotels near Jinja Airport - JIN, Jinja

I love the laid back vibe of Jinja city, friendly people. It is also easy to get around, safely. Jinja has many restaurants offering multicultural cuisines, nice bars and night clubs. The town is full of interesting old historic buildings, some going back as far as 1901, and of course the world re-known Source of the Nile. For the thrill seekers there is whitewater rafting at Bujagali, and for the gourmands there are tasty dishes from around the world, and delicious Ugandan dishes from all over Uganda to sample. All in all, Jinja is a lovely city in Uganda one can visit again, and again.

The new bridge structure near the Source of the Nile River looks very good. There are several activities to do in Jinja if you have enough time such as: Touring the Source of the Nile, Hiking, Sugar Cane factory, walking around the hotel strip, go to Bujagali which is closer to the source of the Nile, and while there check out the Cave too.

Great place, family owned, cute clean place for a reasonable cost. Wifi was good but but would have been better to be a mesh with a single SSID rather than have to keep selecting the zone you were in to connect to at the moment Shower temperature controls virtually impossible to set desired temp as it kept changing

A bustling place and easy to walk around or take a body body. We were working there as part of a project and manager to find most of the tools and equipment we needed. Remarkable amount of wildlife closer to the Nile - lots of birds, insects, flowers.

Jinja was really peaceful, and staying at the Nile was serene. Loved the monkeys too. The kids/ teenagers and older folks loved it, we would go again and for longer. There are other activities to do as well, such as the Nile cruise and tubing, which we did not do on this visit.

Lively, busy, typical African vibe. Rather primitive and very basic. Shops have very limited supplies and don't expect anything sort of modern. People are very friendly, and some of the street food is really tasty. People and Shops in Jinja have never heard of camping gas cylinders or canned condensed milk. Should you have a local person who can accompany you, you can have a good night out on the town at the various street taverns. Also, always check your change after you have bought something. The locals are industrious and will seize every opportunity to short-change you (even the lady at the foreign exchange). Accommodation is very basic, and you can count yourself lucky if you have access to hot water. Beautiful scenery on the lake and at the origin of the Nile river.
