Bujagali Falls, Waterfall system near Jinja, Uganda
The Bujagali Falls consist of multiple rapids along the Nile River where it emerges from Lake Victoria, creating powerful water flows through rocky channels.
In 2011, the construction of the Bujagali Power Station submerged the original falls, transforming the natural water system into a 250-megawatt hydroelectric facility.
The falls remain the domain of Jjaajja Budhagali, a spiritual leader who represents the thirty-ninth generation of guardians performing traditional rituals at this location.
Visitors can participate in grade-five whitewater rafting excursions on the remaining rapids, with professional guides leading groups of eight to ten people.
The site marks the beginning of an extensive 28-kilometer rafting route that includes multiple challenging rapids along the Victoria Nile River course.
