Last weekend we had a break from institute and headed off for a few days in Jinja. It is a town situated on Lake Victoria and the source of the Nile River. It was fun and very beautiful.
There are many spots labeled "the source" of the Nile, but this one seemed the most convincing. Although the picture does not seem very spectacular. Our guide took us out to a very ( I emphasize "very") small island and showed us this spot where the water was turning. He said that there had once been a big waterfall that water from Lake Victoria spilled over into the start of the Nile. This is actually the spot that William Speke claimed as the source.
