Jinja City in eastern Uganda is famous for being the source of the Nile, its water activities on Lake Victoria and zip lining in the tropical Mabira forest and now there is tubing.

Tubing, done on both water and snow, is a recent experience in Uganda and since the country has no snow, it is done on the River Nile. It involves revellers sitting on inflatable tubes tied together in groups and then connected to a kayak that gives the group direction as they glide downstream.
