On our way to the village of Businywa, we stopped in Jinja for a bite to eat. Then, we drove nearby to see the source of the Nile River. The Nile is the longest river in Africa and the southernmost source is in Uganda. The source itself is a combination of the waters flowing from the largest lake in Africa, Lake Victoria, as well as an underground spring that produces 4000 liters of water every minute.
We began our tour at the river's shore before taking a short boat ride to the actual source (where the spring is located) some 300-400 feet toward the otherside of the river. The boat was large enough to accommodate us all and still provide some anxious moments on our way there. We could also see from a distance some shoreside property that another US church is investing in along with East Africa Church of God to expand the missions effort to the islands nearby.
It was great to see the wildlife of beautiful birds and lizards along the shoreline. Yet another example of God's wonder and creativity.
