Morning light hits the broad sweep of the Nile before you arrive—flat water one moment, teeth-grit whitewater the next. On day one the road from Kampala eases into plantation flats and a quick stop at Sezibwa Falls gives the forest a voice: monkeys rustle, birds call, and the river dares you to pay attention.
