You kick off beneath the Old Post Office façade, pedals humming under you and the Nile already calling ahead. The river pulls at the edge of the city—broad, insistent and full of motion—pushing a ribbon of activity through Jinja as you glide toward the Source of the Nile. Bridges and rusted railbeds pass like chapters: the Railway Bridge, the New Nile Bridge, the shipping bustle at Jinja Port.
