Jinja City, located in southeastern Uganda on the northern shores of Lake Victoria near the source of the Nile River, is the country’s second-largest commercial center after Kampala. Established as a town in 1901 and declared a city in July 2020, Jinja has a rich history tied to trade, colonial administration, and industrial development. Originally a fishing village, Jinja grew rapidly with the construction of the Uganda Railway and the Owen Falls Dam (now Nalubaale Dam), which provided hydroelectric power and spurred industrial growth. Known as the “Industrial Capital of Uganda,” Jinja hosts numerous factories and is a key hub for commerce, tourism, and culture in the Busoga region. The city is also famous for its scenic landscapes, including the Nile River, and offers various adventure activities such as white-water rafting and bungee jumping.
