Bujagali Falls

Bujagali Falls


Bujagali Falls is really more of a series of rapids than a waterfall. That said, it has been world reknown for thrilling Class V Rapids attracting adrenaline junkies looking to run them. The falls is also near the Source of the Nile, where there was once a waterfall known as Rippon Falls before the Owen Falls Dam flooded it out. Sadly, this waterfall (er rapids) will suffer the same fate as plans have moved forward to essentially drown out this attraction for hydroelectricity as the Owen Falls Dam is no longer efficient while at the same time energy demands have increased. In the mean time, tours are still running while they still can, but eventually, adrenaline junkies and nature lovers will have to look elsewhere.
