These unique horseback safaris offer fantastic riding, either you go around the source of the world’s longest river with lush green rainforests, crossing swamps or gallop up hills to see what incredible scenery lies beyond. Spend a day riding along the banks of the magic Lake Victoria before following the edge of the river to its source in Jinja, Uganda’s adventure capital.
