    Beautiful place with small waterfalls and lots of fun currents to go rafting or tubing on. The place itself deserves more stars. But the people who work there will do muzungu price and depending on who you ask, you'll get a very big difference in the price of the water activities. We also heard the entrance is supposed to be 20 k for muzungu, but we had to pay 30 k each when we arrived. Then, depending on what water activity you wanna do, you'll add extra. It takes about an hour to reach from Jinja. It's a charming, but a bumpy off-road w tge dry red sand, so if you take a boda, sunglasses and face masks are a must! But beautiful place and fun to spend some hours.

    If you have great love for water then Busowoko is your final destination. You don't want to miss out on a close experience of watching water falls running down at an amazing speed.Apart from sight seeing the other activities at Busowoko are tubing,swimming,bird watching, nature walk... From a personal experience I would say I didn't see any safety officers or life guards on site so I suggest you practice maximum caution while at this destination

    The most beautiful natural view with the most beautiful atmosphere despite the long distance and unpaved roads, but when you arrive you will forget the trouble of the journey. Beautiful waterfalls and you can swim in the water. There is a small restaurant that serves delicious fish with fried potatoes. You can spend Full day with family and kids
