About a month ago I went out to Jinja, the town where Lake Victoria empties into the Nile. The green island in the middle of the water is the official site where Uganda marks the beginning of the Nile. Now, if you are from Burundi, you might actually argue the point, claiming there is a spring which feeds into the Lake, which feeds into the River. I'm not arguing. I'm just showing you a neat photo of the Nile where it meets Lake Victoria.
