 Source of the mighty Nile River (Offer to Sell)
Trade Lead Description:
The source of the Nile stands as one of the great geographical mysteries of the Victorian Age.
The desire to uncover this geographic Holy Grail inspired the epic journeys of exploration undertaken by Livingstone Stanley, Burton and Speke.
The ‘waterfall’ as described by Speke now lies submerged beneath the Owen Falls Dam, Uganda’s main source of hydro-electric power. Still, a visit to the source of the Nile remains a moving and wondrous experience, no less so to those who have seen the same river as it flows past the ancient Egyptian temples of Luxor some 6,000 km downstream. Closer to home, the Nile offers some superb white water rafting and game fishing.
Its crowning glory, however, is Murchison Falls, where the world’s longest river funnels through a narrow fissure in the Rift Escarpment to erupt out of the other side in a crashing 43 metres plume of white water.
