Nyege Nyege 2019 – A vibrant event by the source of the Nile!
The 2019 Nyege Nyege Festival was lit! The quiet little town of Jinja, by the source of the Nile, was on fire!
While some people in Uganda consider the festival to promote promiscuity and immoral behavior, most people seem to love it!
2019 was the fifth year that the event took place, and it is now starting to become a major tourism attraction for its vibrant East African host country!
HotelOnline was the official travel and accommodation partner, so we brought the whole Nairobi office over. My camera is never far away when I travel, and you will find some of my pictures below!
