When we traveled by ship on the Nile during our holidays in Egypt, I had no idea that I would ever reach its sources. Near the city of Jinja, the White Nile flows out of Lake Victoria , which in Sudan joins the Blue Nile, creating the longest river in Africa. As I had too little time for rafting, I decided to take a speedboat ride down the river. It was not crazy, but during the two-hour trip I saw a lot of water birds and an otter.
