FAQ sur Nyege Nyege Festival Jinja Adventure
Do Kenyans need a visa for Uganda?
East African Community nationals including Kenyans can use national ID or passport for Uganda entry. Carry the document used to book as border officials will verify it at Busia or Malaba crossing.
Is the Nyege Nyege festival ticket included?
No. Festival passes are purchased separately from the event organisers. This package covers road transport, camping, meals as listed, and Nile sightseeing only.
What camping gear do I need for Jinja?
Tents are provided on the truck safari. Bring a sleeping bag or liner, torch, insect repellent, and earplugs for festival nights. Pack light because truck storage is shared among the group.
How long is the drive from Nairobi to Jinja?
Expect roughly six to eight hours depending on border traffic at Busia. The overland truck departs early to maximise time at the Nile and festival grounds.
