Jinja's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Bujagali Falls area, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Nile Brewing Company — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
