Is Jinja Really the Source of the Nile?

Over the course of my last trip to Jinja, the source of the River Nile, or so I thought it to be, there has been a debate on where the actual source of the river is.

While on my way the other day, my driver and I got into a conversation about my travel experiences, and I mentioned I was going to Jinja, the source of the River Nile. 

An interesting debate came up between us. He claims that Jinja isn't the actual source, that the source is from Kenya, and I was shocked. While on my journey, I met a Tanzanian who also said it was from their country This made me doubt my knowledge on this topic. 

Is Jinja the source of the River Nile

Understanding the Nile's Geography

The River Nile, one of the longest rivers in the world, stretches approximately 6,650 kilometers through 11 countries in northeastern Africa. 

Traditionally, Jinja, located on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda, has been celebrated as the starting point of the Nile River. 

The river flows out of Lake Victoria at Jinja and heads northward through various countries before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. 

However, the notion of "the source" can be multifaceted. While Jinja is indeed where the Nile begins its journey from Lake Victoria, the entire system that feeds Lake Victoria includes rivers and streams from neighboring regions, including parts of Kenya and Tanzania. 

One prominent contender for the title of the "true source" is the Kagura River, which flows into Lake Victoria from Tanzania and Burundi. 

Some geography enthusiasts argue that because the Kagura River has the longest tributary connection to the Nile, it could be regarded as the actual source.
