Answer first

Is Living Waters Resort a good choice for staying at the Source of the Nile?

Yes—it sits in the Source of the Nile Gardens with the river itself a one-minute walk away, with a listed continental breakfast and lake-view luxury tents. It suits travellers whose main reason for coming is the Source of the Nile and the Speke Memorial Monument, both a minute on foot; Jinja town is about nine minutes’ drive when you want dinner or the market.
