=== In Uganda === [[File:White Nile Fishermen (18156464842).jpg|thumb|[[White Nile]] in Uganda]] The White Nile leaves [[Lake Victoria]] at [[Ripon Falls]] near [[Jinja, Uganda]], as the "Victoria Nile." It flows north for some {{convert|130|km|sigfig=2|sp=us}} to [[Lake Kyoga]]. The last part of the approximately {{convert|200|km|sigfig=2|sp=us}} river section starts from the western shores of the lake and flows at first to the west until just south of [[Masindi Port]], where the river turns north, then makes a great half circle to the east and north to [[Karuma Falls]]. For the remaining part, it flows westerly through the [[Murchison Falls]] until it reaches the northern shores of [[Lake Albert (Africa)|Lake Albert]] where it forms a significant river delta. Lake Albert is on the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but the Nile is not a border river at this point. After leaving Lake Albert, the river continues north through Uganda and is known as the [[White Nile#Albert Nile|Albert Nile]].
