The Nile’s southern source is here despite claims saying it is not true

Burundi, 70 miles southeast of the busy metropolis of Bujumbura, is home to the Nile River's southernmost source—possibly. In truth, the Nile has several origins. However, this mountain stream in Burundi is most likely the river's southernmost source, as it flows through numerous nations before emptying into the Mediterranean. It also has a pyramid.


The Nile is the world's longest river, stretching for approximately 4,100 km. The White Nile, Blue Nile, and Atbara are its three primary tributaries. In 1863, English explorer John Hanning Speke "resolved" the Nile's source by asserting that the endpoint was Lake Victoria. The Nyabarongo River, which flows from Rwanda's Mount Bigugu, and the Ruvyironza (later Ruvubu) River, which flows from Burundi's Mount Kikizi, are the two major rivers that pour into that reservoir. This later source was discovered by German adventurer Burkhart Waldecker. Regardless, the location is worth a visit. A spring around 100 kilometers from the city is most likely the Nile's southernmost source, and it can be seen because of the Pyramid that was built there.
