About Jinja
Jinja stands where the Nile leaves Lake Victoria, about two hours east of Kampala. It is a smaller, slower town than the capital, known for the river, the old main street and the people who come for the rapids.
Roughly 80 km from Kampala by road. The app sorts people by how far they are from you, so nearby towns show up too.
Where people meet in Jinja
The source of the Nile and the gardens along the river are the easy answer, and a café on Main Street works just as well on a weekday.
How it works
- Your number. We send a code by SMS. No password, no email address.
- Your photos. A first name, your town and at least one photo.
- Ask to connect. When they accept, the chat opens and you can see what they share.
What it costs
Joining, matching and chatting are free. Premium is optional: no daily limit on likes or messages, and it shows who looked at your profile. It is 8,000 UGX for a week, 20,000 for a month or 45,000 for three months, paid once through Google Play. Nothing renews by itself.
Staying safe
Only people you accept can write to you. Meet in a public place, tell a friend where you are going, and never send money to somebody you have not met. You can block or report anyone from any screen. luv.ug is for adults, 18 and over.
