Bujagali Falls used to be one of the premier whitewater activity locations in eastern Africa. Rafting and professional kayaking brought a boom of tourism to the impoverished area. However, in 2011, a dam was constructed downstream to provide electricity to the country, and the falls were submerged. The local population is struggling to find other ways to bring tourists to the area.
