LocationMasindi Port is in Kiryandongo District in western Uganda on the western banks of the Victoria Nile, approximately {{convert|197|km|mi}}, by road, northwest of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[1] This is approximately {{convert|39|km|mi}}, by road, south of Kiryandongo, the district capital.[2] The coordinates of the town are 1°41'54.0"N, 32°04'40.0"E (Latitude:1.6983;, 32.0778).[3] OverviewMasindi Port was a busy river boat docking station during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Steamboats were a major mode of transport on the Nile River. Because of the Karuma Falls and the Murchison Falls on the Victoria Nile between Lake Kyoga and Lake Albert, steamboats could not navigate that part of the Nile. Passengers would travel by boat from Lake Victoria, down the Victoria Nile into Lake Kyoga. They would then disembark at Masindi Port and travel by land to Butiaba, a port on Lake Albert, where they would resume their water journey downstream the Nile. With the decline of this mode of river transportation, Masindi Port and Butiaba have been reduced to mainly market towns.[4] PopulationIn 2009, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics estimated the population of Masindi Port at about 10,400.[5] See also
