The Nile consists of three rivers, which then unite and flow into the Mediterranean through the Nile Delta:

1. The Atbara river:
   • flows from Lake Tana in Ethiopia, joining the Nile at the town of Atbarah in the Sudan.
2. The Blue Nile:
   • flows from Ethiopia, into the Sudan, to join the White Nile at Khartoum.
3. The White Nile:
   • flows from Lake Victoria, Uganda, through the South Sudan, joining the Blue Nile at Khartoum in the Sudan.
   • Lake Victoria
     • Two Rivers flow into Lake Victoria, one of which must be considered the true source of the Nile.
     • Kagera River: it flows from Lake Rweru in Burundi, then between Rwanda and Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania, to join with the River Rubuvu. It then flows between Tanzania and Uganda, into Lake Victoria.
