The Nile River has two major branches, the Blue Nile and the White Nile. Both branches are named for the color of their water. The Blue Nile is a bright blue at its source, and begins to darken when it reaches the Sudan, while the White Nileâs water is a whitish-gray (Hoyt, 2008). The White Nile is longer and travels through Egypt, Uganda, and meets the Blue Nile in the Sudan. Though the Blue Nile is shorter than the White, it supplies most of the water, beginning in Ethiopia and flowing until it meets the White Nile in the Sudan. The two branches of the Nile snake through the countries of Rwanda, Tanzania, Egypt, Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda (Tignor, 2010).
W ith an estimated length of almost 6.700 km the Nile is the longest river in the world. The White Nile rises in Lake Victoria in Uganda.Untill today the discussion about the real source is still going on. Since 2006 the British discoverer Neil McGrigor claims having found the most distant source in Rwanda, at the beginning of the Kagera River with its mouth in the western part of Lake Victoria.rom here the river is known as the Albert Nile and is the last part of the river on Ugandan territory. Via South Sudan the White Nile enters Sudan. Near the capital Khartoum the White Nile meets the Blue Nile. This tributary begins at Lake Tana in Ethiopia and flows into Sudan from the southeast.
