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).
The Nileâs two major tributaries are known as the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The White Nile begins its path in Rwanda and wends its way north through Tanzania, Uganda, and South Sudan, where it merges with the Blue Nile at Khartoum. The Blue Nile begins in Ethiopia and flows into Sudan to Khartoum.he River Nile takes its name from the Greek word 'Nelios' meaning River Valley and it is the longest river in the world. Although many people consider it an Egyptian river, it actually flows through many countries and is the primary water source for both Egypt and Sudan.
