The White Nile is made up of the Burundian source river Luvironza-Ruvuvu-Ruvusu-Akagera and the Rwandan source river Rukarara-Nyabarongo. When the rivers are gathered together are called the River Akagera Nile, which flows into Lake Victoria. The Victoria is a former artificial lake that was now converted into a reservoir. From here, the Nile flows into Lake Albert, which is why he is there, from Albert Nile.
