Countries Through Which the White Nile Flows

The White Nile flows through five countries from its headwaters to its confluence with the Blue Nile at Khartoum:

1. Tanzania (source streams feeding Lake Victoria)
2. Uganda (Lake Victoria, Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert, Murchison Falls)
3. South Sudan (Sudd swamp, Juba)
4. Sudan (to Khartoum)
5. Egypt (though the main Nile continues, the White Nile effectively ends at Khartoum)

It contributes ~15% of the Nile's annual flow but provides steady year-round discharge, unlike the seasonal Blue Nile.
