We have chosen the perfect 30 kilometer stretch of the Nile River. The first few rapids are low grade, 1’s & 2’s, and give clients a growing sense of confidence. As the river meanders through beautiful scenery, we guide the rafts into the mighty challenges of some of the best grade 5 rapids in the world. Twelve major rapids are rafted plus lots of lower graded runs; all selected to maximize your safety and fun.
On the river we suggest you wear light clothing, ideally; shorts and t-shirt, and bring plenty of sunscreen. We also suggest going bare foot in the rafts.
Rafters meet daily at 9.00am at Explorers Backpackers – Jinja. If you requirethe free transport from Kampala please contact us to make the necessary arrangements.
