Your 1 day river Nile white water rafting adventure takes you to the source of river Nile – the world’s longest river found in Jinja. The beginning of the Nile at the Rippon falls, offers the ideal environment for a satiating grade 1 – grade 5 white water rafting experience.
Depending on one’s experience and prowess, rafting can be done in; fast moving waters with riffles and small waves, or in straight-forward rapids with wide clear channels which are evident without scouting, or in rapids with moderate irregular waves which may be difficult to avoid and which can swamp an open canoe, or in intense, powerful but predictable rapids requiring precise boat handling in turbulent waters, or in extremely long, obstructed and violent rapids which expose a rafter to added risk.

Itanda Falls, Jinja, Uganda Your 1 day river Nile white water rafting adventure will begin when our guide picks you from your residence or a suitable location in Kampala. After briefing you on how your trip will go, you will embark on a drive to Jinja – the location of the Nile in Eastern Uganda. You will drive through the prized Mabira forest – the largest rain forest in central Uganda, a habitat to a variety of mammals and bird species.
When you reach the Nile, you will report to the briefing point, meet other rafters and have breakfast. The resident rafting guides brief you about your white water rafting adventure. The rafting starting point is on a flat pool just above the first major rapid. While the crew unload the rafts and slide them down the ramp into the Nile, you will have the opportunity to relish the splendid view of the river and its surroundings.
Once down at the water edge, you will receive a demonstrated safety briefing before launching into the Nile for final practical instructions prior to floating down the pool. As the river meanders through the rocks, the rafting guide will redirect the raft into the mighty and challenging grade 5 rapids. To give you a satiating river Nile white water rafting experience, you will raft through eight major rapids and a series of other lower graded runs. 300 minutes

WNR was such a great experience. Very impressed with the company’s concentration on safety. Training was well explained and fun. They had about seven expert kayakers to assist anyone who left the boats whether willingly or otherwise. I also have to give a huge shout out to Big M who was our boat captain. He is an absolute professional, seriously skilled and great craic. Cannot to get back here again.
