WHITE WATER RAFTING IN UGANDA

The best white water rafting experience on River Nile.

River Nile starts its journey from Jinja, on Lake Victoria meanders into Bujagali falls and drains into the Mediterranean Sea. The legendary Nile cuts its passage northwestwards across Karuma falls, follows the narrow passage of Murchison falls towards Lake Albert in Murchison falls national park, proceeds to Sudan and finally settles in Egypt.

The source of River Nile, Lake Victoria is located in Jinja, Uganda and one of Africa’s largest freshwater lakes. This point was discovered to be the true source of River Nile by John Speke in 1858 and named it after the then Queen [Victoria] who was by that time at the reign of England.

The river is indescribably gorgeous, untouched, surrounded by unspoiled nature characterized by pools of luscious water vegetation, peacefully in near perfect circles here and there across. The Nile has been an outstanding hub of water adventure especially white water rafting, Kayaking, and Bungee jumping which are great adventure experiences that any traveler yearns for while on a safari in Uganda.

Nowhere else does water rafting come alive like Jinja where rafters get indulged in the real experience of getting through the thunderous rapids of River Nile. Travelers use standard rafting gears, with an emergency crew always on standby to dive into the rescue of an adventurer who gets overwhelmed with the adrenalin rush. The presence of a rescue crew makes one feel at ease during the four excursions, allowing them to view and appreciate the beauty of Uganda at its peak.

While rafting, only the soft sounds of birds whooping in the distance can be heard and adventurers stand a chance of catching sight of bird species that prey on aquatic species, such as kingfishers and fish eagles which stand on trees found on small islands along the river.

In these islands lie calm stretches of River Nile where one can even swim under warm rays of African sun and by the time they finish, they are washed of all their stress. White water rafting in Uganda involves getting into the water, tripping over the raft and popping up underneath so you wouldn’t panic if at all it happens on the first moving waters of the Nile.
