About this experience
This is our most popular 2-day activity. It is incredible value for money, offering you return transport from Kampala, one-night accommodation either at the tea-house or the Nile River Camp, breakfast, lunch, plenty of beers and snacks after the trip and over 200 photos. We're almost forgetting the 3-4 hours of incredible whitewater and a 19km journey down the mighty white Nile with the best crew in the business.

Itinerary and highlights
Day 1: Our trip starts in Mabira Forest, way to Jinja and we do Ziplining. This activity can take up to 3 hours. We have lunch in the forest. Next, we continue to Jinja and do a boat cruise on the River Nile visiting the Source of the River Nile.
Day 2: The rafting trip covers roughly 19km of the Nile. We start on the flat water just a couple of km downstream of the Bujagali Dam where we'll run through a comprehensive safety training with you. We start the day with Jaws, Pyramid and Giggitty, a great easy section of grade 2 whitewater to train you up and whet your appetite before the big stuff. By the time you get to your first major rapid of the day, you'll be feeling like a professional! Immediately after Overtime comes the choice between the grade 4+ Chop Suey and grade 4 Retrospect (water level dependent).
Then comes some flat water and a chance to relax before Bubugo (Grade 3/4) which, though small to the eye, often flips rafts over! After Bubugo we have some light refreshments during a short flat before the incredible Itanda Falls! Vengeance finishes up our day, a grade 4, two-tier rapid which can often offer a flip for those who dare hit the biggest waves!
