What To Expect
Our 1 day trip covers roughly 19km of the Nile. We start on the flat water just a couple of kilometres 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 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 - Overtime (grade 5) you'll be feeling like a professional!

Professional and fun

5.00Extremely professional team but very personable. Seemed like real, genuine people. The training was thorough but our guide made it fun. They do an excellent job tailoring the experience to people’s preferences (i.e. crazy vs. hard). I was a bit worried because I’m not super strong and had also just had knee surgery but it was fine (the guide at the back was probably doing most of the rowing). We were exhausted so did not partake in the revelry on the bus ride back, but the hosts made it really fun with plenty of beers for the more energetic folks. I’m really glad I didn’t die, lose my glasses, or get eaten by a crocodile. Would highly recommend. (That last bit was a joke, there were no crocodiles).

5.00The whole crew was so nice, we had an incredible time. The rapids were amazing. We felt super safe because our guides gave us briefings for anything that could happen, so we just relaxed, enjoyed the adrenaline and laughed a lot! Also we got to swim in the river, it felt like paradise. When I come back to Uganda I’m definitely doing this rafting again!!! 100000% recommend!!!
Absolutely the best rafting we've done anywhere
