With seven times the volume of the Zambezi, the White Nile is the wettest and wildest river trip you'll ever take! That said, rafters can opt for a ‘Wild or Mild' experience: if you choose you go ‘wild', you will paddle as a part of a team, bursting through huge walls of white water and tackling all of the Grade 5 rapids. If you would prefer the ‘thrills without the spills', you can choose to drift along the water in the suntan raft, where your guide will take more conservative lines through the rapids and the chances of flipping are slim. Either way, the roar of the rapids will not escape you.
The bungee tower has spectacular views of the world's longest river. You can choose to jump the traditional way, using an ankle tie, or with a full-body harness. The tower can support up to 235kgs, so it's also possible to jump with a friend, at night or even in a kayak!
Tandem and night jumps are also possible.
Guests are welcome to do a rafting, bungee and jet boat ‘threesome'. River Surfing is also available.
