Whitewater Rafting (Half day)

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 - this is truly whitewater rafting at its best.

Guests are welcome to do rafting ‘combos', such as raft and bungee combo, or a ‘threesome: raft, bungee and jet boat. River Surfing is also available.

The trip includes:

• Kampala or Jinja transfers
• Briefing and distribution of safety helmets and life jackets
• Safety demonstration
• Rafting commences from the Nile High Camp - the trip starts on a calm section of water so that participants can practice with their paddles and then the rapids begin!
• Healthy lunch at Wakisi Island in the middle of the Nile
• After lunch, rafting resumes
• At the end of the rafting, guests will be transported back to Nile High Camp for a hot shower and unlimited complimentary refreshments
• Return transfer to Jinja and Kampala

A DVD of the day's adventure as well as photographs of your rafting experience are available at an extra charge ($45 for the DVD, $30 for the images).
