Jinja White-Water Rafting

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park 1 day 1–12 people Serengeti Horizons

About This Tour

Jinja sits at the source of the River Nile and offers some of the best white-water rafting in the world. This full-day adventure takes you through up to 8 major rapids ranging from Grade 3 (fun and splashy) to Grade 5 (adrenaline-pumping mayhem).

Professional safety kayakers accompany every raft, and experienced guides ensure the adventure is thrilling but safe. Between rapids, float through calm stretches surrounded by tropical vegetation, spot kingfishers and monitor lizards, and swim in the warm Nile waters.

No prior rafting experience is necessary — just a sense of adventure and the willingness to get very wet. This is consistently rated as one of Uganda's top activities by visitors.
