Jinja White-Water Rafting on the Nile

Jinja 1 day 1–12 people Crater Lakes Safari Lodge

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 to Grade 5.

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 needed — just a sense of adventure and the willingness to get very wet.

Great safari, minor hiccups

The game drives were fantastic and we saw all of the Big Five. The lodge was comfortable. Only downside was a slight delay on the second day, but overall a wonderful experience.
