1 Day Jinja White Water Rafting Adventure
Overview
Our one-day Jinja white water rafting trip is the perfect way to feel the power of the Nile. You tackle big rapids, float through calm stretches and enjoy lunch on the river. In addition, expert guides and safety kayakers stay with you all day. As a result, the trip suits both first-timers and experienced rafters.
Jinja is about two hours’ drive from Kampala, so the trip also works as a day out from the city. For more rafting options, see our white water rafting page. Alternatively, stay longer on our 2-day Nile rafting and river camp safari. You can also read about Jinja on the Uganda Tourism Board website.
Tour Plan
First, we pick you up from your hotel in Kampala or Jinja and drive to the source of the Nile. On arrival, your guides give a full safety briefing. They fit your helmet and life jacket and teach you how to paddle. Next, you practise in calm water before you hit the first rapids. Then the real fun begins, with Grade 3 to Grade 5 waves.
After the big rapids, you stop for a picnic lunch by the river. Then you float through calmer stretches, where you can swim and spot birds. Finally, we drive you back to your hotel in Jinja or Kampala. You can also buy photos and videos of your day.
