- Itanda Falls - Your 1 day river Nile white water rafting adventure will begin when our guide picks you from your residence or a suitable location in Kampala. After briefing you on how your trip will go, you will embark on a drive to Jinja
- the location of the Nile in Eastern Uganda. You will drive through the prized Mabira forest
- the largest rain forest in central Uganda, a habitat to a variety of mammals and bird species.
When you reach the Nile, you will report to the briefing point, meet other rafters and have breakfast. The resident rafting guides brief you about your white water rafting adventure. The rafting starting point is on a flat pool just above the first major rapid. While the crew unload the rafts and slide them down the ramp into the Nile, you will have the opportunity to relish the splendid view of the river and its surroundings.
Once down at the water edge, you will receive a demonstrated safety briefing before launching into the Nile for final practical instructions prior to floating down the pool. As the river meanders through the rocks, the rafting guide will redirect the raft into the mighty and challenging grade 5 rapids. To give you a satiating river Nile white water rafting experience, you will raft through eight major rapids and a series of other lower graded runs.

Your one-day journey to white water rafting promises an exhilarating adventure at the origin of the Nile River - the world’s longest river, located in Jinja. The commencement of the Nile at Rippon falls provides the perfect setting for an enthralling grade 1 - grade 5 white water rafting session.
Based on your expertise and skill level, you can choose to raft in a variety of conditions; ranging from swift flowing waters speckled with ripples and tiny waves, to straightforward rapids with wide, visible channels that don’t require prior scouting. You can also opt for rapids filled with moderate, inconsistent waves that can be challenging to evade and have the potential to fill an open canoe. Or, for thrill-seekers, there are intense, forceful yet predictable rapids that demand meticulous maneuvering in turbulent waters, as well as extremely long, obstructed and fierce rapids that can increase the level of danger for a rafter.
