Jinja adrenaline Kayaking experience along the Nile - Uganda safari News

Historical. Interesting. A must visit.

Eminent as the world’s longest river; River Nile, Jinja situated in Uganda, is home to the source of the Nile River. River Nile starts flowing off the world’s second largest fresh water; Lake Victoria, making its way to the Mediterranean Sea. Safari Uganda for a Jinja tour or Jinja day trip in the adrenaline capital of East Africa. While on your adventurous Jinja city tour or Jinja day tour, get your fix of white-water rafting, kayaking, quad biking, mountain biking and horse riding in a gorgeous natural setting with crumbling colonial architecture.

What is Kayaking like?

Waves crash over the front of the kayak. All around, white water sprays up into the air. The relative calm of the flat-water section (where you start) that follows this 100-meter-long rapid seems like a long way off. Every wave that hits the side of the kayak holds the potential to throw you out of the boat and into the white-water. Warm water, sunshine, tropical islands, and the perfect introductory rapids mean that your full day white water kayaking trip is sure to give you a memorable experience, off the tourist trail.

Will I enjoy the Kayaking?

Don’t get worried, there are many experienced guides that will make you feel at home on the water and with their exceptional knowledge of the local wildlife and environment, they will ensure you see all the river has to offer. Even if you’ve never been in a kayak before, you’ll be picking your own route through the famous crashing white water of the mighty Nile and mastering your first rapids in no time at all. People travel from all over the world to kayak the Nile and we passionately believe it’s the best place in the world for it.  

Take a boat cruise beyond the bird islands and between the fisherman’s boats, you will float past Gandhi’s famous monument which marks the location where his ashes were scattered, right next to the now sunken Owen Falls rapids. Learn about the Nile’s importance in the current political climate, and discover the reasons why the Nile is considered one of the greatest rivers in the world.
