Days White Water Rafting in Jinja On River Nile
Itinerary
Day
1: Kampala - Drive to Jinja (Nile Source and Bujagali)
Whether
staying in Jinja or Kampala, we will provide free transport
to our rafting meet point. Please ensure that we are
aware of your pick-up point by the night before. Confirm
with African Spice Safaris.
On arrival you will have the opportunity to meet your
fellow rafters and guides while enjoying tea or coffee.
After a quick briefing, you will be fitted out with
life jackets and helmets before heading off 15 kilometers
down river to the start point of the days rafting.
En-route
you will have time to enjoy a breakfast of “Rolex”,
fruit salad and juice. “Rolex” (rolled eggs)
is Uganda’s famous equivalent of a breakfast burrito,
a tasty Spanish omelet wrapped in a chapatti. Rafting
is a physical activity so make sure you eat up big.
Snacks
of fruit, nuts and biscuits are provided on the river
to help keep your energy levels up throughout the day,
but we don’t like to weigh you down with a big
lunch just before the next major rapid.
Our rafting start point is on a flat pool just above
our first major rapid, Overtime. While our crew unload
the rafts and slide them down the ramp into the river
you will have time to admire the spectacular view as
well as use the toilets and changing room provided on
site.
Once down at the river’s edge, you will receive
a detailed safety briefing, before launching into the
river for a last bit of practical instruction as we
float down the pool. Overtime kicks off with a bang,
as we maneuver through the rocks and negotiate the 12
feet drop.
As
the river meanders through beautiful scenery, we guide
the rafts into the mighty challenges of some of the
biggest and safest grade 5 white water rafting in the
world. Eight major rapids are rafted plus several lower
graded runs; all selected to maximize your safety and
fun.
We
stop before all grade 4 and 5 rapids to explain to you
the planned route through, so if at any time you feel
you would prefer to join the safety boat or where possible,
walk around and then rejoin the raft, this is absolutely
fine. Calm stretches of water separate the rapids –
perfect for getting your breath back, taking a swim
and enjoying the scenery.
Stopping in the early afternoon, a delicious late lunch
awaits us at The Hairy Lemon where we will spend the
night. A choice of accommodation is offered, either
camping in our tents with mattresses and bedding, or
dorms or bungalows.
Whichever
you choose, this peaceful and relaxed island hideaway
situated in the middle of the Nile, is the perfect place
to spend the night. With its own beach, there is lots
of opportunity to continue the fun with a game of water
volleyball and or simply to relax in the calm pools
that surround the island.
For the keen fisherman, this is the perfect place cast
a line. Bring along your own rods or hire them there.
Relax with a drink while watching the wonders of nature
and the dramatic colour change of the sky and the river
on sunset. Enjoy a hearty Berbeque dinner before drifting
away to the campfire to reflect on the day’s events.

& Dinner}
Day
2 : Jinja (Nile Source and Bujagali)
- Drive
to Kampala
After a leisurely breakfast enjoying the spectacular
views of the River Nile, we raft a further 15km down
the river. This
section has fewer rapids, and longer meandering pools,
so the pace is quite different, and to liven it up
you have the option of paddling one of our two-man
inflatable canoes or river boarding in the rapids.
The
scenery is quite unspoilt, and you can enjoy the odd
encounter with fishermen floating along in dugouts,
or with bleary-eyed men brewing waragi, the toxic
local moonshine.
Ending the day at the ferry point of Busana, we then
head back to our new Riverside Restaurant for a delicious
BBQ buffet meal and cold beers and sodas.
Once
you have eaten your fill and sated your thirst with
a couple of cold ones, we will then transport you
to your destination, by shuttle bus to Kampala, or
back to Jinja.
