White Water Rafting Jinja Day Trip from Kampala is a full day tour to Jinja approximately one hour’s drive from Kampala. White Water Rafting is mainly done on the River Nile in Jinja.

Our White Water Rafting Jinja Day Trip starts on the west bank of the Nile river above Overtime rapid and finishing near Hairy Lemon Island, about 20 kilometers down river.

The route includes eight Grade 3–5 rapids (two are Grade 5: Overtime and The Bad Place/ Itanda Falls). While on the river, you’ll get to see a lot of different birds, and you can swim in the calm stretches of water between the rapids.

The tour includes rafting equipment, return transportation from Kampala or Jinja, buffet lunch, beers and sodas.

0630 Hours: Whether staying in Jinja or Kampala, we will pick you up from your hotel/ residence to our rafting meet point. Please ensure that we are aware of your pick-up point by the night before. Bookings essential through [email protected]!

On arrival at our meeting point, you will have the opportunity to meet your fellow rafters and guides while enjoying a tea or coffee. After a quick briefing, you will fit out with life jackets and helmets.

Head 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 omelete 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.

White Water Rafting Jinja Day Trip 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.

At the end of the rafting day we pull over at our new Riverside Restaurant, just downstream of the Hairy Lemon Island, for a delicious Barbeque buffet lunch and cold beers and sodas.

Once you have eaten your fill and sated your thirst with a couple of cold ones, you will be transported to your next destination, shuttle bus to Kampala, or back to Jinja.
