Whitewater Rafting on the Nile

About This Experience

We take you rafting down 19km of the White Nile, starting just below Bujagali Dam, through a legendary mix of flat water and grade 3–5 rapids. It's one of the best whitewater runs in the world, and we've been running it since day one — full safety training, experienced guides, and a support crew that knows this river inside out. Ideal for adventure seekers looking for a genuine adrenaline rush on the Nile. A great choice for solo travelers, couples, and groups of friends ready for a serious day (or half-day) on the water.

What to Expect

We meet you at our base in Bujagali for a full safety briefing before putting in on the flat water just below Bujagali Dam. We warm you up on easier grade 2 rapids Jaws, Pyramid, and Giggitty Giggitty before hitting the big stuff: Overtime (grade 5), then a choice between Chop Suey and Retrospect, followed by Bubugo, and finally Itanda Falls, where we run the "Bad Place" section. We introduce riverboarding at Itanda Hole before finishing with Vengeance, a grade 4 two-tier rapid. We close the day with a meal and cold drinks at our riverside base before dropping you back.
