The Nile River has some of the best grade 5 rapids in the world, providing a thrilling white water rafting experience; no Uganda safari would be complete without experiencing River Nile from its source. You will spend about 4 - 5 hours rafting for about 15km on the river, so dress comfortably (shorts and t-shirt are ideal) and be brave for the best water experience ever. Rafting on grade three water is also an option. For the less adventurous or the less tall, you could spend your time floating down the Nile. Beautiful islands, abundant birdlife, and flat, slow-moving water make it an ideal short family outing for young and old alike. This two-hour family float is ideal for small children.

River Nile is not only Africa's best white water rafting river, but it is also the best white water kayaking river, and you can experience some of the world's best white water from a completely different perspective.
