The roaring river Nile is one place the adrenaline enthusiast will feel right at home. The source of the Nile in Jinja is where one goes kayaking, tubing, canoeing or rafting. Jinja’s Grade 5 whitewater rafting experience is one of the best on the continent. The immensely breathtaking experience involves beating riotous rapids on the Nile. Rowing enthusiasts and beginners are both provided with safety equipment and accompanied by expert crews for safety purposes. Kayaking may also be done on the calm waters of Lake Kivu in Rwanda.
An alternative to water based activities is quad bike riding through marked forest trails by the banks of the Nile. The Nile is a gold mine for travellers interested in adventurous trips in East Africa.
East Africa is spread with multiple amazing, challenging and scenic hiking locations. The most popular ones include Nyungwe forest, the Congo-Nile trail in Western Rwanda, the incredible craters around Kabarole/Kibale in Uganda, Hell’s Gate National Park in Kenya and the expanse of the Karamoja region in NorthEastern Uganda.
Camping is available in all game parks, by the bases of mountains and on the lakeshores in the region.
