    River Nile rafting

    March 11 in Uganda ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    My experience of rafting on the Nile River was truly unforgettable. It all started at the Nile Sport Safari camp in Buyala near Jinja, where we received a detailed safety briefing and were equipped with helmets and life jackets. Before heading out on our adventure, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of fruit salad, juice and a local delicacy called Rolex (the Ugandan burrito).

    Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were well prepared for the challenges ahead. They even had us practice flipping the boat several times to make sure we were familiar with the technique. Although I was very tired, I needed to gain confidence before tackling the rapids. Our guide Okia was especially attentive and made sure we understood the stream line.

    As we gained more experience and learned to row in sync with each other, we completed all the rapids with relative ease. Our guide stopped at each major rapid to explain the best route, ensuring we were fully aware of what lay ahead. Even though I encountered some challenging category 4 rapids, I never felt in any danger. The support team accompanying us were exceptional and quickly rescued anyone who was overboard.

    Overall, rafting on the Nile River was an incredible adventure that pushed us to our limits and rewarded us with breathtaking scenery and breathtaking moments. It was an experience I will cherish forever.
