Day 1: Transfer to Jinja

The transfer from Kampala to Jinja takes approximately three hours. Along the way, you may choose to stop at Mabira Forest, famous for its birds and primates. Jinja Town is worth a visit for its fading yet still majestic colonial architecture. Jinja has a very welcoming, relaxed feel to the place. The main street is a great place for getting a good cup of coffee and buying some crafts. Nestled in a luxuriant rainforest on its own private island, mid-stream in the mighty Nile, Wild Waters Lodge is breathtaking. Thick riverine forest naturally covers the island and each of the ten timber-floor rooms is nestled amidst the forest with private views over the River Nile and its rapids. The expansive, canvas-walled, traditionally thatched rooms boast private decks with elegant free-standing baths and wash basins carved from the local pink granite.

Day 2: White Water rafting

Widely regarded as “the best one-day rafting trip on the planet”, grade 5 white water rafting is the safest and most popular trip down the Nile. The rapids are challenging - but you will be safe in the hands of the expert rafters who know the river best. Your day will start with safety briefings, practice, and more practice before you embark on your downriver adventure. The white water is exhilarating, and your nerves will soon give way to screams of laughter. A hearty lunch is provided on one of the islands in the middle of the day. This will be a day to remember. The rafting team will be there to photograph and video all the activities for you (optional charge).
