White Water Rafting
Run grade 3 to 5 rapids on the Nile below Jinja, with routes suited to both first-time rafters and experienced paddlers.
Jinja sits at the point where the Nile leaves Lake Victoria and starts its journey north, long regarded as the river’s source. What was once a quiet colonial town has become Uganda’s centre for white water, built around the rapids that form just downstream.
Grade 3 to 5 rapids draw rafters and kayakers from across the region, while calmer stretches suit stand-up paddleboarding and sunset cruises. A bungee platform over the river and a scatter of riverside cafes round out what has become Uganda’s most active adventure hub.
