What do our visitors say
the highlight of Uganda
A highly experienced and fun organization. True whitewater rafting, so it's sporty, but safety is guaranteed. Forget Jinja, this is the place to be!
We booked the overnight rafting and it was amazing! Sadat ans his team were great and are very experienced! The food was amazing and more than enough!
We had a great rafting experience with a team of experts that helped and guided us in every way. Had a great vegan lunch (Thank you John). It was more than a fun rafting experience, it was also a guided tour through the landscape. Thanks to the guys (Juma, John, Aki and Singa)
