A. ITINERARY

Enjoy crossing the one stop border stop recently opened as you also rest and have a light meal.
Continue west into Uganda to arrive at Nile Explorers camp Jinja for the night in the evening.
Day Three Extreme Adrenaline Day
Today you wake up early to great bush dinner by our safari chef at the camp. Then you get to choose among a wide range of adrenaline as well as chilled activities to embark on. You can choose to do:-
Full Day Grade 5 Rafting: Spend the day with other team players in a combined raft rattling down the white furious rapids of the Nile. A buffet and party awaits you at the end.
Extreme Rafting: If team rafting is not exciting enough then this is it. Just you, a guide, and a small inflatable raft against the mighty rapids of the White Nile.
Extreme Raft River Board: This trip combines rafting and river boarding, so that you can rest the flat water sections and safely raft the few rapids that are considered unsafe for river boarding. If you’re up to it, try your hand at river surfing on a standing wave.
Bungee Jumping: Take a leap over the 45m Platform over the Nile and if you are crazy enough you can choose to touch the water.
Tandem Kayaking: Take a step of faith and hurtle down the Nile on a small kayak with a guide.
Nile Source and Caves Tour: Visit the source of the longest river in the world and take a boat ride around the river in a relaxed way. This is for the non-adrenaline traveller in the team.
Nile Cruise: You can take a sundowner cruise on the Nile with your favourite drinks and music to accompany this amazing experience.
A host of other activities from Horseback safaris and Quad bikes also give you less adrenaline ways to experience the Nile. Late in the evening retire for an evening party at the camp with our chefs’ barbeque.
