This package will allow you to maximise your time and make the most of your trip. You will be fully ‘guided’ for the duration, which means you will get top quality coaching as well as being able to enjoy the impressive Nile water in a safe and organised environment.

Day 1. On arrival at Entebbe Airport a Kayak the Nile representative will meet you. There follows an interesting three-hour journey to Bujagali Falls in Jinja, where you will be checked into your dormitory accommodation (upgrades available). Later you will be taken for a local village walk and will have a chance to view a couple of the spectacular rapids the Nile has to offer.

Day2. After breakfast we head down to ‘Kalagala Falls’ where we start the second-day stretch of the Nile. Our guide will ‘introduce’ you to this section, which has world-class play waves. - a taster for you to check-out the best, and then to give you plenty of time to play.

Day 3. After Breakfast we head down to the ‘Kayak Session” ramp and launch ourselves onto the Nile for the full One-Day section. Our guide will lead you down different lines to suit your ability, giving detailed descriptions of the rapids and scouting where necessary.

Day 4. After a morning of relaxation we head to the water again to run the first ten km of the river. As you covered this stretch on day 1, it will give you a chance to become more familiar with the river and check out some of the many different lines.

Day 5. Here, an early morning zip wire from high up over the river, is an optional extra. Then we return to run the full One- Day stretch, which finishes at ‘Itanda Falls’. This huge spectacular rapid is an exhilarating ride for the very skilled and the very very brave. Our guide will be at hand to advise on all the different lines during the day.

Day 6. Today we have a lighter day, as muscles will be getting weary spending the afternoon exploring the many channels the Bujagali area has to offer.

Day 7. We have a more leisurely start the next day and ‘session’ all the waves, all the way down the river. Our top class guides will be on hand, as well as members of the Ugandan Kayaking Team to offer coaching on how huck those ‘big air’ tricks. In the evening we reach the ‘Hairy Lemon’ Island. This is our very beautiful mid-river campsite. It has an added attraction: it is five minutes paddle from the ‘Nile Special’ -probably the worlds sweetest surf wave!!

Day 8. After a leisurely morning we paddle down stream to ‘Malalu’ the perfect wave to practice those big air tricks. It has good eddy access and a flat pool behind it. This is a coaching paradise. In the evening we head back to the ‘Hairy Lemon’ for a relaxed evening by the fire.

Day 9. Today we head up to Kalagala Falls, where we run this impressive section once again. After playing all the way down to ‘Malalu’ we take the scenic drive back up to Bujagali Falls to party away our last night in Uganda.

Day 10. Waking super early, we drive down to Lake Victoria where we head out to catch the sunrise. Although it seems quite a mission, it is certainly worth it. This is one of the most spectacular sights you will see. After some local style breakfast by the lake we take the drive back to Entebbe to fly home. Alternatively you can stay on!! We are more than happy to organise an extension.

The above itinerary is intended as an outline. We tailor the course to suit your requirements and the varying water levels of the day.
