Take your paddling skills to the next level.
​
On the White Nile, the home of iconic rapids, warm water, and sun-soaked days of paddling.

Taking your kayaking to the next level takes time, focus, and the right environment. Our 1–2 Week Intermediate/Advanced Courses are designed for paddlers with experience who want to refine their skills, tackle bigger rapids, and deepen their understanding of river dynamics. Whether you stay for one week or extend to two, you’ll have the time to progress at your own pace while fully immersing yourself in the rhythm of the Nile.

​

With warm water, reliable sunshine, and a river that offers multiple channels, iconic waves, and high-volume rapids, this is the perfect setting to challenge yourself and develop advanced paddling skills. You’ll spend your days navigating varied rapids, practicing freestyle or playboating techniques, and refining your river reading. Evenings in Jinja offer a chance to relax, recover, and soak up the local culture where river life and Ugandan life flow together.

Why Choose a Longer Course?

​

Short experiences can give a taste of whitewater, but a full week or more lets you make real progress. You’ll revisit skills, build confidence on bigger rapids, and leave with a deeper understanding of river dynamics. Extending to two weeks gives you space to refine technique, tackle more variety in river conditions, and truly feel at home on the Nile.

​

By the end of the course, you’ll leave with advanced skills, greater confidence, and the experience of paddling some of the world’s most exciting rapids.

Accommodation and Transport Made Simple

​

For the 1-week course, you’ll spend five nights camping by the river, with an airport pick-up on arrival to make starting your adventure simple and stress-free.

​

For the 2-week course, this extends to ten nights of camping with breakfast. Airport pick-up is included for all participants, and groups booking the full two weeks also receive a return transfer at the end of their stay, while one-on-one courses remain arrival-only.

​

Accommodation upgrades are available for those who prefer extra comfort, and a course-only option is offered for those arranging their own accommodation and transport.
