Rafting in Jinja, a highlight of our Uganda trip. Try it.

Highlight of our trip. A reason to include Uganda in your itinerary. Rafting is so much fun and felt so safe. Stable rapids due to a dam. The start was right next to our lodge. Everyone in the group could choose their own level. Juma, our guide gave us all so much confidence. Always checking our gear and looking us in the eye for the next rapid. Explaining how to use the help of the kajaks around us. Our driver was in the boat without swimming experience, it was scary for him, but we thought him to float on calm parts of the river and after that day he wanted to take swimming lessons and even wished he had tried a rapid 5. We were all impressed that while Juma got flung out of the boat with a backflip, he flung himself back in before we could notice. He seems made for this river. Food and drinks, extra sunscreen, on the water and on the way back were really well taken care of. Nice pictures taken by the crew.

A special and memorable day of rafting on the Nile

I cannot put into words how grateful we are for the Nalubale team for giving us the most incredible day of rafting! We felt so safe and had full trust in our guide. The supporting safety team were amazing and even on the scarier rapids, we knew that we were in good hands if we ended up in the water. Our guide made the day super special, allowing us to float for ages on the flat water, entertaining us with great stories and making us laugh non stop. It felt like our guides went out of their way to make us have the best day possible. We got some delicious fruit on the raft and ended the day with a yummy burger and cold beer. We got our photos sent to us that same night and they are fantastic! We loved every second and didn't want it to end. We will definitely be back to raft with Nalubale. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic rafting on the Nile

We had a fantastic day on the Nile. What an experience; spectacular rapids were interspersed with stretches of swimming, beautiful waterfalls and impressive scenery. Safety was paramount, very good guides, everything was checked every time. Good snacks and lunch, in short a must!

Whitewater rafting with Nalubale Rafting on White Nile

Nalubale Rafting provided a tremendous and professional trip. As a former rafting guide I rate these guys very highly. Great equipment, wonderful communications and briefing, very friendly and professional guides and a tightly organised safe trip complete with on river refreshments. Complimentary to the trip are high quality photographs capturing memories of all the rafting action and the surrounding natural environment and activities. This company was one of the first to pioneer this whitewater experience. I highly recommend Nalubale Rafting.

Professional and fun

Extremely professional team but very personable. Seemed like real, genuine people. The training was thorough but our guide made it fun. They do an excellent job tailoring the experience to people’s preferences (i.e. crazy vs. hard). I was a bit worried because I’m not super strong and had also just had knee surgery but it was fine (the guide at the back was probably doing most of the rowing). We were exhausted so did not partake in the revelry on the bus ride back, but the hosts made it really fun with plenty of beers for the more energetic folks. I’m really glad I didn’t die, lose my glasses, or get eaten by a crocodile. Would highly recommend. (That last bit was a joke, there were no crocodiles).

Best rafting

Amazing experience. I have done rafting in several countries and this is far the best one I’ve had. The team is very professional and friendly, we had so much fun, and the snack and lunch were delicious. 100% recommended.
