One Day Tandem Kayaking Adventure Tour in Jinja

Summary

Our driver will pick you up very early in the morning at 6:00 AM, from your hotel in Kampala, for a 2 hours’ drive to Jinja. On arrival in Bujagali, you will meet your guides and fellow kayakers. You will be briefed and receive all the necessary safety equipment for your adventure ahead. The first half of the day is made up of a wide range of easier rapids to test out all your skills. You are given all the necessary instructions, and a chance to practice them, and will try surfing little waves, dodging out of the rapids into eddies and back into the rapid again. Lunch provides the fuel, and the mornings skills provide the confidence to take on some epic rapids in the afternoon. We stop before all grade 4 and 5 rapids to explain to you the planned route through. There are easier and harder options through or around all the rapids, so if at any time you feel you would prefer to go down the easiest line or even walk around and then rejoin later, this is absolutely fine. Calm stretches of water separate the rapids – perfect for getting your breath back, taking a swim and enjoying the scenery. Later set off for your return trip to Kampala, reaching late evening.
