I came to Uganda on a work trip and only had limited time so I wanted to make the most of it, if possible. This was such an incredible trip! The guides picked me up from my hotel in Kampala and dropped me off at the end of the day. Because they were class 5 rapids, safety was very important. We spent ~1 hr on the river practicing safety techniques on lower class rapids. The guides were so knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. You can tell they love what they do and care about you as a guest. If you’re thinking about this trip, I recommend having done at least class 3 rafting before this as you’ll be encountering swells and a waterfall. After the rafting was done, they treated us to lunch a drink (including beer). Highly recommend!!!
Such a fun day with great...
