Grade 3 White Water Rafting
This is the ideal one day white water river trip for families with children as young as eight and those who want to experience white water rafting on the Nile without the intensity of grade 5 rapids.
Warm water, safe pools to swim, islands full of birds and fisherman in dugouts combine with fun and white water adventure to make this the perfect family and friends day out on the Nile. Nile River Explorers is the only company that starts your day with a 40 metre water slide into the Nile.
The grade 3 rapids are fun without being overwhelming so there’s plenty of white water action, but also time to sit back, relax and enjoy your surrounds and have the occasional water fight.
FREE NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION
One free nights dormitory accommodation or a discount on tents and rooms is included in all full day rafting trips.
FREE PHOTOS & VIDEOS
Our expert photographers capture all the smiles and action so that you can relive the adventure for years to come.
FREE WATER SLIDE
Nile River Explorers is the only company that offers you free use of our 25m water slide.

Itinerary
Start the morning with a delicious breakfast overlooking the Nile. After an initial briefing from our guide, you will fitted out with life jackets and helmets before heading off down river to the start point.
Whether staying in Jinja town or at our Explorers River Camp (highly recommended!), we will provide free transport to our rafting start point. Please ensure that we are aware of your pick-up point the day before.
On arrival you will have the opportunity to meet your fellow rafters and guides. Once down at the river’s edge, you will receive a detailed safety briefing, before launching into the river on our 40 metre water slide, for some practical instruction.
As the river meanders through beautiful scenery, we guide the rafts into the mighty challenges of some of the biggest and safest white water rafting in the world.
We stop before all the rapids to explain to you the planned route through so as to ensure maximum fun and safety. If at any time you feel you would prefer to join the safety boat or where possible, walk around and then rejoin the raft, this is absolutely fine. Calm stretches of water separate the rapids – perfect for getting your breath back, taking a swim and enjoying the scenery.
Midway through the trip, on one of the flat pools, we will serve biscuits and Uganda’s famous juicy pineapples. Once you have eaten your fill and sated your thirst, we head off for some more action.
Cold beer, soda's and fresh chicken wraps are a welcome reward as we pack up the gear for the drive back to Jinja.
For those of you staying at Explorers River Camp at Bujugali, there is no better way to finish the day than by enjoying the unequalled views of a sunset on the Nile.
