A day of Two Halves
Your day will consist of two parts; a calm water introduction & an afternoon white water trip.
From our base at Bujagali you’ll head down to Lake Bujagali with an experienced Kayak the Nile instructor, keen to share his passion for kayaking. The flat water here provides an ideal environment for us to teach you a few fundamentals of kayaking. You will be introduced to the key concepts – learning how to control your boat and where it goes, how to get out of your boat if you need to and the basic strokes and techniques.
Comfortable with the morning, the afternoon is the main event. Taking a short drive from our base out through the villages, we rejoin the river at the first free-flowing section of the Nile. Between lush jungle islands teaming with wild-life you’ll tackle your first rapid, with your guide leading the way.
The section of white water on the Nile that we choose for your first day of kayaking has a great variety of fun waves to surf, rapids to master and eddy lines to play on. The section is deep, warm and has no rocks to hit, so we even continue to use this section on our multi day courses if you fancy further building up your skills.
We believe that we are different and pride ourselves on providing more than just another holiday ‘activity’. We’ve been told that what sets us apart from other ‘activities’, is you end the day with a feeling of genuine achievement. You will see huge improvements in your skills from when you first get in a boat, most likely being unable to make it go in a straight line, to the end of the day having mastered some real white water rapids and waves!
We aim for a day with Kayak the Nile to be both an unforgettable experience and one that sparks an interest in you enjoying rivers worldwide.
