White-Water Rafting on the Nile

A full day on the Victoria Nile. You will very likely be thrown out of the raft on at least one rapid, and that is a normal part of the trip rather than a mishap.

Worth knowing before you book

• •You must be comfortable being underwater unexpectedly and being pulled back into a raft.
• •Operators set their own minimum age and weight limits. Confirm before booking.
• •Not suitable during pregnancy, or with recent surgery, back or shoulder injuries.
• •Swimming ability is expected, though a helmet and lifejacket are worn throughout.

What helps

• Nothing you would mind losing to the river.
• A calmer float section is usually available if you would prefer it.

If any of this is a concern, tell us. We can usually adjust the trip, and we would much rather do that than have you find out on the day.
