Exciting Activities on the Nile this Festive season


If pure relaxation, water rafting, bungee jumping,kayaking,horse rides and a chance to complete de-stress is what you need to make this festive season a memorable one, then take a trip to the source of the Nile and explore what the Nile has to offer.
Well known to be the longest river in the world. Its source starts right from Jinja Uganda, some people may be wondering how the name Nile come about. It’s a famous Greek word simply meaning valley. The river starts from the Northeastern part of Africa. It flows from the surrounding areas close the equator to the outrageous Safari desert and up to the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The source of the Nile has been associated and known for its grade 5 white water rafting and i know many of you may think that’s all the Nile has to offer but am here to tell you that you better hold your sparks. The Nile offers a wide range of river and riverbank adventure activities which include water rafting, bungee jumping, Kayaking, boat rides, sport fishing, gorilla jetting, horseback rides as well as a Nile cruise to the bottom of the Nile.
A few kilometers further, is Bujagali Falls, the adventurer’s capital with grade-five white water rafting, kayaking, river boarding and mountain-biking. These activities offer a unique way to explore the river banks, passing through farms, forests and villages beside the Nile.
Up along the Nile’s course is Lake Kyoga which also feeds the river with fresh water. The course then leads you to the great Murchison Falls, where roars of millions of litres of water dropping form a lullaby. Activities such as spot fishing, game drives and scenic viewing can make your festive holiday an exciting one.
