White Water Rafting

 

 

Enjoyed on different degrees of rough and calm water. Rafting in Kenya has been going for over 25 years and has some of the best rafting in the world.

The following White Water Rafting Adventures are available:

*Mathioya River Rafting

Descending over 450m in only 22km, the Mathioya River offers some of the most technical rafting in Kenya. It's a narrow, low volume river and with rapids up to grade IV, previous experience is required to take on the 8km of continuous Class IV white water.

The Mathioya River trip is only available during the rainy seasons (mid April to mid June or October and November) and you must have rafted with us before. We offer two trips a day, every day, the first at 9am and the second at 2pm. Please note that we need a minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 60 people.

What is Included:

-3 to 4 hours of rafting,
-Transport between camp and river (and Nairobi if required)
-A professional qualified guide per boat
-All rafting equipment
-A guaranteed good time

*Tana River Rafting

Tana River Rafting is a 'pool/drop' river where areas of calm water, perfect for viewing the wildlife allow you to catch your breath after navigating stretches of class II to V white water. It provides a truly spectacular day of white water rafting. Depending on water levels you'll raft 8-16km of river. The trip starts with 3km of easy class II and III white water, with plenty of opportunity to gain practice in the paddle skills required to run the lower part of the river. A calmer 6km section follows, and a tranquil hour or so marvelling at the abundant bird life. Here you can cool off with a swim in the warm water.

The final 7km back to the campsite start with easy class III water where paddle commands are reviewed in advance of the final challenge! For now, there is no way back as you crank it up to face the big class IV and V rapids. Captains Folly, Can of Worms (named because of its four, successive 90 degree bends) and Sphincter Flexor come first before, subject to water levels, you "surf" in the "fish-eye" hole before swimming the next couple of minor rapids. Numerous smaller rapids bring you at last to the class 5 Spasm, a series of drops over 3/4km with a big surprise half way through! And finally from here, the hard work complete, a gentle 15 minute float brings you safely back to camp.

We can offer two trips a day every day from our river side Camp, the first at 9am and the second at 2pm. Please note that we need a minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 60 people per trip.

What is Included

We raft a section of the Athi River that borders Tsavo National Park, perfect for viewing bushbuck, giraffe, buffalo, elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, baboons and hippo. The bird life is also spectacular and to date our guides have recorded over 120 species. The Athi River Rafting is a "pool/drop" river where areas of calm water, perfect for viewing the wildlife allow you to catch your breath after navigating stretches of class II to IV white water. The Athi provides the ultimate in river safari.

Nights are spent in our mobile 300,000 star hotel, moored at one of the many white sandy beaches at the side of the river. Your guides will delight and impress you with their culinary talents around a camp fire under the stars.
