Rafting in West Uganda

Did you know you can raft in West Uganda? In the lush green jungle river, called Birira River, we at SANA Gorilla Rafting offer one of the highlight activities of Uganda!

The river is located near all the other highlights of Uganda, being the gorilla trekking, chimp trekking, Queen Elizabeth Safari Park and the crater lakes. The surroundings are stunning, the riverbeds are tangible and you will be surrounded by tropical birds and small monkeys. Do not miss out on this activity, that will fit greatly into your itinerary!

On top of its beauty, the river is also safe! The company is led by Sadat Kawawa, the professional white-water kayaker and river guide from Uganda, sponsored by Red Bull and Kokatat – among others. He is not only certified with the International Rafting Federation, but qualified to certify others as well. He and his team have many years of experience of rafting in Jinja, on the Nile. On every trip there will be a safety briefing, safety equipment and safety kayakers. https://kokatat.com/team/sadat-kawawa/

The trip starts from Rukungiri, with a 45 min nature drive to the river. You will then be taken on a magical experience on the river, for about 4 hours, including a lunch stop on a tropical island and a local surprise. Photos and a drink at the end are also included, before we drive you on another beautiful drive back to Rukungiri, for you to sleep at our accommodation, or continue to your next destination.
