Go deeper

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect the River
The Nile is sacred in many cultures along its length. Ugandans have a deep connection to the river, which provides fish, water, transport, and hydroelectric power. Treat it with respect and do not litter.
Local Guides
The Ugandan rafting guides are among the best in the world, and many have been running these rapids for over a decade. They are skilled, funny, and dedicated to your safety. Tip them well and respect their instructions absolutely.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Nile Rafting travel guide.
