The Best White Water Rafting in the World – Probably

This weekend the Rakai Six headed back to Jinja – home to the source of the Nile – to go white water rafting! (first visit, June 5th entry)

Many travel guides name Jinja as having some of the best rafting in the world. The guides of the company we rafted with, The Nile River Explorers, wore great shirts touting nearly the same claim, “Probably the Best White Water Rafting in the World” (emphasis mine).

No one has photos of us actually rafting, as no camera would have survived. But here are some before photos . . .

The main benefit of staying overnight at the campsite was the great view of the Nile and viewing the DVD of the day! It was so awesome that we had to buy it! You’ll have to pay me a visit back in the US to see it first hand. The rafting was well worth incurred bruises, blisters and sunburns.
