White Water Rafting in Kenya on Tana River Itinerary

The Tana River is a drop pool river offering and exciting day of white water rafting. The adventure starts with a 3 kilometer of easy class II and III white water, where plenty of opportunity to gain the practice of paddle skills required running the lower part of the river. A 6 kilometer section follows with an hour or so of relaxation to view the abundance of bird life around. Cool off with a swim in the warm water.

 

The final 7 kilometer of river, back to the campsite starts with some easy class III waters where paddle commands are gone over again. It is now the 3 big rapids (class IV and V) with names like Captains Folly, Can of Worms because of its four 90 degree bends in succession, and Sphincter Flexor. Subject to water levels, we may be able to “surf” in “fish eye” and then swim the next couple of minor rapids. Numerous smaller rapids brings one on to the last big one – Spasm, a series of drops over ¾ km section with a big surprise half way through.

 

We reach the campsite about 4 to 5 hours after setting off, where a full barbeque lunch awaits us. Plenty of beer and soft drink Included. After lunch when everyone is ready we leave for Nairobi arriving late afternoon.

 

What to Bring – Clothes you do not mind getting wet i.e. T Shirts, shorts or long sleeved shirt and trousers (especially for those who burn easily) and shoes that will not come off.

Athi River White Water Rafting Safari

(Mid April to Mid July, Mid November to early January)

The section of the Athi River that we run borders Tsavo National Park to the east. In many ways, this river is unique. Wonderful scenery, a multitude of wild-life, hugely varied and spectacular bird-life, coupled with the best of medium grade white water river, makes for a truly unforgettable experience.

 

Of the wild-life, bushbuck, giraffe, buffalo and elephant are among the most common animals seen. Crocodiles are a certainty, as are monkeys and baboons. The bird life along the river is of course spectacular and to date our guides have recorded over 120 different species.
