You will set off for Jinja early in the morning and have your breakfast at around 6:00am. From Kampala you will be heading to Eastern Uganda through Seta, Mukono, Lugazi and through the fascinating rain forest, Mabira forest.

You will have breakfast at the briefing point right before rafting. After breakfast, you will be briefed by the rafting experts who will be with you on the boat. You will board the boat with only your clothes on, no shoes, no bags or even food. So you make sure you fill up because the next meal will be lunch. Don't forget to ease yourself as there are no bathrooms on the water.

You will now get into the water and try out the safety drills taught in the briefing, then proceed to the simple rapids first, as you continue, the rapids gradually increase making the adventure more thrilling. Remember, it is not required to know how to swim to go rafting. Plus, you can choose if you want a crazy ride or just a calm adventure without flipping into the water, either way is fun!
