NRE offers a fantastic base while you're visiting the Jinja area. We stayed for three nights. Pros: The views (!!), Staff are fabulous, showers (hot), activities on offer and price ($35/night for a safari tent with amazing views). Cons: This is a party place - we were kept up past 2am in both the safari tents and the double en suite. You just can't get away from the noise. As an aside, in all our time in East Africa, this is the place I got bitten by insects the most - and we stayed in the Camp next door too without any problems! On our last night we actually had to move out of our tent because the bed was crawling with ants - we never ate in the tent, had no snacks and no drinks but sealed bottles of water. The staff responded brilliantly and we were offered a free upgrade to a double en suite room straight away. It's certainly not NRE's fault but worth bearing in mind.

The Rafting experience is amazing! We took our kids down the rapids too, and our guide always made us feel safe. We stayed in the family lodge, which was good for one night. But the music and partying never stopped, and for my kids it was not good watching this, whilst trying to order dinner. I would recommend the Backpackers lodge down the road. The staff there is amazing and it's more family friendly. We had to wait for over an hour for a basic breakfast, very slow service...

We went for a Grade 5 rafting without any experience and it was amazing! Juma our rafting guide was really good and made us feel comfortable and made sure that we enjoy the ride! We were impressed by the number of crew members that are with us to ensure our safety. We capsized once but the safety kayakers were so good that they were able to pick us up quickly! Thanks again to Juma, Tim, Paul, and the rest of the crew! We definitely recommend booking your rafting with them :)

White Water Rafting with Juma and Team

My partner Kim and I recently had the extraordinary privilege of embarking on a white-water rafting adventure with Nile River Explorers, led by the exceptional Juna and supported by an incredible team of eight dedicated staff. To say it was the experience of a lifetime would be an understatement!

From the very beginning, Juma and his team made us feel like royalty. Despite being just the two of us, the effort, attention, and care they provided...

That was the WORST rafting experience I have ever had, and I have done rafting in many places worldwide.

  1. That is NOT a rafting activity. Totally overrated. It should be called as a rafting boat trip around the nile. Most of the time you are paddeling and you only enjoy 4 rapids during 2 hours. It was probably a great place for rafting before the dam was build, but nowadays is no longer a rafting river, but a flat water rafting.
  2. UNPROFESIONAL and NOT MOTIVATED staff. The safety talk...

We had a great time rafting the Nile with Nile River Explorers and also staying in their accommodation for 2 nights. The rafting experience was fun, adrenaline-fuelled and a professional operation. Josh our guide explained everything very well to us and we went through all the safety procedures and how to hold on to the kayaks should that be needed. He was able to adapt the experience to the group needs too, as after we’d flipped once on a grade 5, the group didn’t want to flip again on...
