Absolute consummate professionals in every way. I decided I was going to make a trip to Jinja and raft the day before and reached out to several outfitters. Not only did White Nile respond the fastest, the professionalism and knowledge of the staff was immediately apparent.
The actual rafting part was an absolute blast but the feeling of total safety from having five or six guys on kayaks surrounding the raft at all times was priceless. Great photography including tons of high-resolution pics and videos satisfied my social media bragging rights afterwards. The driver who collected me in Kampala and brought me back in the evening was equally professional and courteous. Can’t recommend this operation enough - while the price is high, it is absolutely worth it for the quality of the experience.

We rafted the Nile with only 4 people on a half-day trip. We had someone cancel out at the last minute, but White Nile still made the trip happen. They were able to add in another rower to help us during the long stretch.
They are committed to safety and make sure that you are comfortable in the water before you reach any rapids. We practiced flipping and retrieval methods. The rescue kayaks were on top of things when we decided that we wanted to flip during the first rapid. They scooped me right up and delivered me back to the boat. We walked around the level 6 rapid and admired its power and took great photos.
That's another thing... They take photos throughout the whole trip and they are complimentary with your rafting fee. They are awesome!! The videographer and the photographer are great and captured everything on our trip. I am super happy with all the photos and videos that were provided!
I recommend longer pants as the ropes burn when going in and out of the boat when you only have shorts on. and DO WEAR SUNSCREEN!
The White Nile Team is a friendly bunch. We came in as clients and left as a family after our delicious buffet lunch that they provided.
I highly recommend adding White Nile Rafting to your Kampala, Uganda itinerary!

We did a full day of rafting with the White Nile Rafting crew. We are overlanders and arrived the evening before with our camper. The area for camping is beautiful and the toilets and showers are clean. The rafting day starts with a delicious full breakfast and after a good and professional briefing on the river we were ready to face the first rapids. What a fun experience!
For each of us 6 tourists there was one safety kayak and there was an additional full size safety raft. The guides were fun and very professional. Non of us ever felt unsafe. The afternoon ended with a delicious barbecue dinner and a few complementary beers. We highly recommend this place especially if you have no rafting experience so far. Thanks! We would love to join you again.

This was a superb experience and I highly recommend it to anyone. I am now retired, aged 73 and I have spent my working life in adventure education at the highest level. White Nile Rafting ranks amongst the very best companies I have experienced worldwide. They were totally professional in every aspect of their delivery. I have rarely seen such excellence. I could not fault them in any area. Thank you all at White Nile Rafting for an unforgettable day on the river.

I took there my clients last month on 20th of February under deks safaris and tours Africa, I assure you they had the best experience at the nile. I recommend white nile rafting for anyone seeking for great adventures and white water rafting experience in Africa. Jinja being the best adventure city in East Africa, simply plan a visit and experience nature.

My wife, son and I rafted down the Nile. It was so much fun! We had excellent guides who were knowledgeable, safe and entertaining. There were five major rapids. Before each rapid the guides gave us the option of an easy route down the rapid or a challenging one. This allowed us to choose the level of thrill and fear that we wanted —- it was great!
We had a great breakfast provided by White Nile before we rafted and a very tasty dinner after the trip. Along the way, we were served fresh pineapple.
White Nile rafting sent photographers out in kayaks and they took great shots of our trip. Unlike the other rafting trips we have taken, the photos were all provided for free with the trip.
The entire day of two meals, great rafting and photos was extremely affordable. Staff were helpful. Equipment was in great shape. All good!

I can't speak highly enough about White Nile Rafting. The young men that work here go above and beyond to make this a great experience. We had a variety of ages and levels of comfort in our group and they made sure that each one of us received the level of adventure and comfort we needed. These guys all had smiles on their faces and made sure we kept smiles on ours. We got a little bit of Uganda history as we paddles along the way. They had an excellent photographer who took pictures and videos for us to remember the experience. As well, they provided breakfast, a snack on the river and a fabulous bbq lunch afterwards. I would definitely recommend and use White Nile Rafting again. They surpassed my expectations. I was told not to drink the water in Africa but I can tell you, I drank the water and you should too with White Nile Rafting!!

Its amazing how far this company has come. When I first rafted with them four years ago, they were a simple rafting agency with just three boats. That’s exactly what I was expecting to find when I visited them yesterday, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to discover that they have not only grown into a fully fledged state, they now have what it takes to host over 30 rafters at ago. This is thanks to their possession of close to 10 new boats as acquired over the last two years. But that is only half of the story, they now even have a camping site where one relax at the end of an exhilarating water rafting excursion.
While all this is great, what really stole my heart though is that despite having grown so much, these guys still prioritize safety of clients over everything from the word go. If my guess is right, this could be one of the reasons as to why so many adventure lovers have been able entrust them with organizing adventures on the nile. Way to go Prossy and Team, keep up the good work.

White Nile Rafting team gave us the best river experience, and a comfortable pre and post-rafting experience. Ben our on-the raft guide gave us a cool worthwhile Nile taming adventure and there's also that kayaker (I didn't get his name) who gave me the most thrilling experience in the Bubugo rapids. A professional organized team.

We enjoyed a perfect day with White Nile rafting. Very professional set up, cutting no corners on safety and quality. A team of 8 people took great care of our family of four during a day trip. We had a great experience and felt really safe and looked after, even with the adrenaline pumping in the white waters of the Nile rapids. Complete with pick up, breakfast and BBQ late lunch. Very satisfied and happy with our choice. Go check them out!
