Flat Water Tubing

Tubing on the Nile with Nile River Explorers, Jinja, Uganda

For the not so adventurous or the not so tall, why not spend your time drifting down the Nile. Beautiful islands, birdlife and flatter, slower moving water make it the ideal short outing for both families and friends.

This two hour trip is the perfect mini adventure for all ages. With a minimum age of 6, and plenty of opportunity to splash in the waters of the Nile, this trip provides an adventure for everyone.

There is an abundance of birdlife and wildlife to search for including Cape Clawless Otter, Red Tail Monkeys, Vervet Monkeys and Giant Nile Monitor Lizards.

This is a great experience for younger families and friends who want to chill and enjoy each others company. For those who wish, there is plenty of places for the kids to swim, always under the watchful eyes of our safety kayakers.

Itinerary

Whether staying in Jinja town or at our Explorers River Camp (recommended!), we will provide free transport to the start point where you will be fitted out with life jackets. Please ensure that we are aware of your pick-up point the day before.

Starting down from Owen Fall’s dam, we take time explore the many islands along this stretch of the Nile. Deep water and flat moving pools offer lots of opportunities to swim and play.

We finish at Explorers River Camp at Bujagali Falls where there is time, if you're brave enough, to test out our 25 metre water slide or enjoy a meal at the Fork n' Paddle overlooking the Nile.
