Whitewater rafting

Are you thinking that whitewater rafting can only be done in Uganda? Well think twice. A whitewater rafting crew has been established in Nimule, allowing brave travelers to row through the tough Nile rapids from Nimule to Juba's capital. The whitewater rafting trip in South Sudan is considerably more adventurous because you will be passing through areas with hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, primates, and elephants. Stops on the islands and in calmer seas are available for sport fishing or birding.

If you are in Juba for the weekend, African Rivers can arrange a whitewater rafting adventure for you. They will pick you up from the capital and transport you to Nimule National Park's Fola Falls. Early in the morning, the activity begins. For unskilled rafters, the first eight kilometers of rapids are grade 4 and can be nerve-wracking. Things get easier after that as the rapids progress to grade 3 and 2.
