Adventure Safari starts our representative will warmly welcome you and facilitate seamless
arrival formalities. You will then be transferred to your hotel where you will be briefed
about your adventure safari. Depending on the time of arrival you are advised to have

Day 2: Entebbe> Jinja. After breakfast drive to the eastern part of the country and
through Mabira forest which extends more than 300km2, the it is primarily composed of
moist semi-deciduous forest in which more than 200 tree spp have been identified, continue
to Itanda falls, watch the real sparkling white water of the Nile as it forces its way through
the stones to the Mediterranean sea later drive to, Source of the Nile for a sunset cruise. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
Day 3: Full Day Rafting. After breakfast you will go for white water rafting, this is our most
popular adventure activity in Jinja and for good reason. With eight major rapids, including
two grade 5 rapids, this is easily one of the most fun stretches of river that you’ll ever raft.
Why? Because of its profile and its high volume, The Nile is a really safe river to raft on and
this means our guides can accommodate everyone’s wishes, from those wanting to go as
hard as possible, to those wanting to avoid swimming. Have a barbeque at the Nile before
returning to your lodge.
Day 4: Quad Biking. Start time every day between 8.15am and 4.45pm. We tailor our
safaris to suit each group. Easy trails make up the start of the trip and then we have the
option of more challenging and technical sections if suitable or your focus is more on
sightseeing and cultural aspects. We follow the Nile downstream from Bujagali Falls and
then away from the river banks, through farmland, forest and small villages in rural Uganda.
We stop at various viewpoints and points of interest. For the more adventurous we have a
trail ride down the steep banks to the water's edge below the Bujagali Dam. Along the
routes that we choose to give you the best possible safari, there are great photo
opportunities.
You have the opportunity for brief stops in some of the small villages and trading centres for
a chance to meet the people living in the area. Your guide(s) carry bottled water and money
to buy cold drinks at one of the Trading Centres that you will ride through.
