SUMMARY:Rafting trip
DESCRIPTION:“These are no ordinary white water rafting trips. In fact\, it is probably the best two days you’ll ever spend in Uganda. Bucket list material!” \nThe 2 days are filled with rafting action\, swimming\, river boarding\, SUPing\, sun and relaxation. The night is spent in tents on the banks of the river at our private spot on the banks of the Nile. The BBQ dinner is always a winner and the cold beers usually go down well with it! \nItinerary: \nDay 1: \n6.00 -6.30am – Kampala pick up for those who need transport. \n8am – meet at base in Jinja. Sign in. Breakfast. \n8.30 / 8.45am depart Jinja to River. \nDay 1 river section – Overtime to Nalubale Camp (After Itanda Falls). \nWe spend the day rafting and then pull into Superhole – taking lunch with us so we can spend the afternoon surfing.  We’ll give you a body board and fins and our expert crew will teach you the skills to get you surfing and cutting up the waves.  There might even be some SUPs available to play with on Superhole. After finishing the day rafting the Bad Place we’ll pull into camp around 4pm. \n4pm – 7pm.  Pull into camp – set up tents\, we provide snacks and plenty of cold beers – you guys relax while the staff get the food going and light the BBQ. \n7pm. Big BBQ dinner. \nAfter dinner we have our legendary ‘fines meeting’ around the fire before the local women’s group come and sing and dance for us! \nDay 2: \nWe’ll get you going with a big full fry up breakfast and some strong coffee before pushing to into the river and the Rapids of Day 2. \n3 big rapids back to back will get you going before a relaxed float and swim down to Nile Special. \nDepending on water levels we’ll stop at a bunch of different waves along the way and pull out the boards for more surfing. Then we’ll pull into the world famous Hairy Lemon Island for an explore and a beer. \nThe Shuttle will be heading back depending on your preference to Kampala or Jinja around 3pm.  \nKayakers: \nAlthough this is a rafting trip\, experienced kayakers are more than welcome to join the fun. Just one condition\, you need to be signed off by KTN or take a KTN instructor along with you. \n  \nPrices: \n\n$210 if you’re rafting (usually $255\, but Nalubale is offering MCU a great discount)\n$65 if you’re kayaking along\n\nWhat do you need to bring? \nMoney to pay in the morning.  Credit cards are accepted with a 5% surcharge. \nShorts / T-shirt or swimsuit for rafting in – quick-dry is best but not essential.  It is highly advisable to wear leggings or long shorts and a long sleeve shirt especially on Day 1. We will be in the sun and in the water for 4 or 5 hours and the sun is merciless.  If you get sunburnt on day 1 you will not enjoy day 2! Bring high factor sunscreen and make sure to put lots on! \nBring any personal medication\, asthma inhaler\, epic pen etc. \nOvernight gear.  Nalubale can provide tents and mattresses and blankets if needed.  Please bring your own camping gear if you have it\, then a change of clothes\, towel\, hoody or jacket. \nAny questions get in touch: \nNalubale: \nwww.nalubalerafting.com \nbookings@nalubalerafting.com \n+256 782 638 938 \nMCU: \nlaurabierer@gmail.com \nSign-up under https://goo.gl/forms/QTpQ6BeWeSNETJIz2
