Additional Information

Jinja has become East Africa's adventure activity destination, and the white-water rafting down the "Mighty White Nile" possibly outranks the Zambezi as Africa's wettest & wildest ride. You can dunk yourself in the river off the "Nile-High" Bungy or enjoy a quad-biking tour through remote villages along the banks of the river that are inaccessible by road. Take a horse-back ride through the riparian forests of the east bank, or head out onto the river with a rod and reel and fish as the locals do…

Spend a day with the Soft Power Community Project, an excellent local education-based project supported by Face Africa. This is your chance to give something back and previous clients have spent days, weeks and even months helping out at the local primary and pre-primary schools - painting classrooms, building playgrounds, digging trenches, and more besides…

Or why not just sit on your veranda, put your feet up with a cold drink, and listen to the calming rhythms of the river as it flows gently by… Work? What's work…
