Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect the River
The Nile is sacred in many cultures along its length. Ugandans have a deep connection to the river — it provides fish, water, transport, and hydroelectric power. Treat it with respect and do not litter.
Local Guides
The Ugandan rafting guides are among the best in the world — many have been running these rapids for over a decade. They are skilled, funny, and dedicated to your safety. Tip them well and respect their instructions absolutely.
Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Nile Rafting travel guide.
