We only planned to stay at NRE for 1 night to do the rafting, but then we saw the sunset cruise boat and had to stay another night. We are so glad we did! I thought the rafting was unbeatable but I found the cruise totally wicked on another level. Cruising around checking out the bird life and enjoying a... More

Nice view. Shame about the rest. The bar is extremely noisy, and the rooms are dirty. The communal accomodation toilets are also shared with the bar, in the morning vomit was all over the floor, and every toilet was blocked. The food was slow, the service was indifferent. The obnoxious alcohol fuelled men in this bar made it intimidating. I... More

I visited NRE last summer and stayed for around 2 months. I stayed on the campsite which is situated right on the banks of the Nile, the view from the bar was breathtaking. Accommodation is a mix of safari tents, bandas, or your own tent, the toilets and showers were in good nik and the staff were very friendly and... More

I visited Nile River Explorers as part of a ten day tour of Uganda. Naturally seeing the gorillas were worth the trip alone but relaxing at NRE at the end of that trek and the dreadful roads in Uganda made it all ok. After receiving a very warm African welcome we dropped our luggage into our spotlessly clean and comfortable... More

I've been visiting Nile River camp for three years and have rafted with NRE twice. I love staying in the tents overlooking the river, complete with bed and elec! to be woken up by fabulous birds and red tailed monkeys! such a relaxing place. It can get busy with Overlanders and there's usually a good party going on. There was... More

We had a great time with NRE and would definitely choose them again. Staff are professional and safety conscious but still up for a laugh and adventure. The day is very very well organised, breakfast all laid out for you, fresh pineapple and biscuits on the nile half way through the day and a lovely meal at the end of... More

For a first time, the experience was fab. For the price I paid, the trip exceeded my expectations. The staff were well trained, they made us have so much fun and I felt very safe.
