To the guys at adrift the ugandan boys say hi!! The rafting was great and the bungee was good aswell. The rooms were good and you guys looked after us well, however scott would disagree with having to pay even though he used the room as storage. Keep up the good work you guys!!!

I bungee jumped 44 meters over the Nile river. It was scarey but i did it! It was a bit pricey, $95. us. I have to say that I would most likely do it again!

A rafting trip on the Nile near Jinja, Uganda switches in mere moments from lazy relaxation on one of the world's most iconic rivers to crashing through class five rapids. I was part of a group of eight, with perhaps two or three of us using our paddles in any meaningful way. Compared with the 12 beefy guys from Turkey,... More

Very nice day and kind and prepared people. Good organization and funny day if I haven't so much fear! But this is my fault.

this place is off the Hook, and if you miss it then you miss the reason for being in Uganda.We stayed the night at the site and this was fantastic, to wake up the next morning next to the Nile then into the bus for a full days rafting. The guide was a great guy full of knowledge of the... More

I chose Adrift after reading some posts in TripAdvisor. It was really worth the visit. I took the 1-day white water rafting and it was amazing. The trip started with a 30 minutes bus ride to the start point, called Overtime. There, we had something to eat (egg and sausages). We had so much fun, our group was really nice... More

My two friends and I just finished up our study abroad in Tanzania and had heard about this program. Bungee jumping and rafting on the Nile for 200 bucks. Not too shabby. First off, great service. The shuttle picked us up from the bus stand in the early hours of the morning. They called bhodas bhodas (motorcycle taxis) for us... More

I love rafting and have gone on different rivers all over the US, so I was not going to miss the opportunity to raft the Nile. Me and some friends chose adrift and couldn't have been happier. They picked us up for free in Kampala, and dropped us off in Jinja because that's where we were staying, but you could... More
