| Water Rafting |
|
If you are looking for adventure water rafting is the ideal activity for you. TANA RIVER IN THE SAGANA AREAThe Tana River is a drop pool river offering and exciting day of white water rafting. The adventure starts with a 3 km stretch of easy class II and III white water, where there is plenty of opportunity to practice the paddle skills required to run the lower part of the river. A 6 km section follows with an hour or so of relaxation to view the abundance of bird life around. Cool off with a swim in the warm water. The final 7 km of river, back to the campsite starts with some easy class III waters where paddle commands are gone over again. It is now time for the 3 big rapids (class IV and V) with names like Captains Folly, Can of Worms,(taking its name from its four 90 degree bends in succession) and Sphincter Flexor. Subject to water levels we may be able to do some surfing in “fish eye” and then swim the next couple of smaller rapids. Numerous smaller rapids brings one on to the last big one – Spasm, a series of drops over ¾ km with a big surprise half way through. We reach the take out point/campsite about 4 to 5 hours after setting off, where a full barbeque lunch awaits us. Plenty of beer and soft drink included ATHI RIVER (Mid April to Mid July, Mid November to early January)- 3 to 4 Days Athi River – the section of the Athi River that borders Tsavo national park to the east. In many ways, this river is unique. Wonderful scenery, a multitude of wild-life, hugely varied and spectacular bird-life, coupled with the best of medium grade white water river, makes for a truly unforgettable experience. Of the wild-life, bush buck, giraffe, buffalo and elephant are among the most common animals seen. Crocodiles are a certainty, as are monkeys and baboons. The bird life along the river is of course spectacular MATHIOYA RIVER With over 450m of descent in around 22km the Mathoya River offers some of the most technical water to be found in Kenya. A narrow, low volume river with rapids up to grade V. Previous experience is recommended. |
