2 Day Kenya White Water Rafting Safari on Tana River

Rafting on River Tana is a very interesting activity that normally depends on the water levels. You may be able to navigate through the class II, III, IV and V river sections until you finally reach the calmly flowing waters where you will get a chance to watching various bird species and also other wildlife.

When the level of the river is low, you may navigate for only 8 km but when the river level is high, you may tour a stretch of over 16 kilometers. rafting is conducted in two sessions each day one beginning in the morning at 9:00 am and the other in the afternoon starting at 2pm for roughly 3 to 4 hours. At least four attendants will be able to handle a group of sixty people at a time. Safari Desire will arrange for your transportation from Nairobi to river Tana and still back to the city at the end of the adventure. All boats will have qualified professional guides who will guide and show you the ropes of the boat, provide the necessary rafting equipment including life jackets.
