Navigating the White Nile or the source of the Nile, in Uganda, is a once in a lifetime experience. The Ugandan government has every intention of constructing a hydroelectric dam at the Bujugali Falls to provide power to the country, as their frequent power interruptions can last a whole day. In a few years the exciting rapids will just be a memory.
We would raft rapids labeled as “the bad place”, “overtime” and more. The day trip is a 30 km stretch of world-class white water rapids, mostly grades 4 & 5. I was in for a turbulent ride! But hey! How often do you get to raft the longest river on earth? The White Nile is a beautiful stretch of river with abundant bird life and rich, green-forested banks. While the whole experience gives you an adrenalin rush, strangely, a calm assurance sort of settles in because well, wasn’t I rafting with some of the best river guides in the world?
