Explore the World’s Greatest River with Kayak the Nile

A trip to Jinja, Uganda, is not complete without the river Nile, and we believe that the best way to explore the world’s longest river is on the water itself.

Away from engines and noise – Kayak the Nile is passionate about this symbolic location and honoured to enable you to experience it.
