Explore the beautiful calm waters of the River Nile with an experienced and professional guide.

Starting from the Nile River Explorers Campsite on the picturesque River Nile, you’ll push out onto the water aboard one of our stable and easy to steer sit-on-top kayaks.

​

Your guide will introduce you to the river and the various bird species that live amongst the islands and along the riverbank. A local to the area, your guide will happily answer your questions about the lake and the local area.

​

You can expect to see many species of birds while out on the lake, pied kingfishers often hover above us, while cormorants dive beneath you. With no engine noise, you are be able to get up closer to the river’s inhabitants than any other means. There are around 20 bird species which have daily sightings here and plenty of others that visit the area. The lucky few may see the African Fish Eagles hunting directly overhead or, especially if birds aren’t your thing, the freshwater Otters that live nearby playing in the water and on the rocks.

​

At the halfway point on your tour, you’ll refuel with cold sodas, beers or a gin and tonic or two before heading back downstream between a new set of islands, taking the time to watch the world go by or to see the orange sun drift towards the horizon as you go.

​

This is a very relaxed way to experience the Nile, hopefully a pace that suits you.
