Rafting or white water rafting is a challenging recreational activity using an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water. This is usually done on white water different degrees of rough water, in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers. Rafting in Kenya has been going for over 20 years and has some of the best rafting on the continent. The rivers in Kenya have varying degrees of difficulty, but whichever you choose, you'll have an adventure you'll never forget!

The Tana River is a pool river offering an exciting day of white water rafting. The adrenaline adventure starts with a 3 kilometer of basic class II and III white water where plenty of opportunity to gain the practice of paddle skills require running the lower part of the river.

A 6 kilometer section follows with an hour or so of relaxation to view the abundance of bird life around. Cool off with an optional swim in the warm water.

The final 7 kilometer of Tana river back to the campsite starts with some easy class III waters where paddle commands relinquished again. It is now the 3 big rapids (class IV and V) with names like Captains Folly, Can of Worms because of its four 90 degree bends in succession, and Sphincter Flexor.

Subject to water levels, you may be able to "surf" in "fish eye" and then swim the next couple of minor rapids. Numerous smaller rapids brings one on to the last big one – Spasm, a series of drops over three quarters km section with a big surprise half way through.

We reach the campsite about 4 to 5 hours after setting off, where a full barbeque lunch awaits us. Plenty of beer and soft drink Included. After lunch when everyone is ready we leave for Nairobi arriving late in the afternoon.
