Kenya's rivers offer a great experience for rafting that will make anyone come back for more. You get to see the scenic views, the birds and forests from the river. The shortest rafting program ranges anywhere around four hours and sometimes you can do this for 7 days following the flow of the river. Rafting in Kenya is mostly done by corporate during their team building and other guests and locals. You do not need to have great paddling skills because there are many opportunities to learn. There are major and minor rapids that guests can indulge in. You can get minor drops that are about three quarters of a kilometer in total. Most of these rafting sessions are arranged by the hotels but there are also various associations which can do that for you.
Rafting is done mostly in the River Tana which is about 95 kilometers from Nairobi. The white water rafting in Kenya is fast catching on with the locals as well as visitors as a great way to have an adventurous time with your peers.
Rafting is possible on the Tana and Athi rivers. Savage Wilderness Safaris organise rafting trips (020 712590)
