Itinerary:
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the Norfolk Hotel pick up point to depart at 0800 hrs for Water rafting. It is an hour and a half drive to a campsite near Sagana. On arrival you are offered tea or coffee with biscuits. After the refreshments you will be given a safety briefing then transported up the river to the put in point. You will be provided with life jackets, helmets and a paddle.
The trip will take from four to five hours depending on the water levels. Note you may be put in at different points depending again on water levels.
Brief description on the full rafting trip.
"The Tana River is a drop pool river offering and exciting day of white water rafting. The adventure starts with a 3 km of easy class II and III white water, where plenty of opportunity to gain the practise of paddle skills required to run the lower part of the river. A 6 km section follows with an hour or so of relaxation to view the abundance of bird life around.
Cool off with a swim in the warm water. The final 7 km of river, back to the campsite starts with some easy class III waters where paddle commands are gone over 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 we 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 ¾ km section with a big surprise half way through.
We reach the take out point/campsite about 4 to 5 hours after setting off, where a full barbeque lunch awaits us. Plenty of soft drink included. ”
You depart after lunch for Nairobi arriving back where we picked you up from before dark usually by 1800hrs.
What to Bring-
Clothes you do not mind getting wet i.e. T Shirts, shorts or long sleeved shirt and trousers (especially for those who burn easily) and shoes that will not come off.
On return you will be dropped at the Norfork Hotel, then transferred to Nairobi Intercontinental hotel for overnight stay.
