This is the ideal one day white water river trip for families with children as young as eight and those who want to experience white water rafting on the Nile without the intensity of grade 5 rapids.

Warm water, safe pools to swim, islands full of birds and fisherman in dugouts combine with fun and white water adventure to make this the perfect family and friends day out on the Nile.
 
The grade 3 rapids are fun without being overwhelming so there’s plenty of white water action, but also time to sit back, relax and enjoy your surrounds and have the occasional water fight.

As the river meanders through beautiful scenery, we guide the rafts through of some of the most fun and safest white water in the world. Together with these fun rapids you’ll get the chance to riverboard superhole; all selected to maximize your safety.
 
If at anytime you feel you would prefer to join the safety boat or where possible, walk around a rapid and then rejoin the raft, this is absolutely fine. Calm stretches of water separate the rapids – perfect for getting your breath back, taking a swim and enjoying the scenery.
 
At midday day we pull over at our floating double story platform for a delicious freshly made sub. Shredded beef, chicken, cheese, avocado, tomato, humus and pickles make up some of the fillings. Once you have eaten your fill and sated your thirst we head off to Superhole.
