East Africa's rivers have a rare combination of whitewater (up to grade 5) and rich scenic diversity. They also offer the opportunity to take in some game viewing and bird-watching on the way. Trips are usually designed so as to encourage the full participation of the guests, typically using Avon rubber dinghies which are equipped with optimum safety equipment and operated by qualified guides. Remember to take a change of clothes as you are guaranteed to get wet. You may also need to sign a disclaimer, so check before booking that you are covered by your insurance.
