Tana River
Just 95 kilometer from Nairobi, the Tana River offers an exciting day of whitewater thrills.Depart from Nairobi early in the morning for an hour and a half drive to Sagana rafting site where you are welcomed with tea/coffee and snacks on arrival. After the refreshments you are given a safety briefing then transported up the river to the put in point.Life jackets,helmets and a paddle are provided.
The adventurous rafting takes from four to five hours depending on water levels.The adventure starts with 3 kilometer of easy class II & III white-water where there is plenty of opportunity to gain and practice the paddle skills required to run the lower part of the river. A 6 kilometer section follows,and now guests have an hour or more to relax, view the abundance of birdlife around, and cool off with a swim in the warm waters or just work on your sun tan.The final 7 kms of river back to the take aout point starts with some easy class III waters where you go over paddle commands again.
Numerous smaller rapids bring one to the last of the big ones – spasm,a series of drops over a 3/4 km section with a big surprise half way through.You reach the take out point/campsite about 4 to 5 hours after setting off, where a full barbequed lunch awaits with plenty of drinks
