Kingo Adventurers · Adventure
Wild trails.
White water.
A seven-day Ugandan adventure designed for travellers who want more than sightseeing — combining active hiking, beautiful landscapes and the exhilaration of white-water rafting on the Nile.
An adventure with two rhythms
From mountain trails to white water.
This journey brings together two of Uganda's most rewarding adventure experiences: exploring the country's trails and landscapes on foot, then trading solid ground for the rushing waters of the mighty Nile.
It is designed for active travellers who want a varied experience rather than a conventional safari — with time to hike, explore, relax and enjoy the landscapes between each adventure.
Your journey is private and flexible, with comfortable mid-range accommodation, 4×4 transport and experienced local guides helping you make the most of every day.
