Rafting the Nile and Kampala


Rafting with Nile River Explorers was fantastic. So much fun and, thankfully, no crocodiles.

Our campsite
Okay. No problem. Face your challenges head on.
Being agitated like a pair of jeans in a washing machine. Notice Jamie with blue helmet? Aimey is just to her right about to hit the water.
Oh crap. Where did Aimey go?
Two survivors! Whoo hoo!
Jamie and I on a rescue mission. Aimey was on the other side just coming up from under the raft.


So, things were all well and good and the team recovered nicely until rapid number two and....well....you get the picture:



Believe it or not, this was taken after being tossed around the Nile, during a lunch break on the river. (Notice dude in the middle: was hungover and spent the trip forgetting to paddle insync or hitting Aimey with his paddle.)
Enjoying a beer on the Nile


And over in Kampala...we stayed at a great hotel called Aponye.

This was the street our hotel was on. Amazing that a boda-boda could fit through, let alone a car.

  1. My dear Ann,
    This is incredible. I live in New York but my brother's just moved to Kigali and I feel that you have just given me a good picture of what to expect that is not the usual "non-credible" Expart bloging I read often. I will be travelling to Rwanda this year. Thanks.
