White Water Rafting in Sagana

Tana River, Sagana Daily, by booking

Sagana, a couple of hours north of Nairobi, is Kenya's rafting base, where licensed operators run guided trips on the Tana River with helmets, life jackets and safety kayakers. Trips range from gentle family float sections with a few splashy rapids to full-day white water for teenagers and adults. The camps also run kayaking, cliff jumping, bungee and riverside camping, so it works well as an overnight adventure.

Good to know: Minimum ages vary by section and by river level — tell the operator your children's ages and ask for the family float.
