Imagine a place that always has good water levels to paddle. A place where you can wear short sleeves or go skin to surf. A place where you can do pretty much everything park-and-play. A place that offers every level of difficulty, from amazing Class I–II sections through Class III–IV rapids to serious big water Class V that makes the Zambezi feel small in comparison. A place where you can eat fresh, sweet bananas with that magical taste found only there, avocados as big as your helmet, and the sweetest, juiciest pineapples you can imagine. A place with 10 world-class waves working at different water levels, with always something to surf. Now, wrap it all in legendary Rolex, a chapati rolled with egg, a local signature move, and you have the recipe for a kayaker’s dream land!
This and much more is waiting for you in Uganda. A forgotten paradise, waiting to be rediscovered by the kayaking community. Oh, and did I mention you can fly there for a couple of hundred bucks return, rent all your equipment on arrival, and live well for very little?
