Trip Summary

The White Nile is one of the best places in the world to learn to kayak. Imagine living on a tropical island, surrounded by countless easy channels and flows, colourful wildlife, warm water with a relaxed lifestyle. Add to these factors constructive coaching from some of the Nile's most experienced instructors who are aiming their coaching directly at your needs as an individual and you have the recipe for an amazing experience.

The trip aims to start from the absolute basics, teaching the essential flat water and moving water skills. For those with some prior experience we will focus on consolidating skills and ironing out bad habits. As you gain a better understanding of white water and your skills improve we gradually progress onto more advanced sections of moving water and look at more dynamic skills in a moving water environment.

The LiLi guides are highly experienced and qualified instructors who have thousands of hours of coaching on this river alone. We will use this local knowledge and experience to tailor the trip to your needs and maximise your progression and enjoyment.

This trip is not just about kayaking. For every trip we sell we donate 1% towards Soft Power Health, an organisation set up by Jessie Stone (doctor and pro kayaker) to educate and support local communities on health issues. We will get an opportunity to see this in action and get involved for a day to see where your money is going.
