What to expect on a Half Day River rafting?

You can expect introductory rapids, fast-flowing channels and weirs along your way. The half-day rafting trail is surrounded by working farms, granite rocks, lava deposits and reed beds along the banks of the river. Extraordinary Birdlife can be expected along this trip. Most common bird sightings will be Goliath Heron, Fish Eagles, Jackal Buzzards, Gymnogene, Cormorants, Egyptian geese, African black duck, weavers and some migrating birds.

A highlight on this half-day river rafting is rock jumping underneath the yellow cliffs. This is optional to those you seek a more adventurous approach. It is a great way to start your day.
