ADVENTURE WHITE WATER RAFTING |
The Athi River
Itinerary
If you like multi-day expedition style trips then the Athi
is for you! Flowing through Tsavo National Park, we raft
up to 80km’s of Kenya’s second longest river
with three days and three nights on the river. The river
gives an awesome mixture of relaxing calm water with game
viewing (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, crocodile and hippo have
all been seen from our boats) and abundant birdlife interspersed
with some great whitewater (up to grade IV). The trip usually
goes out fully self supported with our guides providing
breakfast (full cooked or cereals/fruit/toast), lunch (a
selection of cold meats and cheeses with bread/salad and
fruit) and dinner (three courses). If a more luxury trip
is your style then vehicle support (at an extra cost) is
available to bring those added necessities
Full Itenerary
Day one: see’s
you putting onto the Athi at Kibwezi, a short drive from
the Mombasa road. After our comprehensive safety briefing,
you will set out in the afternoon to raft the short distance
to our first camp, ‘Bushwhacker’s’. Set
on a secluded sandbar mid river. The first night is spent
round the campfire listening to the sounds of Africa and
swapping stories with the guides about the days ahead.
Day two:
after breakfast and an early start you will soon reach our
first major rapid followed by a few calm sections interspersed
with smaller rapids down to our lunch spot. This is followed
by more rapids and flat open plains where hopefully you
will see some of the animals native to this area. Late afternoon
see’s us arrive at our second camp ‘scorpion’
on the relatively unpopulated left bank of the river.
Day three has some of the
best rapids with the legendary ‘Vietnam’ taking
you through dense undergrowth and ‘crocodile burn
up’ providing an awesome hit. After another fun packed
day you will arrive at our final camp, ‘Hippo’,
where you will spend a final night by the fire relaxing
and re living the previous day’s action.
Day four:
we return to Nairobi by around lunchtime.
What to Bring:-
Clothes you do not mind getting wet i.e. T Shirts, shorts
or long sleeved shirt and trousers (especially for those
who burn easily) and shoes that will not come off.
All trips depart from the Norfolk Hotel at 0800 hrs. Prices
are shown in US Dollars and are inclusive of transport,
accommodation and food. Soft drinks and beers are included
in the price.
The prices are for a basic trip, where, because of the space
constraints of the boats accommodation is in small 2 man
tents, using sleeping bags and thin mattresses. Client participation
in setting up camp and food preparation may be requested.
