Optional Activities
Quad bike
Quad biking is one of the most thrilling activity to engage in while on your adventurous trip in Uganda. The activity is a self-game viewing drive that can only be done in Lake Mburo National Park and Jinja town in Uganda. The motorbike is among the several outdoor sporting activities that Uganda as a country offers. Rates range from US$49 per person or an hour, long ride to US$ 195 per person or an 8 hour day.
Horse Ride
Horse riding is along the shores of River Nile in the communities and paths through farmlands. Horse riding in Jinja does not require skills and experience to participate in the activity since the Nile Horseback safari team first offers basics of skill training before starting the activity especially to first time riders such as how to control the horse according to your pace, the horses have been trained and they are always very sensitive of what you want them to do for safe and calm ride experience. Day rates range from US$40 per person for 1 hour to US$80 per person for 3 hours.
Fishing
You can enjoy a day out on the water with family and friends. Yellow fish, Nile perch and catfish are among the more alluring fish that inhabit the Nile. Fishing excursions can be arranged depending on your time schedule and the price ranges from US$60.
Kayaking
Kayaking is a more testing activity than rafting since it offers the opportunity to develop your own skills rather than bouncing along in a raft controlled by the professionals. It is a great way to experience the Nile and its surrounding areas of communities, local people, and exotic birds feeding on the fish.
Zipline
This adventurous activity gives you a golden opportunity to share the sky with the birds. An incredible moment that you would live to remember with great chances and possibilities to eye and touch the tallest tree branches. The activity can be done at Griffin falls found at the most famous Mabira forest. This experience and exploration during Zip lining makes you behave like monkeys.
Things to remember on your trip
- Rain jacket incase of weather change.
- Binoculars for the bird lovers.
- Insect repellent.
- Good zooming lens camera for photos.
