Availability Dates: mid April to mid July, mid November to early January. The section of the Athi River that we run borders Tsavo National Park to the east. In many ways, this river is unique.
Of the wild-life, bush buck, giraffe, buffalo and elephant are among the most common animals seen. Crocodiles are a certainty, as are monkeys and baboons. The bird life along the river is of course spectacular and to date our guides have recorded over 120 different species.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Pick up in Nairobi and driven down to the start of the rafting venue near Yatta Gap Bridge (4hrs). Put in at the bridge, afternoon float trip for 10km down the river (4hrs). Mainly calm water. The night is spent on a suitable sand bank along the river.
Day 2: Early start, so as to be on the river for the best of the game viewing, (early morning and evening is when the animals mainly come down to drink); full day rafting, with numerous sections of class II and III white water plus two big drops of class IV. Lunch on one of the many small islands (30km). Arrive at camp – again a suitable sand bank, late afternoon.
Day 3: Very similar to day 2, but with some more exciting rapids and "jungle" to pass through (25km). Optional overnight or depart to Nairobi.

Airfare is not included in the tour price.
