Not a common sport in in Kenya but its popularity has steadily grown over the past ten years. Companies have come up dedicated to this thrill seeking adventure. Rivers like Athi have beautiful water rapids that are both easy to learn and enjoy. Tana River, the longest river in Kenya, also has very exciting rapids that are kayak able. In Sagana one can camp, rock climb, learn and kayak and even bunji jumping.
The Mathioya River will give experienced kayakers and rafters the ride of their life. Descending more than 450 meters in a matter of only 22 kilometers, it boasts a collection of the most technical rafting courses in Kenya. The water doesn’t prove especially big. But don’t let that fool you. Because of the river’s low volume and advanced rapids (up to grade 4), this is no place for beginners.
