COUNTRY: Kenya 

DURATION:03 Nights / 04 Days


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.

Day 1: Kibwezi - Athi River

We will depart early morning at 7am to 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, L,D.

Day 2: Athi River Rafting

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, B,L,D.

Day 3: Athi River Rafting

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.
