White Water Rafting Below Murchison Falls

Besides Jinja, the Victoria Nile can be rafted below Murchison Falls. The tariff lists a UWA fee for river activities. Operator fees for equipment, guides and safety are separate. See rafting in Jinja for comparison and Murchison Falls.

See the wider Uganda wildlife authority tariff guide for every fee, and the permit price notice for 2027 changes.

Fees and Rates

About these rates. UWA states that tariff fees are subject to change without prior notice. FNR = foreign non-resident, FR = foreign resident, ROA = rest of Africa, EAC = citizen of an East African Community member state (paid in UGX). Source: Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) Conservation Tariff July 2024 to June 2026 and UWA letter ref. TDO 93/04 dated 26 February 2026.

What to Expect

UWA notes that rafting at Murchison is restricted to professional rafters, excludes entrance fees and needs prior booking. Check your operator for the grade and age rules.

Planning Tips

• Rafting is not suited to people uncomfortable in fast water.

Where This Fits in a Uganda Itinerary

Murchison Falls National Park in north-western Uganda is where the Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge. Game drives, launch cruises and Nile activities make it a full wildlife destination.

It is best planned as a separate adventure day rather than squeezed between a launch cruise and a game drive. Whatever you choose, build days around travel time: driving distances between the parks are long, and early starts are normal on a Uganda safari. If you are comparing destinations, start with Uganda's national parks and our Uganda safaris and tours.
