Horse Back riding
Riding a horse is a rare hobby in Uganda. Touring a national park or a rural community on horseback is a one-of-a-kind and unforgettable way to explore Africa’s animals and sceneries. Only Jinja town can compete with Mihingo safari resort in Lake Mburo National Park for the greatest horseback riding experience. Whereas horseback safaris in Lake Mburo allow visitors to get up and personal with the park’s animals, the Jinja arrangement is designed to give visitors a taste of African village life while admiring the panoramic views of the Nile and tea gardens.
Nile horseback Safaris is the major horseback safari business in Jinja.. Their horses are well-experienced and schooled, and they understand what is expected of them. Each horse is equipped with a mounting block, saddlebags, and a rain jacket, which come in helpful during the rainy season.
Typically, two guides are present: one leads the riders and the other follows to ensure that no one encounters any issues. The rides last 1 to 3 hours in the morning, afternoon, and at dusk. The overnight trip is only for experienced cyclists because it is more rigorous and travels over difficult terrain.
The corporations set a weight limit to avoid overworking the horses. Riders cannot weigh more than 90 kg. Those with no riding experience need not be concerned because the majority of participants are first-time riders. Before the action begins, inexperienced riders are taught how to handle a horse. If there is a big group of riders with varying skill levels, the group will start at the same pace and then split at some point to allow the more skilled riders to move ahead. The horseback riding companies save certain horses for children. When children ride a pony, a guide keeps a careful eye on them.
Rafting
A day of rafting begins with an early morning breakfast before being taken to the river’s banks. All participants must leave valuables and dry clothes in the vehicle or with staff. The teams are instructed on safety and what to anticipate. The introduction is overseen by guides who are quite informed about the region and rapids. They go through every area of safety to guarantee that all rafters have the greatest experience possible. Other subjects discussed include how to grab the rope for safety, how to paddle, and how to properly exit the raft.
If participants tip out of the raft, they are instructed to stay as cool as possible. Always bring extra underwear and dry clothing when traveling. Choose clothing that dry quickly because you will get in and out of the water frequently. Individuals are given the option of taking an easy or challenging path before the activity begins. Those who aren’t prepared for Grade 4 and 5 rafting might choose Grade 3 rafting. Families can choose a calmer family float excursion that allows them to appreciate the river while avoiding the big rapids. All participants must sign a paper detailing any medical conditions.
You cannot go rafting if you have hypertension or anemia. The activity can begin once the orientation is completed and the helmets and life jackets are distributed. The first mile or two allows the guides to adequately prepare all participants before the rapids get bigger and more magnificent downstream. When you approach the next rapid, the guides organize for a vote on whether to take the simple path (edges) or the difficult route (middle). If the majority chooses the difficult path, there is little you can do but get ready for the challenge. The experienced rafters are escorted to the most rigorous portion of the currents and allowed to tip over.
If the team leader is leading a group of novice people, he or she will approach each rapid at the easiest point so that they do not tip. If the novice party comes upon a major rapid, they exit their rafts and walk around it. Each rapid provides a unique experience that is largely dependent on how the lead guide navigates.
Bungee Jumping
Bungee jumping is one of the most insane things you will ever do. It entails jumping from a 44-meter-high tower into the Nile, with a rope wrapped around the ankles. Bungee jumping is popular all around the world, but we’re talking about doing it over the world’s longest river. One gets a bird’s eye perspective of the countryside below when they leap from the higher platform. This is not an exercise for the faint of heart; it takes little more than 2 minutes, but the memory will last a lifetime. The Bungee jumping spot in Jinja is perhaps Africa’s greatest and most exhilarating. The jumps are held both during the day and at night. The crew has received multiple international honors for arranging the activity to the best standards imaginable. Bungee jumping costs $115 for 1 person in Jinja.
Visiting the source of the Nile
As previously stated, the Nile is the world’s longest river. It runs from Uganda all the way to the Mediterranean Sea, passing through South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, and eventually Egypt. Tourists can go by speed boat to the point when the river begins its voyage to the sea. In 1858, John Speke became the first European to find the Nile’s source. The place where Speke initially discovered the source has been transformed into a park with lovely gardens ideal for relaxing and seeing the Nile. It is one of Uganda’s most popular tourist destinations. To go to the actual location of the Nile’s source, one must use a boat.
