Nairobi National park and Nairobi full day Tour Excursion
The Tana River is a drop pool river offering and exciting day of white water rafting. The adventure starts with a 3 kilometer of easy class II and III white water, where plenty of opportunity to gain the practice of paddle skills required running the lower part of the river.
A 6 kilometer section follows with an hour or so of relaxation to view the abundance of bird life around. Cool off with a swim in the warm water.
The final 7 kilometer of river, back to the campsite starts with some easy class III waters where paddle commands are gone over again. It is now the 3 big rapids (class IV and V) with names like Captains Folly, Can of Worms because of its four 90 degree bends in succession, and sphincters Flexor. Subject to water levels, we may be able to “surf” in “fish eye” and then swim the next couple of minor rapids. Numerous smaller rapids brings one on to the last big one – Spasm, a series of drops over ¾ km section with a big surprise half way through.
We reach the campsite about 4 to 5 hours after setting off, where a full barbeque lunch awaits us. Soft drink Included. After lunch when everyone is ready we leave for Nairobi arriving late evening
