River Rafting & Tubing · Kayaking & Canoeing · Waterfalls
A land of rivers, waterfalls, and mountains, the Eastern Region has a reputation as the thrill-seekers' capital of Uganda. Adrenaline junkies seeking extreme water activities will have plenty to fill an Eastern Region itinerary, with kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding all on tap. Witness the source of the Nile, and take a guided tour to learn about the river system and its flow into Lake Victoria. Outdoor activities for less adventure-inclined visitors include wildlife viewing, hikes, camping, and relaxing in the Eastern Region's pristine nature. Plan how to spend your time in Eastern Region and other destinations in Uganda using our Uganda trip planning website.
