Summary: We chose the overnight rafting tour (1 day raft + 1 night at camp + 1 day nature raft/float) and the experience has been the best one of our whole trip. Communication was easy and the trip was very professionally set-up. While waters were wild and exiting, we felt we were in very capable hands with the team! Arriving at our camping spots with tents & campfire & cold drinks ready was a pleasure, and floating through the community and queen Elisabeth national park the next day was a really nice change of setting - would recommend even more if you like birdwatching! Really has been one of the main highlights of our 3-week trip so far. Tip, bring a sweater for the camp, we did spend a long time at the fire ;).

Summary: What a day! We loved our experience rafting/kayaking with the Sana team – it was thrilling, beautiful, and truly an unforgettable adventure. I'd do it all again, and I'd recommend it to anyone (local or tourist). What I appreciated most were the personal touches. They prepared a fantastic hot lunch for us and provided fresh fruit, took care to make sure that we were all prepared for the rapids, and helped us learn about the region.

Summary: The most incredible experience for a great price! You can really tell that the team really does this work with all of their hearts, they not only enjoy rafting and going down the rivers themselves but they genuine care that everyone is having a great time! Our group was 4 people between 21-23 years old and we absolutely loved this experience as well as the team that joined us! (Juma, Ash, John & Singa Singa)

Summary: The river and the surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous. The rafting itself is near nonstop action which is something that is hard to find elsewhere. Also, the scenery is just incredible. It's like a Disney jungle cruise but in real life. Sadat and his team are incredible professionals that make the scary looking rapids easily manageable. It's a thrilling trip down the river that is challenging enough to be action packed fun, but not too challenging to where you fall out or get hurt. We skipped a certain section of river because we wanted a gentler trip, but I'm sure more adventurous people would have a blast on that section. Sadat and his team are also extremely friendly, cool, guys that speak great English and are the kind of guys you want to hangout with for longer. They also took great photos of us. You can also bring your GoPro and they have a helmet that is compatible with GoPro. The local people were very friendly and waved to us as we floated by and it was cool to see their farms and communities up close the few times we passed them. It seems like this whole area is soon going to be transformed into an sportsmen's paradise so it was an incredible opportunity to do something before it becomes too popular although, I sincerely hope this becomes a top reason for visiting Uganda as it rightfully should be!

Summary: I don’t even know where to start with this review. We had an amazing time. It was such an incredibly cool experience. It was our highlight (yes even more than the gorillas). When looking into Uganda we found out about the rafting in Jinja. However we ended up with SANA and couldn’t have been happier. The crew Such a passionate crew. They all have dreams to go around the world rafting. You can really tell about their passion. They make you feel safe and we could really see that they know what they are doing. They also take you along telling about the river and the community. They are friendly and always smiling. Sadat and crew thank you so much again. Safety As a first time and second time rafting couple, we were amazed about how serious they take safety measures. They explain you how to react and what to do. We always felt safe, even with the rough river conditions. Two times we needed to walk because the water level was just too high. We didn’t mind at all, because safety first. Lunch Halfway you enjoy your lunch together with the crew. They prepare it themselves. It was very nice. And the fruits oh my oh my so sweet! Other They pick you up and bring you back. A big thank you for bringing us all the way to the car as it was pouring. And they did it out of themselves, that’s how they look at details. They take also pictures during the trip at no additional cost and share it within 24 hours, fantastic. 5 stars isn’t even enough. It’s an incredible experience. We have been traveling for almost 13 months now and it’s one of our highlights. Keep up the good job 👍 Tips for fellow travellers - Make sure to bring some dry clothes with you. - In case you want to do it in the rainy season, make a call to see if they are going on the river. - For the Dutchies they made it so easy to do the payment with Tikkie. - Smile for the pics.

Summary: Absolutely mind-blowing rafting trip down the Birira river! This adventure with Sana Gorilla Rafting was by far my favorite activity on my east Africa trip, even better than seeing the Gorillas and waaaaay better than the rafting I did in Jinja a few weeks ago! The scenery is gorgeous and prestige, going through thick forest and heeps of banana fields. The white water was soooo much fun and wild, but there was not one moment were I didn't feel absolutely safe through the extremely professional appearance of the team, with Sadat as the company owner, which is an awesome and very calm person, the guides steering the rafts, the safetykayaker always ready to pick someone up incase they would have been fallen out of the raft (which didn't even happened on the trip if been on) and even the driver being a mechanic! I am more than happy that I decided to participate in the rafting and can just highly recommend it to anyone who goes through western Uganda! Big thanks to the team, you will definitely see me again one day! Jannek

Summary: This is a must do for all adventurous travellers visiting Uganda. It’s a super unique way to discover the jungle, Sadat and his team further ensure that you’re very well taken care off and very safe. The lunch provided is also super tasty and at the end of the trip you get some awesome pictures of you rafting, so cool! The location of this activity is further super convenient to combine it with other highlights of Uganda, such as queen Elisabeth NP or the gorilla tracking! Big thanks to Sadat and his team for the unique experience!
