Summary:
My friends and I Total 4 People had an amazing weekend with NALUBALE RAFTING, and I cannot recommend them enough! From start to finish, we had an exceptional experience. The guides were professional, ensuring our safety was always a top priority. They were also incredibly friendly, and their hospitality was wonderful.
Originally, I told them we wouldn’t need breakfast or lunch, but they were so thoughtful and accommodating. Halfway through our journey, they surprised us with refreshing snacks—watermelon and pineapple—to keep our energy up, which we definitely didn’t expect! Even better, after finishing the rafting, they provided us with food and drinks, which was a much-needed treat after the adventure.
The entire team takes care of everything, making sure you have a great time. If you are considering rafting in the area, I highly recommend NALUBALE RAFTING for an unforgettable experience with a well-trained and friendly team.

Summary:
I would like to recommend the rafting company Nalubale. We spent five hours rafting on the Naile with them. A safety boat and three kayaks accompanied us.
The guides were friendly and professional. We received prior training and detailed explanations. There was a food break, and we were given sandwiches at the end.
In short, it was a perfect and professional experience.
thank you very much!
