What is the best time of year for white water rafting in Kenya?
The best time for white water rafting on the Tana River in Kenya largely depends on the water levels, which are influenced by rainfall.

However, rafting is generally possible year-round, with varying degrees of intensity. Get2gether monitors river conditions closely to provide the optimal experience, so it's always best to check with us for the most current recommendations for your white water rafting weekend.
What should I bring with me?
For your white water rafting weekend, we recommend wearing swimwear under quick-drying clothes (shorts and t-shirt).

A change of clothes and a towel for after the trip are essential. Get2gether provides all necessary safety equipment, including life jackets and helmets.
