We are happy to announce the dates of this years Festival. Now known as 'The Nile Kayaking Festival' it will be held on November 1,2,3.
This years event will be the last chance to compete down the famous Bujagali Falls and the Silverback section of white water before the completion of the Bujagali Dam project that will flood the section at some point next year.
We've changed the format this year from the previous few events and are going back to the competitions roots with a rolling rodeo competition that will see judges in rafts following competitors as they use 3 different wave features to score points.
We've scrapped the endurance race (thank God!) but kept the infamous 'Boda Boda X'.
A return this year too for Bujagai sprint races and a new addition will be raft racing over the same short course.
With this being the last chance to have races on Bujagali we're expecting big crowds, lots of competitors and an immense party. This is a way for us to say goodbye and thankyou to this section of river and we want everyone who can to come along and help us make this an event to remember!!
