| Perched on a cliff overlooking the source of
the world's longest river, this is probably the most
spectacular camp in the dark continent. This is start point
for rafting trips on the legendary river and the home for
bungee jumping on the Nile.
Pitch a tent from as little as $5 per night, relax in the
bunks in our dormitories or treat yourself to a little more
comfort in our nicely appointed safari tents. The camp
boasts a nicely tiled ablution area, hot showers and a
well-stocked bar within roaring distance of the rapids on
the Nile. The Riverbase restaurant and bar is perched atop a
cliff over 30 metres above the river so don't drop your
glass! Enjoy a cold Nile Special in the bar while watching
the incredible water touches from the bungee tower.
Great value meals are served daily at the camp or you are
free to use our BBQs to cook
your own meals.
The Adrift
Riverbase boasts a swimming pool courtesy of Jinja Nile
Resort, which is only 5 minutes walk from the camp. Camp
residents can make use of the beautiful pool for a token
amount ($US6 per day) or treat themselves to a buffet
meal at the hotel.
