Adrift have developed a number of innovative, powerful and exciting teambuilding programmes that range in length from 2 hours to 11 days. We have delivered programmes to many of East Africa’s leading corporate organisations and do so on a regular basis. Each programme is developed be-spoke to meet the needs of each client and many are run for NGOs as well.
Teambuilding programmes usually include a series of physical tasks designed to test the various aspects of teamwork. These are followed by expert facilitation. The entire programme is delivered in a fun environment with very productive results.

Adrift raft every day, year-round based on a minimum of 6 people. Many people join on their own
- What should we wear?
Remember that you will probably be in the sun most of the day. Bring a T-shirt, swim suit, board shorts and waterproof sunscreen for wear on the river (you will not need shoes or sandals). The water temperature is 27°C (49°F) all year round! For the end of the day, pack a towel, change of clothes and warm top.
- What about the Bujagali Dam, won’t this be the end of rafting?
No. The Bujagali Dam [13] is currently under construction and will affect the rafting from mid 2010. However, many of the best rapids on the Nile will remain unaffected and our new rafting
trips will start further downstream at that time.
