To quote Sam Ward who owns Nile
based 'Love it Live it' and ‘Kayak the
Nile, with his fiance Emily Wall –
“It is a dam shame”.
The Silverback section was an
excellent section of whitewater. But
that shouldn’t put you off! The white
water on the Nile is still world class,
and the 'day 2' section should not be
overlooked!
Uganda itself does have so much
more to offer too. Check out this link
below to see what a couple of UK
based boaters are up to in an effort
to improve the reputation of
Uganda, and sell the country they
love as a tourist destination.

section's climax, and reason it got its
name – the Silverback rapid.
