Kenya, April 23 -- Located by the Sagana River in Murang'a County, about 106 km from Nairobi, Rapids Camp Sagana is a great place for adventure lovers and nature fans.
Known as "The Adrenaline Camp", this eco-friendly spot combines exciting outdoor activities, beautiful views, and modern comforts, making it perfect for families, friends, and work groups.
Rapids Camp Sagana is famous for white-water rafting, which attracts many thrill-seekers from Kenya and beyond. The camp has a 450-metre stretch along the Sagana River, with grade 5 rapids and the largest waterfall in Kenya.
Guided rafting trips go through natural slides, steep cliffs, and exciting rapids, providing an incredible adrenaline rush.
The best time to go rafting is during the rainy seasons in April to May and October to November, when the river is strongest.
Besides rafting, there are many other fun activities. You can try bungee jumping from a 60-metre tower on the Tana River for a thrilling experience or enjoy kayaking, rock climbing, and river trekking, suitable for all skill levels.
If you prefer quieter activities, there's bird watching, fishing, and stargazing, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of nature. The camp also has well-kept lawns and safe rock areas, making it ideal for team-building exercises, picnics, and barbecues.
Rapids Camp combines excitement with comfort, offering various accommodation options, including cozy safari tents and dome tents for those who love stargazing.
Guests can eat at the onsite restaurant, which serves continental and English breakfasts, plus African dishes upon request. You can also cook your meals, with kitchen equipment available for hire.
The camp uses treated water from the Tana River to ensure sustainability. While alcohol isn't sold on-site, guests can bring their own and pay a small fee for corkage.
The camp has modern facilities, including eight outdoor dining areas with thatched roofing, accommodating groups from 15 to 120 people. You can enjoy meals while listening to the sound of the Sagana River's big waterfall, creating a calm yet exciting experience.
Rapids Camp is found on Makutano Sagana Road in Riandira and is easy to get to from Nairobi by the Thika Super Highway, which takes about 2.5 hours.
