Ethiopia Whitewater Rafting Trips
Ethiopia is a fascinating country on Africa’s eastern Coast. Never
under formal colonial control, its history stretches back to the time
of Abyssinian Princesses and ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. Its vibrant
culture and beautiful scenery provides an intriguing and unique
backdrop to Ethiopia river rafting trips.
Blue Nile River Rafting Trips
Blue Nile River trips range from gentle float trips to exciting and
challenging whitewater adventures.
Blue Nile Whitewater Adventures
Whether you are a first time rafter or extreme whitewater veteran
looking for something new, you will find it all on Ethiopia's Blue
Nile. The relatively unexplored section of the Blue Nile River between
Lake Tana and the Blue Nile Falls has everything from beautiful calm
water floats to screaming Class V whitewater. There is excellent
access to the river throughout, allowing for a variety of possible
trips. At Nile River Safaris we offer 1/2 day to 4 day trips, with
mellow to extreme whitewater, overnighting in cute local Inns or
comfortably camping along the river.

The Omo River Canyon remains one of the wildest, one of the most
remote, and one of the most scenic places on Earth. Having been
explored by only few western visitors, the Omo offers the greatest in
all aspects of adventure: challenging terrain, exotic wildlife,
extraordinary culture, and breathtaking scenery.
Trickling off remote portions of the Shewan highlands in northern
Ethiopia, the Omo gains momentum from five major tributaries over its
course, dropping more than six thousand feet in just under five
hundred miles. Streaming through deep, forested gorges over the most
desolate course in the world, tribal members said to have descended
directly from the earliest homo sapiens to walk the planet - and still
virtually unknown to the modern world - subsist off the river's
abundance of flora and fauna.
