If you're looking for a thrilling adventure, white water rafting on the Nile River is the way to go. This river's rapids are among the best in the world, and they will undoubtedly provide you with a thrilling ride. As a local, I've gone rafting several times, and it's always an incredible experience. Something about the rush of the water and the wind in your face makes you feel alive. What's more, the best part? You get to see some of Uganda's most beautiful landscapes while you're at it.

Gorilla trekking is one of the most interesting activities in Uganda.
