After traveling to Uganda two years ago I told myself that I wouldn’t go back until the water had come back up to it’s normal high levels. That day came sooner than I expected as I found myself back on the Nile over the last month and the water level wouldn’t disappoint.

The Nile’s world class big water, warm climate and top notch play have made it one of the worlds most popular international paddling destinations in the past few years. With dam construction going forward that will flood the day one section time is limited to enjoy many of the back channels and rapids that make up a big part of this river. If you haven’t heard about the Nile check out one of the hundreds of posts people have put on their blogs, websites etc. In the mean time enjoy some photos from the day two section of the river which will remain intact once the dam is complete.
