Outdoor Adventure in Kirinyaga

Savage Wilderness White Water Rafting, Sagana

Begun in 1990 as Kenya’s premier river rafting company, Savage Wilderness is renowned for its thrilling outdoor activities, eco-adventures, and team-building experiences, making it one of Kenya’s top destinations for adrenaline junkies and nature lovers. Its biggest trump-card, by far, is the thrilling kayaking circuit which goes over multiple rapids and a 6-ms waterfall. Then, there’s the zip line, rock climbing, mountain-biking, walking trails, bungee jumping, archery range, and a splendid campsite. Savage Wilderness is patronized by an international team of adventure experts who are adeptly trained to provide the best safety standards.

Nestled alongside the scenic river, Savage Wilderness boasts beautiful natural surroundings, including riverine forests, waterfalls, and serene landscapes. The zip line runs across the river, offering a unique way to enjoy the surrounding views as you glide above the water. The main center offers kayaking lessons on flat water for beginners and advanced courses for seasoned paddlers. For thrill-seekers, there is a 60-foot bungee jump into the river gorge, providing an adrenaline rush like no other. It’s a memorable jump! The surrounding cliffs and rock faces allow for guided rock climbing and abseiling activities under professional supervision.

Guests can camp along the riverbank in designated camping areas. Other living options include; dormitories, self-contained cottages, and safari tents for those who prefer more comfort. There’s an on-site restaurant providing meals, snacks, and drinks – make advance notice. Visitors can also opt for barbecue setups by the river. Bushcraft activities teach survival skills, including fire-making, shelter building and navigation. The center has trails for mountain biking through the scenic landscapes of Sagana and the neighboring areas. All activities are guided by highly trained and certified instructors, ensuring safety standards are met.

Thanks to its diverse landscape, Kenya offers a wide range of outdoor adventures. Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak, offers various climbing routes. Experience a unique perspective of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes with a hot air balloon safari over Masai Mara. At the coast, enjoy activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, kite surfing, and boat tours to explore coral reefs and marine life.
