Ewaso Ng'iro
Alt 900 - 750m.
When water levels are suitable, this river is without a doubt the best combined white-water river / scenic river expedition any of our guides have ever done. Like the Athi River, the minimum time required is 3 days, however because there are much longer and more difficult sections of white-water, a lesser distance is covered each day. We start from about 10km. west of Barsalinga and are able to raft for over 30km. on almost continuous class II, III and IV rapids, plus there are several rapids of class V.

This trip can also be extended, to cover a further 100km. of river. From our usual take out point near Kipsing, we can continue rafting eastwards, through Samburu National Park, to as far as Chandler Falls in Shaba National Park. It's a scenic river all the way, with plenty of game to be seen, particularly elephant and crocodile, we've even seen lion from the boats.

Mathioya
Alt 1,600 - 1,160m
Often combined with the Tana making it a 2 day trip based out of our Sagana site.

With a runable distance of about 30km. and with over 500m of descent, this river offers some of the most demanding and continuous White water to be found in Kenya. Because the Muthoya is a narrow, low volume river, the water is not particularly "big". However it is fast flowing and many of the rapids are technically very difficult. (class IV and V). There are numerous holes and hydraulics. Fallen trees are another potential hazard. Two short portages required. Descriptions of the rapids are not given so that clients can still be facing the unknown at each bend.
