Superb bird life all around, particularly the kingfishers, heron and weavers. The night's camp as with all our night stops on the river, will be upon a sand bank, at a point accessible to our Land Rovers which carry all food and equipment. Four course evening meal, plenty of cold drinks and the evening around a camp fire. After a leisurely breakfast and having packed up and loaded the camp onto the Rovers, we continue down river. During the first kilometres or so we will recap on the previous afternoon's safety briefing and continue to practice the basic techniques of paddling the raft, ready for the class III white water sections soon to follow.
Crocodile are a certainty, hippo almost as certain.
IV white water proper, for about 6 km. Larger and more exciting than on the previous day. This superb section is followed by several sections of calm water interspersed with more, though shorter sections, of exciting class III white water. Day 4 Quite a short day on the river today, again with several sections of good class III rapids, with scenic calm water between. Arrive at the parking lot near Tsavo Safari Camp around 1100, and after an early lunch and having packed away the boats and river gear, we depart by road for Nairobi.
