The Tana River is a drop pool river, where an exhilarating rafting adventure takes you through, from easy class II and III white water, through to big rapids at the end (class IV and V). Views of the abundant bird life make the experience very special. Cool off afterwards with a swim in the warm water and then a barbeque and drinks afterwards.
