Here’s a short video from my time in Kenya.

The River Tana section in this video is a 2 hour drive from Kenya’s capital of Nairobi and is where I was based for the summer of 2016 on it’s banks at Savage Wilderness Camp. Savage Wilderness Camp is a great place to base yourself for a range of activities but for kayaking it is a gem with expertise from local and company director James Savage you’ll find enough rivers to satisfy your needs for a lifetime.

The GoPro footage above which was unfortunately cut short due to some aging GoPro Hero 2 batteries capture’s only part of the Upper Tana missing out key parts such as the mission waterfall and some great slides! If you want some more complete footage of the river you should check out Glenn Richards YouTube channel where he has various video of the River Tana and other great rivers in the area.

If you’re looking for a taste of kayaking overseas I can’t recommend Kenya enough it has a great selection of rivers, great people and great weather you won’t be disappointed.
