Bungee Jumping
Bunjee Jumping
Tripcare adventures will organize for you a high bungee jump at Bujagali falls on river Nile. This is the only spot for bungee jumping in the whole of East Africa. You will leap out over the Nile from a tower purpose-built for bungee jumping constructed and operated to the highest new Zealand standards. The bar provides a great vintage point for spectators and a source of calming fluids to help prepare for a jump.
Nile River White Water Rafting & Bungee Jump. Leap over the source of the Nile from one of the most spectacular bungee jumping sites in the world. We specialize in tandem jumps, water touches, and full-moon Jumps. Bungy jumps can be organized at most times (including in the dark)
Your jump includes: Award-winning river crew, by far the most experienced on the continent Nile High Bungee Prices. Nile High Bungee Details
Nile High Bungee is one of the most spectacular sights you can imagine. The views from the bungee tower are sensational and when the tower is not in use for jumping a troop of Vervet monkeys stand guard against the Nile.
The views over the source of the world’s longest river lead you to dozens of heavily forested islands with flocks of long-tailed cormorants swimming in the swirling currents below and crowds of onlookers cheering from the nearby bar. Nile High is 44m above the inviting waters of the Victorian Source of the Nile and this gives jumpers the opportunity to water touch – a single splash in the river on the first bounce, and you can do it with a friend!
The tower can jump 235kgs at once so you can choose a big friend, a bicycle, chair, kayak or just about anything you can imagine. By far the most popular way to jump is using the ankle tie but there is the option of a full-body harness as well. This means you can somersault from the edge or choose any form of freestyle that will give you the best bragging rights in the photographs
We feel strongly that the key to providing the best experience is to effectively combine perceived risk with integral safety and we achieve this by making sure we have the best crew, training, equipment, and procedures in place to ensure the experience is as safe and fun as possible.
The company we partner with has in place a number of checks and balances, including very thorough and comprehensive task analysis and inspection routes which ensure we are operating at or above the very high standards that have been set elsewhere in the world.
Nile High Bungee tower operates to the most exacting standards set by law in Australia/New Zealand Standard™ Code of Practise for bungee jumping. Commercial bungee jumping originated in New Zealand and advice was sought from the construction, adventure tourism, and alpine industries. The standard is reviewed bi-annually and is altered or updated as new innovations or situations arise.
Every item of operational equipment gets extensively tested and then assigned an appropriate working life span; calculated as the expected length of time, or amount of use, the equipment can withstand before its performance is likely to be degraded to the point where it is only three times stronger than the expected working safety load.
The equipment in use is recorded by staff as it takes place and then compared to recommended times and instances.
Our adherence to this code is entirely voluntary. The company self-governs its policies and procedures and provides an avenue where any staff member can take safety issues to the right people and ensure that the situation is solved to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The Nile High Bungee cords are made of pure white latex rubber which is of the highest quality and used by the best underwear manufacturers in the world. When you really need support, be it for your underwear or while dangling over the Nile, this is the best material available. During each jump, the cords stretch to approximately four times it’s resting length and gently slows the jumper down at the bottom of the trajectory.
Do I have to touch the water?
It is an option to touch the source of the Nile and you can choose whether you would like to stop short of this or take the plunge. Imagine being able to say that you jumped for 44 meters for your first touch of the world’s longest river.
