Quad Bike Riding is one of the thrilling activities to engage in while touring Jinja. Quad biking is organized in many parts of the country although it‘s not that well known like that in Jinja. To participate in quad biking, you must be 12 years and above. There is no limited number of participants who want to engage in the activity that can go up to four hours.
Exclusive Gorilla Journeys can arrange this activity for between one to four hours. Participants will be provided with guides, goggles and overalls. This activity starts with briefing and there are free training lessons at a particular circuit for about 30 minutes and the topics covered here are about how to manage the road, how to change gears, how to maintain stability, remain on track and how to look out for people crossing the road.
One does not need to have an experience with bikes to participate in quad biking. Participants are strongly warned about unnecessary competition and killing local animals. Depending on the results after training, a trip is designed looking on the ability of the rider. Bikers are then put into 3 categories namely expert riders, beginners and children Participants are then given either automatic or manual bikes.
The bikers are then given helmets and other safety equipment. Different routes are taken while coming and going back although all paths go through the countryside. During the stops along the Nile, there are women washing clothes, children swimming on the rapids with jerry cans.
The fee to pay to participate in quad biking is 50USD and 110USD depending on the routes to be taken and hours to spend. Bikers need light clothes such as tracksuits or leggings for the activity. You will be provided with overalls and gumboots to protect you against mud and watery roads.
The best time for quad biking in Jinja is in the rainy seasons that are October, November, April and May. The more the mad on ground the better the activity as sliding makes the activity more exciting. The drier months are dusty and it‘s always the worst experiences for bikers at the back of the group who may find themselves covered with dust on completion
