How is Bungee Jumping in Uganda done?

Participants are tied in two different ways – There is the ankle tie with your face looking down and the whole body tie allowing you to float like a butterfly. Before the Jump, the instructor counts from 1 to 3 before shouting “Bungee” and off you go. The activity can be done during the day or night. Night Bungee jumping has its own thrill but may reduce the quality of views and photos taken. What makes Bungee jumping special? Diving down a tower and touching the river Nile provides one of the most spectacular views imaginable. The main thrill comes from falling freely and then rebounding softly over and over before finally touching the waters. It is one of the scariest things but also the most adventurous activity one can do in their lifetime.

What actually happens at Bungee Jumping in Uganda?

Bungee jumping in Jinja starts with the registration of participants (including making payments) and signing the waiver form. While registering, participants can choose to go for the long or short jump. The long jump goes all the way down enabling one to touch the river Nile itself while the short jump stops midway. After registration participants are called out one at a time for briefing while the others wait for their turn or cheer on from a balcony. Before jumping, the individual is dressed up in the right jumping gear. Both legs are tied with a single rope to allow the participant to fall freely letting the bungee hold him/her smoothly as they touch the Nile. First-time jumpers are advised not to look down at the 44 cliffs before jumping. Those afraid of heights may find the experience overwhelming but the knowledge that thousands of people have made a similar dive safely in the past should be enough consolation. Even so, closing the eyes or looking straight ahead is highly recommended for it will help one remain composed and not chicken out. Once you are about to take the plunge, the feeling is difficult to describe. Your heart beats and your mind tells you not to take the leap but eventually, you do and it’s over in minutes. The initial fall/descent takes a few seconds as the rope bounces back and forth before finally settling down at the bottom of the river. By this time the fear is gone and you begin to realize how amazing the whole thing is. Most people want to do it again and again (if not for the cost) after this first experience. After reaching the bottom and touching the Nile, Guides at the bottom will be waiting with a boat to untie them and take them to a safe waiting place to recover and relax.

Useful Tips for Bungee Jumping in Uganda

  • There is not a strict clothing directive in bungee jumping, anything you are comfortable with works. It is not recommended for women to wear a dress or high heels though. 
  • If you are scared of the height you are in, it is totally normal to decide not to jump beforehand but it is crucial to make that decision before jumping, not in the last step.
  • You should carefully listen and trust the jump instructors since they go through in-depth international training to become qualified instructors. 
  • Try not to eat much before your jump; it is even better to jump with an empty stomach. 
  • Avoid carrying valuable items with you since they can fall and distract you from the experience. 
  • You must be at least 13 years old to take part in Bungee jumping.
  • The minimum weight for participating is 35 kilograms. The tower supports weights of up to 260 kilograms.
  • Because the maximum weight is 260kg, those who are afraid to jump alone can go with a friend and jump at the same time.
  • You cannot take part in the activity while pregnant.
  • One must be free of any heart diseases, high blood pressure or any serious medical condition in order to participate.
  • To have the best possible Bungee jumping experience, you need good hiking shoes, comfortable clothes, insect repellents and Sunscreen to protect against the sun.
  • All valuables including jewellery need to be left behind to avoid any loss while jumping.
  • The code used to tie the ankles can lead to bruising or swelling. Have some oil to apply on the ankle area should the need arise.
  • Do not look down before jumping if it is your first time. If you do so, you may lose your confidence and open room for fear. Many have opted out after looking down at the 44-meter cliff. It’s that intimidating.
  • It is important to ensure that you take some photos so that you don’t forget such beautiful memories.
  • Before jumping, it is important to check with the team that the equipment is functioning and fitting you well. Check that the equipment is worn out in any way and if so, have it replaced.
