When you decide to explore the Kenai River you will have to ask yourself, “how deep is the Kenai?” There are two distinct sections – Class II and Class III. Here we will compare the two and discuss the difference between them. This article will help you decide which one to tackle. It is possible to swim in both sections, but if you’re unsure, you should do some research before you jump in.

Class III section

Rafting on the Kenya River can take up to 21 days to complete. A class III section takes about half of the river’s length. The rest is classified as class II. You’ll be rafting through lush scenery and the river’s scenic calm water between rapids. The trip starts at an altitude of 800 meters and descends to 600 meters by the end of the trip. It will take at least three days to complete this adventure.

There are several other options for those who are seeking more challenging rafting trips. For beginners, there’s the Upper Tana, a class IV run that’s fun at almost any water level. If you go higher, though, the river goes into Class V. For more experienced kayakers, the Lower Tana is a step up: a short, steep IV+ section with massive holes and ledges.

The last seven kilometers of the Kenya River are more advanced. After the Class III rapids, you’ll tackle three Class IV and V rapids. The rapids are categorized as Can of Worms, Sphincter Flexor, and Sphincter. The river is often calm in parts, but can get raging at other times. Whatever you choose to do, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience.

Most rapids in the Himalayas are classified as Class II. They have a moderate gradient, but may require some maneuvering. While avoiding medium-sized waves and rocks, trained kayakers can paddle the Class II-III sections with ease. Rapids in this range are rarely dangerous, and group help is often required. A good kayaker should also have a guide or scout the area before embarking on the trip.

Class II section

If you’re looking for a challenge, rafting the Class II section of the Kenya River is the way to go. This section of the river has a few tricky rapids, but overall, the trip is quite scenic and fun. The river has four main sections: the Upper Tana, the Class II section, and the Class III section. The Upper Tana has low water and mellow rapids, but turns into Class V when the river is high. The lower Tana is a step up from this, with short ledges and rapids that go straight to Class V.

The second day of the trip begins with a leisurely breakfast before setting off to tackle the class II and III rapids. You’ll pass the beautiful scenery that the Tsavo East National Park offers. Along the way, you’ll see abundant wildlife, including crocodiles, hippopotamus, and elephant. Of course, you’ll see zebras and giraffes, but it’s likely you’ll spot a crocodile or two as well.

From the Athi River’s headwaters, the Kenya River continues west and gradually descends into the floodplain. There are numerous seasonal pools and lakes throughout the river. The Sabaki River’s lower course is dotted with lagoons and mangrove stands. Snowmelt from the upstream range floods the river, making it a great place for a family vacation. When visiting the Kenya River, you’ll want to spend a day exploring the wetlands, and the wildlife that live there.

While the western part of the Kenya River is relatively flat, it is surrounded by mountain ranges. The western portion of the Kenya River drains to the Indian Ocean, while the eastern portion drains to northern Tanzania. A few rivers have a Class II section as well. During high water, the Kenya River morphs into a Class IV section and a Class II section. The eastern section is relatively flat and shallow, with occasional patches of muddy sandbars and dry banks.
