What to see on a quad bike.
Off the beaten roads on your 4 wheeled bike, expect to meet/ see a lot for example motorcyclists and also bypass them, locals attending to their gardens, women having their babies on their backs, others washing on the river banks, kids waving to mention but a few. However, chances of meeting cars are minimal.
NOTE: Quad biking does not require any kind of experience. All you need is a 30 minute briefing on how to manage the all -terrain vehicles while on road to maintain stability through controlling gears. After you will be divided into groups depending on the ability.
Take caution of the people / kids crossing and the next biker as the wheels can throw mud into their faces.
The bikes should be done for fun not competition with ongoing narrations from the guide about the Nile and Jinja at large.
