What do you do when you win a voucher to spend the weekend of adventure in Sagana at Savage Wilderness? You pack up your things and rush to Sagana! That is exactly what I did last Saturday. I won a competition ran by Savage Wilderness on their Instagram account (make sure you follow them, you might just be the lucky winner the next time they have a competition) to spend the weekend at their camp. The camp was having a busy weekend as they were hosting the annual Tana River Festival and their annual Teachers’ Weekend.

I arrived at the camp at around 1:30 pm found the Tana River festival activities already underway. Some people were heading out for mountain biking and others were in the river kayaking and stand up paddling.

Adventure in Sagana

Zip Lining

One of the best adventure activities to do in Sagana is Zip-lining. I joined a group and geared up for my first activity of the day, zip lining. The zip line is 100 m which is way shorter compared to this one so I was not nervous. It was so much fun I went twice.

Archery

After zip lining we went for archery, which I was terrible at! It was fun though and I would gladly try my luck (or lack thereof) again.

We were supposed to go Wall Climbing but we opted to spectate bike ramping which was one of the Tana River Festival activities. What it is is basically riding up the ramp and jumping into the river.

Accommodation

The camp has cottages, bunk beds and camping facilities. I chose to sleep in a tent by the river.

Sunday

You can not go to Sagana and fail to participate in a water activity. In fact, you cannot go to Sagana and not raft. Sagana and rafting go hand in hand.

Rafting was incredible! More details on that are coming soon so do keep an eye out for the next post.

The rest of the day was spent lazing around the Camp’s grounds with an option of swimming.

A huge thank you to Savage Wilderness for making this happen.

Until next time, Seek Discomfort!
