Our boat is a 16-seater and you will be able to cross the river in 30-40 minutes including queuing time. Price does not include transfers and immigration assistance but can be arranged for an additional fee upon request.

Our boat is often booked out by the World Bank for shuttling staff since 2022, so please try to book ahead of time so we at least know you're coming, even if you change the actual date of your crossing.
