Rafting Camp Encijan – An oasis of peace and hedonism

A modern outdoor retreat in the heart of the Tara river canyon, kilometres from civilisation. We are one of the most beautiful camps on the Tara river and the only Bosnian camp located at the starting point for rafting the most exciting stretch of the river. Rafting Camp Encijan carries a 15-year tradition behind it and thousands upon thousands of satisfied guests who have visited during that time. One of the first camps built on the Tara river and one of the last oases of peace and hedonism in these parts.

PRICELESS !!!

We were delighted first time we came here, and second we were overwhelmed again. Encijan is arranged and clean but still wild, without exaggerating – a real fairy tale. Tara, one of the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen, is unreal here – almost emerald. People and service were excellent throughout and we felt at home. Just imagine yourself deep in the highest river canyon in Europe, surrounded by untouched nature and peace. One thing is certain – this atmosphere and scene you will never forget. A unique place, unique people and so much more 🙂

So great

When I decided to go rafting with my boys and friends, I expected beauty, but I ended up thrilled. The camp is beautiful. The service is top notch. Great food. A great skipper on the rafting. I would recommend it to anyone who loves untouched nature, relaxing by the river, the chirping of birds and a real Tara experience. We will definitely come again.

This is my husband's and my seventh stay at this camp, which says it all about how happy we are. "Happy" is an understatement – the setting, staff, quality of service and food are rarely found elsewhere. This place is our private paradise, an escape from the hectic everyday and a chance for a mental and physical reset.
