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.
Paradise for nature lovers
An unreal place right by the Tara! Stunning nature, an incredible river and the colours surrounding the camp. Friendly staff, varied and delicious food! Professional skippers, staff available 24/7. A hospitable atmosphere and a great time. Fully recommended!
For seven consecutive years we have held the undisputed #1 leading position on the world-renowned travel review site TripAdvisor, with our Certificate of Excellence, in the accommodation category and service quality tier compared with every other rafting camp and agency in the region.

Tara River Canyon
The canyon is protected as part of NP Durmitor and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Tara Canyon runs through Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, carved by the Tara river. Measured from Bistrica in Montenegro to Hum in Bosnia and Herzegovina it is 82 kilometres long, the last 36 kilometres of which form the border between Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. At its deepest point the canyon reaches 1,300 metres. These figures make it one of the deepest canyons in Europe. This "Tear of Europe" is a superb natural and tourist attraction for the region and the whole country.

Organic food
Above all, our home cooking is one of the main reasons our guests return again and again. The traditional home cuisine and organic food we prepare at Camp Encijan – included in all our packages – is another major reason why most of our long-time, satisfied guests want to come back. Much of our delicious home cooking is prepared with love in the traditional way, entirely from fresh organic ingredients sourced from the nature around us. For a moment, every new bite can carry you off to another, slightly forgotten dimension – back to the times when your grandmother cooked for you.
