In addition to guided canoeing tours, we also offer canoe rentals for self-guided tours and have lovely Chalets Accommodation

The Magnificent Ritchtersveld section

We operate on the Richterveld section. River canoeing or rafting trips through this section offer an unimaginable experience. We chose this section of the Orange River because of its sheer magnificent natural wealth and scenery. This gem is nestled between South Africa and Namibia between the Richtersveld Mountains. Our section of the river is fed by dams higher up the stream, for agricultural development; they regularly release water which means we almost always have enough water for an unforgettable canoeing trip. The river is classified as grade 1 and 2, meaning it offers gentle rapids that are not too challenging. It’s suitable for families of all ages.

Orange River Experience

Come and explore world-class white water on South Africa’s popular river – Orange (Gariep) River!

With Orange River Canoeing, you only experience fun, fun and more fun! Enjoy lovely sunsets, stargazing, relaxing campfires, delicious food, breath-taking picturesque Mountain sceneries, barbeques (braai) and lots of fun activities.
