Arrival Day at base camp:
Arrive at our base camp any time after 4:00 PM—just across the Namibian border and be ready to kick off your adventure. Your Camp Manager will be there to greet you. Take a moment to unwind—enjoy a swim or join in a game of volleyball to shake off the travel. Dinner is served at 7:00 PM, followed by an evening around the campfire where you’ll have a chance to connect with your group. At 8:00 PM, your guide will host a quick “packing talk” to walk you through stowing your kit, drinks, and essentials for the trip – the perfect time for answering any last-minute questions
Start the next day with an early breakfast, then get prepped for the river with a safety briefing and equipment overview. You’ll get the basics of paddling, what to do if your canoe flips (don’t worry, you’ll be in good hands), and how to handle the rapids. Stock your cooler with ice and drinks before we hit the river from base camp. Spend the morning paddling through dramatic scenery and perfecting your stroke. Lunch will be served along the riverbank, after which the journey continues downstream to our riverside overnight camp.

Lunch is typically served between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM and we typically try to stop for the evening by 4 or 5pm. But exact times can vary based on the group, water levels, and other factors. Your guide will decide the best times to stop.

On day two, wake up to another hearty breakfast and prepare for your final leg on the river. Pack up, soak in the early light, and set out for a relaxed morning’s drift, with plenty of chances to swim, toss a frisbee, or simply watch the world float by. We’ll reach the takeout point between 2:00 and 4:00 PM, after covering around 45 km of the Orange River. From there, hop in the shuttle for a scenic drive back across the desert to base camp, where you can unwind while your guides whip up a farewell dinner and you enjoy your last night beneath the southern stars.
The next morning, after one last breakfast with your Canoe Crew, you’re free to head home—until the next time you feel the call: Canoe. Camp. Repeat.
