We provide all meals from arrival evening to departure morning. All the wholesome meals are prepared on the river rafting expedition. We source all our fresh produce locally in Namibia. However, fresh produce & other fruits are sometimes in short supply. We thus suggest that the clients bring along fresh fruits & produce to bring along on the river. Please indicate any special dietary requirements on your booking form. We cater to basic, Vegetarian, Kosher and Halaal diets. For other dietary needs, bring your own replacement products. We will provide a detailed menu to help you determine what to bring. We offer a R200.00 discount per person for dietary needs we do not cater to.

Supper is served at 7pm. We start getting to know each other around the campfire and 8pm we give a “packing speech”. Here we teach and show you how to pack your luggage, liquid refreshments and personal belongings. This is a good time to ask all those questions that has been building about what to expect on river. Your friendly guide will be more than happy to put all your nerves to rest!
