We will sleep on the banks of the Orange River, explore the Richtersveld Mountains, and enjoy the great outdoors! You are welcome to relax outside next to the fire or in your tent. This isolated part of the Richtersveld makes you feel like a real adventurer. We take all the food we need and prepare meals over open fires. There are no designated campsites. We start our day with an early morning paddle. In the afternoons, we will stop for a picnic-style lunch and enjoy the tranquillity of the river.
We have time to relax in the late afternoons and even hike in the mountains. All our camps are natural areas along the river, and we respect the ecosystem by taking all our refuse with us. We will p provide you with a complete packing and kit list. It is essential to have the proper preparation guidelines when joining a river rafting adventure on the Orange River. We recommend that you arrive at our base camp no later than 5 pm on the first day when our guides will welcome you upon arrival. We will s end our evening by having dinner, preparing for our adventure the following morning, and relaxing around the fire.
