The places we go to, the rivers we raft
Please note that all these rivers that we do whitewater river rafting, teambuilding
and kayak trips on are, except for the Vaal and Ash rivers, subject to water-levels.
If it hasn't rained enough in the catchment area of the river, it is possible that
some rivers might be too low to paddle.
The Vaal River, however, always has a little water, enough to ‘croc’ on, and the
Ash River gets water pumped from the Katze dam in Lesotho, through the tunnel, managed
by the TCTA (Trans Caledon Tunnel Association). So the Ash River always has an exciting,
constant water-level, all year round! Perfect for white water rafting! And for team
building of course!
Enjoy what Clarens, the picturesque little town with its many art galleries has to
offer, including a very exiting day of white water river rafting and kayaking. The
Katze dam in the Lesotho mountains and the Highlands Water Project ensure a constant
flow of icy cold, crystal clear water all year round that makes for exciting grade
III to IV rapids. Ideal for a corporate getaway or teambuild.

The Mkomazi River has something for everyone - mild to wild. Let us know what you
have in mind, and we will select a section most suited to your needs. The section
from Hella-hella on the Umko with rapids number 1 to 8 is an old-time classic ideal
for kayaks and rafts. Close enough to Durban and Pietermaritzburg for a great teambuilding
session Let's go!
We do most of our multi-day trips higher up on the unknown section of the Mkomazi
River (the old Umkomaas River) from Impendle to Lundi’s Hill. On this stretch of
the Mkomazi River the scenery is stunning and the rapids very exciting and continuous.

This is really roughing it for 2 or 3 days, sleeping over on the banks of the river.
The Bivane river flows through a beautiful, remote area, and the river is very exciting
and technical. Not for the faint-hearted. This river raft and kayak outing is exclusive
because there are only a couple of days in the year that the new Bivane Dam releases
water specifically for running river rafting and whitewater kayak trips. The white
water rafting and kayak trip ends in the Itala Game Reserve. Let's do some game viewing
too!

Ash River – Clarens (in die Vrystaat nogal!)
Bivane River - Vryheid (KwaZulu Natal - South Africa)
Mkomazi River (the old Umkomaas River) in KZN
The ideal one-day river raft outing. Only one hour's drive from Jo'burg. Easy grade
I and II rapids (on a rising scale of difficulty from I to VI). Suitable for the
whole family, even kids from 6 years will find the whitewater rafting a thrilling
experience (if they are comfortable in water and not scared of swimming in the pool).
Enjoy a relaxing whitewater raft trip with abundant birdlife and exciting rapids
like "Gatsien" and "Big Daddy".

Umzimkulu – Southern Natal
One of the most beautiful rivers in the country, with something to offer everyone.
Easy grade 1 to 3 raft and kayak sections ideal for the whole family for a 1 day
river raft outing or roughing it a bit on a 4 to 5 day white water rafting expedition.
Or go for the opposite extreme with serious sections like Thrombosis Gorge only for
the hardcore kayakers out there. You decide! What about something in-between? The
section at Oribi Gorge close to Port Shepstone is a must and can also be split into
a 1 day whitewater raft outing or a multi-day expedition.
And then there are also 5-7 day whitewater raft and kayak expeditions on the Mzimvubu
in the Transkei on special request.
