This rafting thing? Need more info? Here goes!

What to expect:

On most of the rivers in South Africa on which white water river rafting is done, 2-man inflatable rafts known as "crocs" are used due to the rocky and shallow nature of our rivers. These river-craft are very stable, safe and require no special skills or experience. Can't swim? Don't worry, you won't need to. You will float, the lifejacket will see to that.

On the Ash River, however, water gets pumped from the Katze dam in Lesotho,through a big tunnel, and then flows all the way to the Vaal dam via the Ash River and various others. The Ash River near Clarens in the Eastern Freestate, therefore always has exciting grade 3 and 4 water and is not rain dependant at all.

On the Ash River just outside Clarens, we use only big 6-man rafts with a guide in each raft to steer the raft.

This trip on the Ash River is without doubt the very best 1-day white water river rafting trip in South Africa! Very exciting but at the same time also very very safe.

We also provide all safety equipment, i.e. lifejackets and helmets. You will be perfectly safe in the hands of the experienced and highly qualified river-guides.

Along the way we will stop to enjoy a delicious lunch on the banks of the river. Please let us know in advance if you or anyone in your group has any special dietary requirements, i.e. halaal, vegetarian, etc.

For our white water rafting trips you need to bring:

Costume, loose t-shirt, strops or takkies, in other words, clothes you can get wet in!

Very important: glasses and sunglasses are easily lost. TIE THEM DOWN

Change of dry clothes

Towel

Personal effects

Sunscreen

Camera
