Orange River Trips

How do our trips work?

We offer a variety of tours to ensure that this adventure is perfect for you. Our trips range from a one day on the river to five full days and all of our trips are catered.

The day before you start rowing, you’ll arrive at our basecamp. Dinner is served at 7pm, followed by a packing speech. On the first day of the trip you will eat breakfast at base camp and then set sail. We row about 15km each day, breaking for lunch on the river banks. At the end of the day, your guide will pick a lovely spot to sleep under the stars.

When your trip comes to an end, we will pick you up at the end point and bring you back to our base camp. You will eat dinner and overnight at our campsite.
