Itinerary

Arrival day
Arrive at our base camp just a few minutes across the Vooilsdrift/Noordoewer border and meet the Camp Manager. After your journey, take some time to unwind, cool off with a swim or enjoy a relaxed game before dinner at 7 PM. Around 8PM, we’ll gather around for a packing briefing for your river adventure ahead and answer any questions you may have.
You will enjoy an early breakfast at 6am to fuel up for the adventure ahead. Your guide will teach you what you need to know before the boats hit the water. During this safety talk and equipment demonstration you will get a rowing tutorial, learn what to do if you capsize and how to tackle the rapids. Feel any questions, so that you are completely comfortable embarking on this journey. Remember to listen carefully to your guide  – your safety is our priority!

You will begin to row from base camp and take in the beautiful scenery and wildlife around you. In the afternoon, you will have a well-deserved break for lunch on the riverbanks. You will continue downstream and enjoy the refreshing water and the basking sun. After a day of hard work, you will find a camping spot on the riverbanks where you’ll sleep under the stellar night sky. The guides will prepare a tasty dinner for you while you explore the riverbanks and settle down for the day.
Wake up with the glorious sunrise while the guides get breakfast ready. You will leisurely drift downstream and take in the breathtaking scenery of the Namib desert. Swim, fish, play ball or just sit back and relax. You will spend each night on a different riverbank. You may hike up to the abandoned fluorspar mines for where you will see stunning views of the Rigtersveld and the mighty Orange River winding through the mountains. On day three, you will resupply at Sjambok.
Enjoy a relaxed final morning on the river as we raft our way towards the collection point at S-bend. Pickup is between 2 PM and 4 PM, after covering around 75 km – Congratulations!! We’ll then head back to base camp through the desert, where you can cool off with a swim, enjoy some sundowners and relax while dinner is prepared, followed by an overnight stay at base camp.
After five wonderful days on the river, enjoy a final breakfast before saying goodbye and making your way home.
