This rafting thing? Need more info? Here goes!
What to expect:
On most of the rivers in southern Africa on which white water 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.
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.
The day ends at a caravan park where you can have a refreshing shower and watch the sun set.
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
