This is truly one of the purest adventure trails in Southern Africa. The Gariep River or “great river” as it is called by the local Nama people offers a unique outdoor experience to those you seek tranquillity and adventure. The Orange River cuts through the Richtersveldt desert reserve and is now part of the Transfrontier transformation parks in Africa.

We offer 4 – 6 day river trails, exploring the many hidden treasures of this remote and almost forgotten desert reserve of Southern Africa. The river is surrounded by semi precious stone, rock formations, and volcanic rock to the abundance of small animals, primates and extraordinary bird life.

Departing our base camp head to our adventure with just the bear necessities prepared for the days of wild camping to follow. Our camps will be along the river edge and we will follow the ethics of eco tourism along the river.
