The most popular of these trips are generally on the perennial Orange or Vaal rivers, but there are other rivers in the country where your clients can go white-water rafting.

One of the best of these is the Ash River, close to the town of Clarens in the Free State, a three-hour drive from Johannesburg. Because the Ash River is fed by water from the Katse Dam in the Lesotho highlands, rafting is possible here all-year round (unlike many other rivers that are seasonal).

The Umkomaas River in KwaZulu-Natal is a seasonal white-water destination that also offers opportunities for multi-day trips, as is the Doring River in the Cederberg in the Western Cape.

Another exceptional experience, is a multi-day river-rafting trip. This is an authentic African outing, allowing your clients to sleep under the stars and drift down pristine stretches of river.
