River Rafting Trips in Tshwane, South Africa.
As the year draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking about the holidays. The Dirty Boot’s Adventure Platform is the ideal resource for finding fresh and exciting activities that will get the whole family out into nature in a way that they’ll never forget. But this month we’re getting excited about River Rafting and White Water Rafting. Whether it is something you’ve done before or something you’ve never considered doing, river rafting should be on your radar, especially as a family activity or end of year celebration with a group of friends.
It’s hard to imagine anyone ever being bored on a raft (or canoe) careening down a river, with the sound of fast water in your ear and the shouts of instructions from your river guide or your paddling companion as your raft bucks and twists. And then the relief as you enter a calm, glassy section and have time to chat and keep an eye out for wildlife, before your guide tells you to brace yourself and get ready for the next wild ride!
Tshwane is fortunate to have its fair share of navigable rivers both in close proximity (like the Crocodile) and a bit further afield (like the Vaal, Sabie and Orange Rivers).
Locally based operators, Ground Zero Adventures and Liquid Adventures, have located their adventure activities on the most scenic and fun stretches of river, with sections that are fast flowing and exciting. River Rafting offers an activity that is inclusive; you don’t have to be super fit, so it’s ideal for the whole family. Trips can be customized to suit the group; age, level of adventurousness and length of experience wanted. Day trips will add a splash of energy to the school holidays, a way to get the kids excited about the outdoors. With the risk of a good soaking, phones will be happily given up and communication will be necessary to navigate the rapids. It’s a win-win!
For a life changing experience that has defined many childhood holiday memories, think taking this to the next level with a multiday rafting adventure. Your kids will experience a real sense of exploration, of going on a proper expedition out in the wilds. With evenings around a roaring fire under the stars, exciting chatter about the days challenges and highlights and long hot days on an endless ‘water slide’, this activity is an absolute winner.
