Paddle the Orange River with Adventure Kayaking

If you love the outdoors and want to experience one of South Africa’s most iconic waterways, Adventure Kayaking on the Orange River is the perfect escape. Based at Vanderkloof Dam, our passion for paddling shines through every trip we lead, whether you’re joining us for a short, fun outing or an extended multi-day adventure.

Our signature journey is a 4-day guided Orange River trip, starting in Hopetown and ending in Douglas. Along the way, you’ll paddle through spectacular scenery, camp on the sandy riverbanks, and soak in the tranquillity of wide-open skies. For those who prefer a shorter getaway, we offer 1-day kayaking or fishing trips on the river or dam, as well as a 2-day river option that includes comfortable overnight accommodation at Edgerton River Lodge—perfect for those who love adventure but not camping.

If you’re looking for something unique, our 3-day Vanderkloof Dam experience combines kayaking, hiking, and nights under the stars at the Bankfontein tented camp. Each itinerary is designed to balance fun, relaxation, and outdoor exploration.

Groups and corporate teams are also welcome. Our teambuilding adventures cater for up to 30 people, with everything included—from top-quality equipment and hearty meals to the guidance of experienced, safety-conscious river leaders. One thing you’ll never have to worry about here is water—the Orange River is full, flowing, and always ready to welcome paddlers of all skill levels.

So whether you’re a first-time kayaker or an experienced river enthusiast, Adventure Kayaking offers the perfect mix of fun, discovery, and relaxation. Bring your friends, family, or colleagues and join us for an unforgettable journey on South Africa’s mighty Orange River.
