River Rafting in Johannesburg – Ride the Rapids, Feel Alive
Johannesburg shares a curious distinction with Birmingham in England – neither was built on a river or harbour. But that doesn’t mean Joburg is dry. In fact, it’s the source of two of southern Africa’s great rivers – the Limpopo and the Orange – and a network of streams trickles through its suburbs, hinting at hidden waterways just beyond the city sprawl.
Just 30 minutes from the city, river rafting on the Crocodile River offers an exhilarating escape into nature. Paddle a two-man inflatable canoe through lively Grade 2 and 3 rapids, perfect for first-timers and thrill-seekers alike. Along quieter sections, enjoy the tranquil bush scenery, rich birdlife, and earthy scents of the wild.
With trips available most days (conditions permitting), and set within the Lion & Safari Park, this is Joburg’s wild side – unexpected, refreshing, and right on your doorstep. Grab a paddle and dive into wild waters close to home.
