Gecko Tubing on the Sabie River – Small Rapids, Big Fun!

Ready for a fresh and fun way to explore the natural beauty of Mpumalanga? Try Gecko Tubing on the Sabie River – a light-hearted adventure that combines calm scenic paddling with just enough splashes of adrenaline to keep things exciting!

The Sabie River winds its way through lush forest and mountainous landscapes, and is dotted with a handful of manageable rapids. These rapids aren’t too big or technical, which makes this activity ideal for families, beginners, or anyone looking for a river experience that’s equal parts chill and thrill.

You’ll head out on a specially designed one-person Gecko inflatable raft – a cross between a tube and a mini-kayak. They're tough, stable, and easy to steer, so you can float with ease through gentle pools and steer yourself through the bubbling rapids that appear along the way. Expect laughter, splashes, and lots of memorable moments.

Along the route, you’ll enjoy the untouched beauty of riverbanks shaded by indigenous trees and might even spot a few birds or wildlife along the way. Professional guides accompany each group, giving tips on how to navigate the water and making sure safety is a top priority.

Gecko Tubing on the Sabie River is an excellent half-day adventure to add to your Panorama Route itinerary or Kruger National Park visit. It’s active, accessible, and just plain fun.
