A canoe trip on the Orange River, is a once in a lifetime adventure and we here at Orange River Tented Camp would really enjoy being your hosts for this experience.

We also offer canoe trips on the Gariepdam which vary from 1 day to 3 days. This area, with the Orange River flowing through, is awesome in its beauty. You will see various animal species in their natural surroundings and habitat in the Oviston Nature Reserve whilst canoeing on the Gariepdam.

For the duration of your stay, we offer you relaxation, visual splendour, incredible sunsets, nights filled with enjoyment around the campfire and a tranquil sleep under the stars.

We supply all canoeing equipment i.e. 2 man Mohawk canoes, paddles and lifejackets.
