Our transport will collect the group and transfer them to the put in point approximately 20 km upstream for the base camp. At this point guests will be introduced to the river with a safety and environmental talk after which the river guides will show guests how to pack their 2-man inflatable canoes (Croc's). Once on the river the group will make its way down stream to the lunch stop. After a snooze and lunch the group will raft down stream to the overnight stop (we make camp in the bush on the riverbanks). The group will enjoy dinner and the evening under the stars on the banks of the river.

After lunch we make our way back to the base camp (the group will arrive back at base camp by 15H00) where the group came together on Friday evening. Once at the camp, guests can enjoy a hot shower and a change of clothes after which time guests should be ready to depart for Cape Town.
