White Water Rafting

Operational –  end of May to September – depending on the rainfall

WHAT TO EXPECT – Short Video Clip:

White Water Rafting – 1 hour from Cape Town  – A stones throw away from the town of Kleinmond.

The scenery is breathtaking as the mountains tower over you, and the lush green nature reserve stretches as far as the eye can see. The smell of fynbos cloaks around the river, as insects buzz and sounds of wildlife echo off the gorges. Tubing is provided during the summer months, while rafting is expected during winter. Professional guides lead you on this adventurous ride of a life time, but bookings are essential. Relax and for a few hours forget about the hustle and bustle of the city.

Kogelberg Nature Reserve a World Heritage Site – is often considered the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, because of the exceptional quality of its fynbos. The reserve has remained isolated and remarkably unspoilt. Its high mountain peaks, steep kloofs, valleys and several tributaries of the pristine Palmiet River create a sense of remote wilderness. Spending the night in the reserve if you have time is an absolute must. Have a look at the link below.
