2-Day Wet & Wild

The 2-Day Wet & Wild is the perfect weekend adventure get-away filled with unforgettable experiences. It's suitable for the whole family. The first part of our trail starts meandering down the ‘Great Orange' river, during which you will be viewing an array of birdlife, paddling and negotiating rapids while primarily being amazed at the setting!

After the paddle, we can relax in the sun and cool off with a swim in the river. After having lunch on the riverbank, we make our way back to camp, pick up our overnight supplies and head off into the wild for the evening.

Day two of the trial is a wake-up sunrise hike and a hearty breakfast after that. Then we make our way back to camp and enjoy a fresh lunch on arrival. Your tour ends after lunch at The Growcery Camp.

What to Expect on the Full-Day River Rafting Tour

You can expect first degree rapids, fast-flowing channels, and weirs along your way. The trail passes farms, granite rocks, lava deposits and reed beds along the banks of the river. You can expect some extraordinary birdlife along this trip. The tour allows you to picnic-style lunch on the banks or even an island along the Orange River. You will have ample photographic opportunities on this full-day trial. Another highlight is our rock-jumping underneath the yellow cliffs. It is optional for those who seek a more adventurous approach.

What to Expect on a Hiking Trail

The Growcery Camp is between two mountain ranges on the bank of the Orange River. The Richtersveld hiking trails take an adventurous route exploring these rugged desert mountains around the camp. Being on foot will bring you closer to understanding the Richtersveld Desert. We offer 1-8 hour guided hiking trails, the perfect way to discover the large endemic succulent population of the Richtersveld. You can find the indigenous quiver trees, “Aloe Dichtoma”, on your hiking trail as well.
