Central Drakenberg - River Rafting

There are four rivers that are used, the Tugela River, the Mlambonjwa River, the Injasuthi River and the Bushman’s River, the Tugela being used most frequently. They offer one, two or 3-day packages. The Daily Rafting Trip will take about 3 hours, after which you have a braai and refreshments. This is a really sociable time with all chatting about their adrenaline rush experience. The trip consists of 45 minutes on flat water with only Grade 1 rapids (very small rapids). This is basically a teaching session, as most visitors have no river rafting experience. You learn how to control and steer the boats. Then you have a swimming practice to learn how to get into the boats. After that you get to the more serious part. You get into the gorge where there are a number of rapids - Grade3 / 4 and 5 rapids. Grade 5 is the biggest rapid allowed to be run commercially throughout the world. The Tugela has one of the greatest white water sections in South Africa ranging from Grade 1 – 5 with the odd portage around a commercially unrunable Grade 6. There are 2 Multi Day white water rafting trips, a 2 day 1 night trip and a 3 day 2 night trip. These are exclusive rafting trips with a minimum number of 6 people and a maximum number of twelve people. There is an experienced guide with you at all times. A safety talk is given to all participants before the trip and all safety equipment, is supplied by them. They carry a medical aid kit and cell phones with them at all times, and follow all the guidelines of the African Paddling Association. Transport, refreshments, meals and camping is included in the price.
