Paddle down Orange River 🚣♀️🇳🇦!
Just across the border from SA, is the Orange River, which actually forms the natural border between South Africa & Namibia.
The Orange River starts high up in the Drakensberg Mountains in SA and ends in the Atlantic Ocean.
As soon as you cross the border, everything slows down including the staff at the border 🙂
We took our team on a half day rafting 🚣 excursion on the Orange River which flows all year long and feeds hundreds of table grape 🍇& tomato 🍅 plantations for export.
The 16 km journey on a canoe 🛶 was a good, but not too intense exercise after eating big portions of meat, which is very popular in Namibia. 🥘
While we paddled our way down the Orange River, we saw plenty of bird life 🐦 - from fish eagles, cormorans and darters to weavers, egyptian geese and more.
Our Next stop will be Fish River Canyon, a 250km drive from Orange River.
